> A butt plug out of a potato? That's ingenious!

To give credit where it might be due:  Much the same concept (carving a
sweet potato for use as a butt plug) came up in a very recent "Savage Love"
column, where it's mentioned by Ellen Barnard:
http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0306/savage.php

Way before that, Tristan Taormino covered erotic potato sculptor Pommela de
Terre in an
article titled "Hot Potato Sex!"  Her article, which originally appeared in
a December 1999 issue of the Village Voice
(http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/9951/taormino.php), was reprinted in her
book True Lust:  Adventures in Sex, Porn, and Perversion (Cleis, 2002).
Explicit pictures of the encounter can be found at

Shortly before that Village Voice article, Stephen Lemons wrote a
similar piece for Crave.  (See http://www.gettingit.com/article/736.)
