Manduka! Same cost, but not Lululemon. Again: Not Lululemon.

Seriously. TRY IT. It's the best. The only downside is that it's not hookup friendly. It can't be used with condoms.

What Jezebel left out in it's reporting is the why, as well as some other important facts.

Everyone is blowing this is off as some weird fetish-y thing and missing Mark's larger point: this is becoming normal. Let me repeat that again: hardcore, extreme and often dangerous sexual acts, overwhelmingly involving women, are becoming more and more normalized. Things that should be seasoned fetishes and…
