Gwyneth Paltrow defiantly added a second sex toy to her annual Goop Father’s Day gift guide – designed to mimic the feel of a vagina and mouth.
The Sliding Doors actress, 50, sparked controversy when she first released the list of recommended gifts at the end of May because it included a recommendation for children to buy their fathers a £176 ‘hands-free prostate stimulation’ vibrator.
The Goop entrepreneur re-released the list to fans Monday before Father’s Day on June 18, and it now includes the £160 Arcwave Ion sex device.
Fans have derided the actress saying it’s basically an “overpriced Fleshlight” and “American Pie-style” gift, as it’s set up to make users feel like they’re penetrating a vagina or mouth.
One critic said it looked more like a “coffee maker” or “blender” than a sex toy.

‘Slide your penis into the Ion with a little water-based lubricant, let the device rumble awake and discover stroking movements and eight levels of suction, from gradual builds to intense peaks.
“Ion is made with ‘smart silence’ technology so that the device turns on automatically when it comes into contact with the skin and turns off when you put it aside.”
The Ion pack comes with a USB cable that gives it two hours of charging, and the product description mentions that it has a handy ‘twist-to-open design’ for ‘easy cleaning’.
It also states that the device, measuring 6 inches long and 2 inches wide, is a “one size” that “fits most,” and is advertised with a picture of a young man with rippling abs lying on a bed sleeping as he device by his crotch.

Her Goop thing has released a Father’s Day gift guide, and for heaven’s sake, their latest offering – I’m not kidding – includes a £10,000 Rolex, £50,000 Arctic Circle trip, but the gift everyone was talking about, and not in a good way is to give your dad a sex toy that costs £160.
