A Double Standard For Sex With Objects

11.06.2010 | By: T. P.

Who is to decide if somebody is allowed to have sex with objects - for example a bicycle, a vibrator or a sidewalk?

Among the things used for sex with objects we can also find a shoe. (Photoxpress)

Sex with objects: Where is the limit?

Robert Steward was standing in his room in a hostel wearing his T-shirt and no trousers, holding the bike and moving his hips back and forth as if to stimulate sex. Two cleaning ladies caught him in the act and called the police, who then arrested him and placed him on the Sex Offenders Register. The story was published by the BBC in November 2007. It triggered numerous reactions of the public that protested in his defence. Would you arrest a woman if caught having sex with a vibrator, a cucumber or a broom?

Why would anyone want to have sex with an object?

You are probably wondering what the suspect said to all of this. Robert had denied the offense, claiming it was caused by a misunderstanding after having had too much to drink. Maybe you are also wondering how on earth can you have sex with a bicycle. For example, you can turn the seat upwards and use it as a dildo. If a masochist, you can put your penis between the chain and the driving wheel or the spinning wheel. You could use the handles as a dildo and women could rub their vagina on the tires. Robert was only moving his hips.

Boundaries of good taste are one thing, but what one does in the bedroom or any other room with any object should be left for each individual to decide. With a bicycle, pot, mixer, vacuum cleaner, etc. Double moral though exceeds all boundaries of good taste. You can stop in the first striptease club and get sex but you mustn’t have sex with a traffic sign.
