They say good things come in threes… so why not have three consecutive posts about sex? This one is about a banned vibrator.

(In an attempt to remain at least somewhat family-friendly, I’m instituting a dildos-below-the-fold policy, so the rest of this post is after the jump…)

A radio-controlled vibrator made in Britain has been banned in Cyprus after it was branded a threat to national security.

The Cypriot military are concerned the sex toy’s electronic waves will disrupt the army’s radio frequencies on the island.

A spokesperson for makers Ann Summers confirmed its Love Bug 2, a small, egg shaped device operated by a remote control, was on sale for use everywhere in Europe - except Cyprus.

“The remote control only has a range of six metres. We have still been selling them in Cyprus, but with a warning urging Cypriots not to use it unless they travel abroad,” said the Ann Summers spokesperson.

In its promotional literature the company describes the device as a “deceptively powerful matt silver love egg”, later adding: “Not for use in Cyprus”.
