I experimented with a mechanical marital aid: The wholesome bodice-ripping yarns of a tradwife

By Emma Buckley-Hough, curious about this new-fangled ‘electricity’ she’s heard about

IN my God-fearing lifestyle, extramarital sex condemns you to eternal damnation. And copulating with a beast is slightly frowned upon too. But the Bible has nothing to say about seven-inch silicone dildos or vibrating cock rings.

How could this be? If God is all-knowing, surely He foresaw a time when His children could order a lifelike phallus at 4pm and still benefit from next-day delivery? I reread Corinthians in case it was mentioned there, but I couldn’t find anything.

This creates a curious loophole. If strap-ons, butt plugs, love eggs and strokers do not go against the word of God, then does that mean I could use them in the bedroom? I asked my husband and he gave me an encouraging shrug of approval.

The thought of using a contraption during intercourse seemed bizarre to me. The only device I am familiar with is the oven, and rightly so. A G-spot stimulator surely is nothing like that? How would I get it up the stairs?

I needed guidance, so I turned to the most deviant person in my contact book. Susan may look like a faithful housewife, but she once kissed a boy out of wedlock when she was 16. If anyone knew about the kinky underworld of mechanical marital aids, it would be her.

Under the cover of darkness, I went over to look at the contents of her bedside table. Imagine my surprise when it didn’t contain a prayer book or rosary beads, but a plastic nine-inch male member with three pleasure settings.

‘Your husband doesn’t even have to use it on you,’ she whispered like the snake in the Garden of Eden. ‘Wait until he’s at work and you can sort yourself out.’ The next day I purchased my own because she selfishly wouldn’t let me have a go on hers.

When the diabolical truncheon arrived, a wave of guilt crashed over me. How could I betray my husband by sleeping with this rod of lust? The Bible may not say it’s ungodly, but I could sense the Devil’s evil in its juddering length. So I binned it.

Thankfully my love life has returned to normal. It was sinful of me to even consider using a sex toy. Making love in the dark until my husband is finished while I keep one foot on the floor is all the erotic excitement I need.

Your astrological week ahead for July 25th, with Psychic Bob

Aries, March 21st–April 19th

If you’re ever suffering from imposter syndrome, remember that the guy from the B-52s thought he should become a professional singer.

Taurus, April 20th–May 20th

Feel culturally relevant like you did when you went to see ‘Barbenheimer’ by watching The Odysseminions.

Gemini, May 21st–June 21st

When film characters say ‘There’s something you need to see’, would it really kill them to give a brief explanation? A busy homicide detective doesn’t want to waste time with a funny clip of a monkey on YouTube. 

Cancer, June 22nd–July 22nd

‘Many a mickle makes a muckle,’ they say. Presumably because ‘You’ll need at least 50,000 mickles for the deposit on a flat and that’s for somewhere shit’ is just depressing.

Leo, July 23rd–August 22nd

You always thought it was ‘I don’t want to be the bear of bad news’. Although bears often kill you horribly, so you’re slightly less of a dense twat.

Virgo, August 23rd–September 22nd

Does anybody actually eat the egg after they’ve fried it on the bonnet of the car to show how hot it is? If they could poach it without straggly bits that would genuinely impressive.

Libra, September 23rd–October 22nd

Why do we say moral compass? A compass just shows you where you are. And where you are might be a nasty wanker and cool with it.

Scorpio, October 23rd–November 21st

Cheers AI summary, my question definitely was: ‘Can I speak to a grovelling sycophant who keeps trying to prolong the conversation with irrelevant detours?’

Sagittarius, November 22nd–December 21st

If you forget your boyfriend’s birthday, swear blind it’s on a different day then claim it’s the Mandela Effect causing different realities to bleed into ours. If he’s into the paranormal this makes way more sense than ‘I forgot’.

Capricorn, December 22nd–January 19th

‘I hope this email finds you well. I’d be gutted if you had a cold. Or an ear infection. Or herpes. What a curious way to discuss you sending me a work document.’

Aquarius, January 20th–February 18th

What happened to Supernanny? Aren’t we due a reboot where people keep moaning like bastards about preferring the old naughty step?

Pisces, February 19th–March 20th 

If you’re missing the World Cup, see if you can find an obliging Argentinian who’ll keep shoving you when you’re nowhere near a football.
