fuckit, I'm probably never going to do it anyway, so to expand on my musings here... https://www.qbn.com/reply/395278… :
After the Borough Market attack in LDN a couple of years back, I was thinking that people might want to get a bit flyover state American about things and start arming themselves. Trouble is, in the UK, you're not really allowed to sell weapons, especially when marketed as such. So, I figured a solution would be to sell coshes (which were, in LDN of yore, quite a popular item, used by Peelers and miscreants alike to bash the shit out of people), but not as coshes per se. As dildoes.
At first blush, this might seem a bit limiting, but when you consider what makes for a good dildo in material terms, you get some interesting cross-over between pleasure and fuck you *thwack* pain.
I figured there'd be options in both wood and moulded silicone, with embedded elements that would give some heft and potential lethality to what might otherwise be quite an ineffectual twatting devie.
I came up with branding, sketched out a number of unit types that could reasonably be fabricated at small scale without too much investment, and then easily scaled up. I considered the marketing and pitch, especially in relation to aesthetics and getting around the whole 'can't advertise a weapon' thing.
The idea being that people so willing could carry around a device that ostensibly skirted illegality, but could also be wielded for self-defence.
Also, the prospect of a bunch of limp dick Jihadists getting the shit beaten out of them with dildoes seemed like a great idea.
i mulled it over with a few friends who have the means to manufacture or invest, and they looked at me wryly with a "oh ffs, here we go again" faces. One person i talked it over with thought it was a great idea - but he was thinking more in terms of personal defence for sex-workers - an avenue I'd not considered, but wasn't particularly inspired to target.
It was only after I'd ..er.. fleshed out the idea that a memba'd:
*shrug*
i still think it's not a terrible idea.

- lofl. I'd do the copy, but it's really going to be hard (har har) if these were actually used. Brace for headlines including "sexual assault".garbage
- Have you seen 'assault torches'? Think they are in the same kind of area you are thinking about and a lot less embarassing if your bag falls open.microkorg
- They are solid CNC metal torches with a brutal spike pattern around the lens which is 'meant' for breaking glass in emergency.microkorg
