'Artificial Virginity' kit banned in Egypt (where to begin with the wrongness of this)

The official description of the Artificial Virginity Hymen Kit, a vaginal gadget sold by Chinese sex toy company Gigimo, reads as follows:

"No more worry about losing your virginity. With this product, you can have your first night back anytime. Insert this artificial hymen into your vagina carefully.

Add in a few moans and groans, you will pass through undetectable. Its easy to use, clinically proven non-toxic to human and has no side effects, no pain to use and no allergic reaction."

Dear Friend or Foe,

My best friend “Taylor” and I have been friends for more than eight years, going back to high school. We share the same outlook on a lot of things, but lately we’ve been having the same fight over and over. I have a problem with her butting in on my sex life or, really, my lack of one.
