She took a perfectly fine point (toys can be used in sex and enrich the play)...and then formulated in a way that would indeed be off-putting to plenty of guys.

Toys should not become LeBron James of your sex, "earning more points" and leaving partner on the sideline. They should be useful assistants at reaching the peak pleasure.

As long as the point is "my partner can drive me even hornier with this" - it is super healthy and great. But when the toy itself becomes the focus, it's not great. She could masturbate much to the same success.

Comedians often take things to the extreme for comedic effect. If that were the case, the vibrator wouldn't literally be LeBron James, but maybe Karl Mslone, who is made way better with John Stockton (the vib, if it wasn't obvious) setting him up.

Too bad there's no way to know, like a community name or the person's name in the image itself...

Sure, but, while comedy can omit some nuance, this goes straight into the odd direction to begin with.

Eh, I thought it was funny. Most comedy should be assumed to be making a caricature of whatever the target is.

I respect that angle :)

Even if it was the case that the vibrator did more heavy lifting in any given encounter I certainly wouldn't want to be told in this way
