This is what happens when MPs have too much time on their hands. (Be very afraid.) There is apparently an urgent need to regulate sex toys. And MP Dr. Carolyn Bennett is coming to the rescue!
‘These unbelievably committed young women sent me this letter,” recalls Dr. Bennett. “I thought, ‘well I know nothing about this’…I went to meet with them at their store.”…
“I frankly didn’t know about international orgasm day,” says Dr. Bennett. (The small, relatively unknown celebration falls this Monday, one day after the MP’s birthday).
Dr. Bennett thinks it’s an important issue as more and more Canadians purchase sex toys….
“Sex is a pretty common activity, and these sexual toys are certainly a growing market, and I really do feel at the moment we’ve got a bit of a double standard in terms of what we allow and don’t allow,” in terms of chemicals, she says.
“I wanted to help them, because they had a good cause, in spite of the fact that it is unfortunately still a topic that makes some people uncomfortable.”
Sex is a pretty common activity and it’s important to take on good causes, particularly at Christmas time. Thank you, thank you…

That’s funny, because when I emailed her (she’s my local MP, unfortunately) about the Henry Morgentaler OOC award, she didn’t seem too interested in my point of view on this important topic.
For a time she was my MP in Toronto too. Sorry (though not surprised) to hear that, El.
