I get that the leftist website The Huffington Post enjoys playing up a story about an ex-Christian pastor who is now in the business of peddling sex toys, but "COME All Ye Faithful" as the headline? Really? That one's even beneath my standards, and I didn't know I had any! (Course, that doesn't stop me from REPEATING said headline)...Regardless, how 'bout this dildo-doling Doctor of Divinity? He's 56-year-old Dutchman and ex-Parson Marc Angenant (pictured above). And after 23 years tending his flock, the good Reverend has now turned in the cloth for the vibrator (link to full story at bottom).
Angenant's operating a website called "Lief Destuin" (translated: Love Garden), which offers a whole host of sex toys "for Christians," some of which toys' function and purpose I've never even heard of...
That category would include such things as "erection rings" and "prostate simulators" (Rector? He damn near killed 'er), although Father Foreplay's website also offers plenty of your more garden-variety naughty instruments, such as the aforementioned vibrators and dildos.But even this sex toy purveyor padre, reportedly, will only go so far. For example, if you're looking to give your lover a good beatin' with a buggy whip, Angenant's website ain't for you. Quoting THP: "He doesn't offer whips or other fetish items, but not because he finds anything wrong with them -- he just doesn't want to shock the Christian community."
And I can appreciate that: I'm sure few in the Christian community will be offended by Love Garden just so long as Angenant's website lays off the riding crops and bullwhips. But what about that stray Christian dude who REALLY NEEDS a knotted plow line for use in the bedroom? Where's he gonna turn?

Postscript: After being mostly all Politics last week, I gots a rain-like stream of Crazy People and Crazy Crimes all lined up for this week (absent Political events intervening, of course). In my crazy mind, I'd ideally go more-serious Politics one day, and then always alternate that with lighter stuff the next day. But it rarely seems to go that way. I am a servant to what I see on the Net. I can't invent stories. Rather can only react to what I see out there as best I can.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all....Father Foreplay?! LOVE that! hahaha! And secondly, good Christians need fun sex toys too, right? =)
ReplyDeleteJust keep the erection rings and prostate simulators away from me, please -- whatever those things are.
ReplyDeleteYeppers, those things don't sound like any kind of fun....you might need to do some research though before you totally write off the notion =)
ReplyDeleteIt did strike me that the linked article might have had a typo when it said "simulator" as opposed to "stimulator." But I ain't looking into it any further! No thank ya.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!! Too funny. You're a smart man =)
