Making those used knickers you find on eBay and in Japanese vending machines look a bit, well, stale, one of the most remarkable products promoted at Venus Berlin was Vulva Original “Real Vagina Smell.”

This “authentically natural” vagina flavour claims to smell and taste like the real thing - which must be a good thing, right?

It’s not a secretion substitute for women who have dried up though, more an aphrodisiac for guys who have difficulty getting stiff - apparently even test-sniffers with underdeveloped olefactory systems got bone-hard at the merest whiff of the stuff.

The Vulva Original Web site waxes lyrical about the product’s benefits: “Vulva Original beguiles the sense with the scent of a real vagina,” it, er, gushes. “Thus opening up completely new vistas for enhancing your sex life.”

I guess that means it can also help to disguise the smell of latex, which helps enhance the fantasy when you’re pounding away at a Fleshlight or one of Jenna Jameson’s artificial body parts. A benefit that’s not to be sniffed at [groan].

Unlike with a real vagina, the instructions for use are thankfully simple: “Shake Vulva vial well, and the fluid is transformed to optically resemble the object of every man’s desire” - a Playstation 3 and 72-inch plasma screen?

It’s a snip at only 19.90 euro, which works out about the same in US dollars.
