The women involved claim to feel sexually “empowered” through the activity. A recent college graduate who was interviewed for the article had no qualms about...

Eager to continue tapping, I checked out Passion's competitor, Temptations Parties, where company founder and November 1982 Playmate Marlene Janssen taught a dozen women in a Manhattan apartment how to test vibrators on the tips of their noses.
