Girlfriend Rule #874: Some Things Should NEVER Be Shared

September 22nd, 2011 - By Demetria Irwin

Ever borrowed a shirt from a friend? What about a skirt? A clutch? All perfectly normal things that girlfriends sometimes share. Well, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal likes to share too, but she likes to share her sex toys. Yep. You read that right. Maggie Gyllenhaal “lends” her friends vibrators. You see, Maggie has a movie called Hysteria that chronicles the advent of the vibrator (an 1800′s invention, might I add) and during filming, several retailers sent her vibrators.

Not one to be selfish, Mags decided to share the wealth. Here’s what she had to say:

By the time I finished the movie I’d been sent maybe 15 vibrators by different people in London with vibrator stores. It was a pleasant surprise. So I have this incredible collection, and I actually use like one or two of them. I lend them to my friends, and they’ll take them for six months at a time.

Say huh, say what? We totally understand GIVING your girls your extra, unused toys, but lending? Nah. Let’s not do that. Ever.

Have you ever had a girlfriend try to borrow something that was off-limits? What about someone offering to lend you something that was a no-go?

    Wow, nothing like moving quotes around in a story to COMPLETELY change the meaning of what the lady actually said. Disgusting – on Demetria Irwin's part for doing it and on the part of madamenoir for posting it! This is how people get sued for libel!

  • Jill

    Yes. This article certainly mangled her original sentiment.

  • RDW

    SFA51, SOME women are N-A-S-T-Y!

    R. Scynic is right on. This is bad "journalism." She "lends" the bags and "shared" the vibrators around. There's no mention of getting the vibes back. The six month refernce, is, indeed, about the bags. http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2011/09/maggie_gyl…

    She said "lend" not "give"… Oh HELL no!

  • chewitsoftly

    done it, no biggie. When something is really great, you gotta share. Plus it's fun to try before you buy. Use a condom, and wash. Of course, I've also shared boyfriends and girlfriends. Lighten up, people!

  • chrissy

  • loriel

  • SFA51

    'Just goes to show what I've been saying for years: "Women are N-A-S-T-Y"…

  • Rachel

    Exactly. Seems like you are one of the few that understands this article.

  • NEWHAIR5000

    lol wow.there are so many things that you can share with your friends, but THAT isn't one of them.

  • Prissy

    Ugh.

  • Korey

    I won't be that one.

  • Korey

    That's not kosher… or sanitary….

    And the friends are stranger for even borrowing them.

    I'd be like "Thanks Mags, but I'll buy one of my own… No it's okay. I do not mind. But you could loan me your brother's phone number. "
