It’s hard to think of this psychedelic romper as sexy when the model is sitting like she’s trying to sneak one out. It’s also hard to think of it as sexy because it’s stupid and makes her look like a giant toddler.

This week’s Etsomnia post is about Etsy’s sexy side. We’ve all seen the word ‘sexy’ applied to things that don’t really do it for us. But of course, Etsy’s sellers take it a step further. Oh, who am I kidding. They took it miles and miles further. Bow-chicka bow what?
Some really bizarre things came up when I searched for ‘sexy.’ Things so dirty, I didn’t dare link to them. Items so pervy, I feel like they stole a piece of my childhood. Objects so very wrong, I would never share them for fear that angry villagers bearing torches would turn up at my house. Happily, in among the ho-hum and the I-can’t-unsee-that stuff was a whole slew of hilariously weird items which I’ve included below.
As usual, links to the items for sale appear below each picture. For more Etsy fun, check out all my weekly Etsomnia™ posts.
This contraption is intended to be a sexy, comfortable (I am not making this up) undergarment for men. “Surprise your spouse.” Indeed. From a store that has all kinds of, um, let’s call them novelty items
This one is called “Male Erotic Thong G-String Duck.” I am assuming ‘duck’ is a typo
On the other side of the spectrum, this “Sexy English Style French Maid” costume might have missed the sexy mark, but at least you’re getting plenty of fabric for your money!
The women aren’t faring much better. For example, here are some “Crotchless Panties” that, like all cheap jewelry, will turn you green. In your special place. That should be fun to explain.
I would call this ‘novelty’ before ‘sexy,’ but at least it’s kind of clever.
And to make sure your “sexy” lingerie doesn’t get wrinkled, there’s this very useful item which, according to the packaging, “looks real.”
Not sure what’s supposed to be sexy about this. Maybe it’s meant as a form of birth control?
Apparently, sh***ing is not all bears do in the woods.
Someone please tell me what’s sexy about this 3.5′ stuffed Digimon thing. No, I take it back. Please don’t.
“EZ Sexy Crutch Covers.” I did not make that up. by a seller who definitely does NOT know what that word means
I’m trying hard not to judge the fetish people, but this is ridiculous. Plus the Easter Bunny is ruined for me forever.
And speaking of fetishes, the 50 Shades people are out in full force.
Finally! A Sawszall metal dildo attachment that COMES WITH AN OPTIONAL RECIPROCATING SAW. By MinalousFancies
‘Sexy’ garden rake door knocker. And you know how I love knockers!
This is Carol The Adult Lady Puppet. According to the description, Carol is wearing something she bought at the puppet lingerie store. She “loves to play around before bed.” And yes, Carol has orifices. Good grief.
Sexy “Furry Critter Fanny Pack” sure to attract the opposite sex. Or the same sex. Or whatever it is you’re trying to attract. Unless you’re looking for adult partners, in which case you’re shit out of luck. By RaveNation, which actually explains everything
If this is how you ask, I’m guessing you already know the answer is no.
Ha Ha! Oooh that bunny mask was a bit sick! I might have bought the English maid’s outfit to give Mr Grump a thrill, but all that scratchy, shiny material looks pretty uncomfy, plus one spark and the lot will go up in flames! (That is the only way that outfit will ever be hot)! I love the romper suit, perfect for an ABBA fancy dress party! As for the men’s ‘sexy’ underwear….doesn’t float my boat!! YUCK!!!!
Oh how I look forward to your Etsomnia™ posts. That one should have been called the reverse Superman weiner cape. And oh gosh, the crutch covers. I just can’t. Nope. And the adult lady puppet with the faux pubes showing through the faux lingerie? It’s just… too much. These people vote for our President. Think about that.
Thank you! It’s so nice to hear that you look forward to Etsomnia! I love your comment about them being voters. Well, I love it and I hate it. Okay, I mostly hate it. But anyway, thanks!
Hilarious!!! How will I resist typing “sexy” into the Etsy search box from now on? Oh wait…easily 😛 oh and the bunny head?…I always liked grommets but now I see they can save lives. Everyone should have some on hand. Serious suffocation risk there. Probably the whole point!
Oh. My. Goodness. Again. I wish you could have seen my face reading this post hahahaha. That bunny mask was terrifying. And I have one word for carol the adult puppet- ggggrrrrooossss just gross!
This is hilarious. My husband and I used to have a few similar laughs looking at the “International Male” catalogue which somehow mistakenly came to him (for gay men). It was filled with some really cool things like pirate outfits, bionic gold latex underwear. But I think that company went under after the recession.
