Sex shop sends free sex toys to women who pledge to vote in US election
Shop is sending vibrators to women with ‘I came and I voted’ stickers
A sex shop in Montana has started sending free sex toys to women who pledge to vote in the upcoming US election on Tuesday 3 November.
Billy McWilliams, who owns a shop called Erotique in Bozeman, Montana, explained that he plans to send out 2,200 of either red, white, or blue vibrators to women across the country.
Mr McWilliams, 60, added that he is not favouring either Republican or Democratic voters with his initiative.
“It’s not a Republican orgasm or a Democrat orgasm, it’s an American orgasm," he said. "Someone has to help us come together.”
The vibrators that Mr McWilliams is sending will be dispatched along with stickers that read “I came and I voted”.
“They are bullet vibrators and retail at around $12.95 (£10)," he said.
“It’s small, it’s powerful, it takes a triple A battery and it comes in red, white and blue."
Mr McWilliams says he has given away 400 of the products in what he is calling “the Great American Orgasm”.
“In these stressful times, everybody needs a little or a big orgasm - what the heck else are they doing?" he said. “This is our Covid stress relief.
“I also think it’s an important election and the more people who vote, the better for our democracy.”
Mr McWilliams went on to say how he hopes that by sending out free sex toys, he could help rectify the orgasm gap between men and women, which suggests that women have far fewer orgasms compared to men.
“We are under-orgasming, particularly women,” he said.
“Fourteen per cent of women in the United States have never had an orgasm.
“Out of every three orgasms, men have two and women only have one. We have a fixable problem.
“Some women will never get a vibrator because they don’t want to put it on their credit card.
“This vibrator is an easy, discreet, no judgement sex toy and it makes women’s lives better."
The US election takes place on Tuesday 3 November and will see Donald Trump and Joe Biden go head-to-head for the presidency.
The first televised debate between the two candidates took place on Tuesday evening in Cleveland, Ohio.
