I am standing in the GST sex shop in central London, staring up a plastic vagina. I don’t do this usually. Not a few weeks ago I come by a news clip about some people in Canada who have reported a pharmacy to the Canadian equal opportunities ombudsman for sexual discrimination. The reason, cause it sells sextoys for females and not for males. Now people don’t usually talk about this, they rabbit on about the rabbit, but the plastic vagina has yet to have its Sex and the City moment. So what is out there, Or rather, what is in there?

Fredrick Smith is the buyer for G.S.T. He’s a midget and he appears happy, so he takes me by the racks of men’s toys with the passion of a guy talking about drill bits. “The big thing at the moment are the anal toys,” he says, waving at a wall of Rocks Off Naughty Boy prostate massagers. “Lads look to have found their bums at long last. Straight men didn’t used to want to buy anything anal,” he beams at me - the fleshlite, “That’s all changed.”

Together we peruse inflatable dolls there is an obese one called Fatima the Fully Functioning Sex Doll, who I feel a weird compassion for and some vaginas. I stick my finger inside one. It feels like a bowl of jelly. It felt wrong. “Guys mostly buy these to use alone,” Jack says. He points out the Juicy Lucy portable can, which looks like a beer can but has both a vagina and an anus inside, and the Fleshlight, a torch containing a vagina. Both are like they were put together by the legend Q for James Bond, “Now, Bond, if you press this a rubber dong will shoot out!”

Toys are a lot more acceptable now than they used to be. There is more crossover between the mainstream and us. But sex toys for women are still more talked about. With lots to choose from. Why is this, Why do women wave their rabbits at the world while men hide their rubber vaginas?

A mans sextoy does not look quite as cute as female sex-toys. A probe looks more attractive than a fake vagina. You can’t say the vagina is an ugly thing. You cant say that it looks like something that fell out of the ugly tree.
