SEBASTOPOL, Calif. — Acclaimed author, speaker and "ageless sexuality advocate" Joan Price has announced a "Sex Toy Sightings" social media contest that asks fans to photograph a favorite sex toy in a public place.
Running through Thursday, December 19, winners will receive prizes donated by various companies including Hot Octopuss, Good Vibrations, Smitten Kitten and Fun Factory; lubricants from Wicked Sensual; sex-themed gifts from Lucky Bloke; and Price’s books and webinars.
Known for her recent work on “Jessica Drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex,” Price spoke to the inspiration for launching the cheeky new contest.
“This idea came to me on a weekend away, when my date mate and I playfully photographed some of our favorite sex toys in the public places we visited,” she explained. “‘Sex Toy Sighting!’ I called out, and the idea was born.”
Rules for the contest are simply that the location "must be public and with no expectation of privacy," with no human faces pictured, although Price notes that animal faces are okay. "The best, strangest and funniest photos in several categories will win prizes," a rep confirmed.
Categories include: "Strangest Place to See a Sex Toy," "Most Unusual Positioning of a Sex Toy in its Surroundings," "Biggest Sex Toy Photographed," "Best Sex Toy Costume," "Best Story of What Happened When the Photo Was Taken," "Photo That Made the Judges Laugh the Hardest" and "Most Retweeted Photo."
Winning photographs will be posted on Price’s blog, and on her social media sites. To learn how to submit a photo, click here.
“Taking a risk is part of the fun,” Price said. “If someone asks what you’re doing, just say ‘It’s a photo shoot.’ And if they ask what that object is that you’re photographing, just say the name of the sex toy. That might start an interesting conversation!”
