At Sextoys.com, we’re big fans of Ta Tas!  And while we generally think of them in a very fun way, breast cancer is a serious problem that requires our serious attention.  For the entire month of October, we will be marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month by donating $1 for each purchase made to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

So, if you’re thinking about buying a sex toy this month, we’d appreciate you supporting our fund-raising effort.  But even if you aren’t going to buy a sex toy this month, you can still support the work of Susan G. Komen for the Cure with donations.  Thanks in advance to all of our customers and friends who help this excellent cause.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure was founded in 1982, and in its first 25 years, it gave 1.5 billion dollars of funding to breast cancer research and prevention.  Its efforts have a global reach, with programs not only in the United States, but worldwide.  Susan G. Komen for the Cure has a 4 Star rating with Charity Navigator, and an impressive goal to add yet another billion dollars to breast cancer research by 2017.

Apparently chimpanzees use “tools” for sex.  I’m not talking about vibrators or butt plugs here.  I’m talking about objects they use to get laid.  In a New York Times interview with Dr. William C. McGrew, we learn about sex toys for chimps.   

“The male will pluck a leaf, or a set of leaves, and sit so the female can see him. He spreads his legs so the female sees the erection, and he tears the leaf bit by bit down the midvein of the leaf, dropping the pieces as he detaches them. Sometimes he’ll do half a dozen leaves until she notices.”

And then?

“Presumably she sees the erection and puts two and two together, and if she’s interested, she’ll typically approach and present her back side, and then they’ll mate.”

So, some leaf tearing and a little boner-vision is enough to get she-chimps in the sack?  That’s cool.  I wonder if this whole process is the equivalent of nice shoes, wanna fuck?  Or is it more like getting presented with a single rose?  Does this get her all hot and bothered? Perhaps she is saying fine, just stop plucking those damn leaves!

I have officially put too much thought into chimp sex.

No need to steal for a good time

Does size matter that much?  Apparently, one Pennsylvania man was willing to spend a good deal of money – other people’s money – to get some extra inches.  Or at least to try to get some extra inches.

From Fox Philly:

“A Lehigh County man admits he stole ID’s then racked up thousands in bills for penis enlargements.  39-year-old Jose Amid Juarbe pleaded guilty to dozens of charges, including identity theft and forgery.

Police say Juarbe stole the identities of eight people and ran up $80,000 of bills in their names. Some of the money was used to buy penis enlargements for him and a friend and breast implants for two women.”

Here’s a friendly tip: An inch or two more isn’t worth a lengthy jail sentence.

Time for a little more news of the weird.  This one comes from Florida, where a “messy” breakup led to a stolen dildo and police involvement.  But the details are just, well, bizarre.

A great dildo for well under 70 bucks

From the Sun Sentinel:

“Things are getting naughty in Niceville.  We’re talking about a stolen….dildo.  Yes, cops were called to a Niceville home on Buddy Phelps Road about the missing sex toy, reports the Northwest Florida Daily News.

The guy who lived there said a woman had lived with him for about a week. But when she left, she snatched his $70 dildo.  The cop asked him if he’d bought it for the woman.  The guy said “yes” — as well as with other women, too.”

I’ll agree with the columnist who reacted to that tidbit with “Yuck!”  For crying out loud, don’t steal a used dildo.  Buy your own dildo and leave the “yuck” out of your love life, no matter how bizarre that love life might get.
