Hundreds of people lined outside the Original Mothers, 26 W. Division St., on Black Friday as Trojan Vibrations gave away its Pulse and Tri-Phoria vibrators. (There's also a Twister version.)
"I think a lot of people don't know that Trojan even sells vibrators," said Ben Susana, product manager of Church & Dwight Co., Inc., which distributes Trojan condoms. He added that one of the reasons Trojan is doing the giveaway is to raise awareness of its products.
Among other facts Susana related is that 45 percent of men have used a vibrator (according to research from The Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University), and that vibrators are illegal in six states (Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, Texas and Virginia). "Men of all ages, backgrounds and sexual orientations use these items," Susana added.
