Sex toys are 'Dangerous'

Sex toys are becoming increasingly popular among the younger generation of this world. It is normal for a sex toy to be used in masturbation and in some forms of pornography.

No one would have guessed that a simple vibrator, described as an adult novelty device, could cause so much fear and inconvenience at an airport.

It was only last Monday that a vibrator was found left in a bin at the Mackay Airport in Queensland, Australia. Due to the "humming" of the device, officials at the airport were led to believe that it was a bomb and so took the necessary measures to protect the premises as well as the many commuters.

The eruption that occurred was not the "eruption" that the device was meant for but this resulted in the shut down of the airport for almost an hour. Everyone was evacuated from the airport, and several flights departing and arriving the airport were delayed.

The police were just about to call in the bomb expert, when an unidentified passenger recognised the contents of the package. If this individual did not step forward, the schedule of the third largest airport in Australia would have been disrupted even further bringing the airport to an unwanted climax.

Australia has implemented heightened security measures since the September 11 attack on the United States. The fear of them being attacked caused them to believe that this vibrator was more than it actually was. A simple sex toy such as this has implemented fear in thousands of people present at this airport.

Seoul sexpo highlights sex toy industry

SEOUL, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- South Korea's version of Australia's Sexpo is under way in Seoul.

Organizers of the 2006 Seoul Sex Education Expo say the event is intended to enlighten the public about sexual health, while critics contend the event is a pretext to promote pornography, Chosun Ilbo reported.

The event will feature seminars on sex, medical consultations, exhibitions of sex toys and accessories, lingerie fashion show and strip shows, the newspaper said.

Chosun Ilbo says the original Sexpo has been held in Australia for a decade as a promotion venue for the adult industry.

The Seoul Sexpo says it hopes to "provide accurate information about sex, foster a more open approach towards sex, and search for a means of revitalizing the flagging domestic adult industry," the newspaper reported.
