Use Of Sex Toy While Driving Not Safe
Have you seen the ad for the sex toy called Auto Suck? It goes
like this:
"Enjoy your drive with the ideal mate! Plugs into any car or
truck lighter for some hot roadway action. Make sure to keep one
hand on the wheel and one eye on the road as the auto suck makes
that long commute or road trip much more bearable. *Warning:
this unit may cause ejaculation. This may be difficult to
explain to your insurance company. Use at your own risk!"
Okay, I'm not a prude and I know everyone is entitled to good
sex, I understand its our right and I'm all for it, but
please....Is it really safe or necessary to use one of these
units while driving? I think not! Look at the distraction
problems we already face on the roads everyday. All the fancy
billboards and roadside signs that flash or scroll. The idiots
who just have to be on their cells phones while driving just to
mention a few. Now, throw in a portable sex toy like the Auto
Suck and I'm scared to death to be out on the road!
Seriously, and answer honestly, how many of you can keep your
eyes open when you are having an orgasm? Come on, it's like
sneezing, you just can't do it! So lets give this toy to the
male driver and hope for the best. Yeah this is just what I want
a guy to be doing while driving a huge 20,000 pound, 550 H/P, 13
speed/overdrive tractor trailer. Seat belts and air bags don't
mean anything if you collide with one. Can you imagine the
lawsuit implications with one of these toys? The ad actually
suggests using it while driving. How stupid are they?
In my opinion your just asking for trouble if you use one of
these while driving. If you want to wait until you get to a rest
stop or someplace safe to pull off and then hook up with the
Auto Suck, fine I've got no complaints. To each their own. I
suppose used safely it could be considered an "ideal mate". But
I just don't understand what the advertisers of this toy were
thinking.
In 2004, there were over 6 million motor vehicle crashes in the
United States (data for 2005 is not yet available). The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported a total
of 38,253 fatal crashes. There were 42,636 fatalities in those
crashes. Non-fatal crashes totalled a whopping 6,143,000 with
over 2.7 million personal injuries reported. There was an
additional 4.2 million crashes related to property damage. Given
these statistics and the numerous distractions that drivers face
everyday I can only hope that if anyone purchases the Auto Suck
toy, they have enough intelligence not use it while driving.
