'50 Shades of Grey' stimulates sales of vaginal balls

5/19/2012

Just when you thought doing your nightly Kegel exercises was enough, E.L. James goes and writes "50 Shades of Grey," describing Ben Wa balls in lurid detail and adding "vaginal exercise weights" to the list of must-haves for keeping in the sexual know. The balls have been around for centuries and have long been standard sex shop items, but reps say the spike in sales since the release of the smutty novel has been off the charts, in some cases rising as much as 300 percent. It just goes to show there's no better way to bring women together than by the shared vision of enhanced vaginal elasticity.
