I read in the fall 2010 issue of Bitch magazine that a European company called Vivaeros is selling "vaginal essence." It's not a perfume; in fact, in seems to be a scent as a masturbation aid!! The name of the scent? Vulva Original. The name of the website? smellmeand.com (Actually, this was the site when this issue of Bitch was published, now it's vulva-original.com) I just checked the website out, and after the disgusting ad which shows a woman exercising on a bike, followed by a man sniffing the seat she just evacuated, the tagline says, "For your own smelling pleasure." Ahhhh!! How is this ok?
Update: Just looked more closely at the website, and it has a photo gallery that is basically soft-core porn. Some are pictures of women with their boobs out and the bottle of Vulva Original covering (barely) their lower parts. Others have no merchandise in sight and are obviously pictures meant to entice men to masturbate. So, if they enjoy themselves on the website, they'll be more likely to buy the product? That seems to be the marketing strategy.
