Horses: The Original Vibrators

My first sexual "exploration" occurred through a healthy appreciation of moderately explicit scenes in books (recommendations: there are a couple good ones in Madame Bovary... most sci-fi, especially the trashier sort... The Vicar's Girl, but that's just erotica...) and awkward encounters with immature neighbor boys. Neighbor boys who now, mindfuck, have toddlers. But, to this day I have yet to prize maturity over convenience.

I actually didn't get my first vibrator until my 19th birthday. A flesh-toned, molded rubber totem pole with an attached molded rubber squaw clitoral tickler. Yes, when used correctly the squaw quite literally dives into your vulva. Or rather my vulva, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who ever used it.

And as the old adage goes, history repeats itself. The seemingly tame, if perhaps mildly exploitative, becomes sexual when looking not only at my OG vibrator, but also the OG vibrator of all womankind. The horse.

Forget War on Christmas, PETA Fighting War on New York City

In a further blow to the institution of New York City, Tony Avella has proposed legislation banning horse-drawn carriages in the city, claiming it to be both cruel and inhumane. This follows a September incident in which a horse was spooked by street musicians (who hasn't been!), ran into the street, and, you know, died.

But how are tourists going to experience the real New York City if they can't be carted around by technologies over a century past their relevancy? How will we mythologize a history of industrial indulgence and Victorian romance if we can't ride behind these submissive steeds? Must we say good-bye to a world in which Seinfeld's quirky observations -- of course a horse would get gas after eating a whole can of Bean-o, its just so real! -- are still relevant?!?

According to PETA, yes!
