The holiday season is just around the corner — and Dakota Johnson’s got a different and unique kind of gift idea!
The 32-year-old Fifty Shades star has unveiled a new product from her and sexual wellness brand Maude, which Dakota joined last year. The product is simply called the “cone” and is a small anal plug that Dakota had been working on since she joined as co-creative director and investor of the brand. In an interview with InStyle, she stated:
“When I first came onto the company, I asked if there would ever be some kind of an anal product because I know that there are so many people that are curious about it and , you know, there are so many parts… that are erogenous zones that I think could just be fun for people to explore.”
Dakota went on to share how she thinks that gifting friends with sex toys can be a “very cool thing” to do:
“Just as an anal plug is ‘taboo,’ a lot of women think a vibrator is taboo — and a lot of women can’t orgasm from penetrative sex alone. I think that that fact is obviously becoming more well-known, but there are people that I have gifted a vibe to, and it’s been their first vibrator, and that is a very cool thing to do.”
She spoke about how these can actually be beneficial for prostate health:
“But similarly with cone, you know, stimulating a man’s prostate of even a female’s A-zone can add so much to sex and also be beneficial for prostate health.”
She also shared that people have approached her about her involvement with the company and these types of products in a seemingly hushed way, and expressed that she’s been trying to make sexual wellness a normal, “totally cool” thing:
“A lot of men and women will be like, ‘I heard you’re involved in this company and they always kind of have a hushed voice [when they ask questions]. And I’m like, it’s totally cool! I love being able to speak about sexual wellness, standing behind Maude.
It has sparked a conversation that is so necessary… everyone should have access to quality education, first of all, and products surrounding sexual wellness.”
