We can’t teach kids self-restraint and modesty. And adult authority isn’t exactly enhanced when adults act like children themselves. Its not only about the message; its how adults want to be viewed these days.
How embarrassing!

Memo to HOprah, if this is good for the masses, it should be good for Obama’s daughters, you think?

How about Oprah issuing vibrators to her girls’ school in South Africa – remember, the one that was embroiled in a sex scandal?

i knew their was a reason i did not watch her… she has her own morality

This gives a whole new meaning to “toys for tots”.
And we thought she couldn’t dumb down the culture any further.
Thanks Oprah

Oprah is icky.
Nuff said.

Doesn’t the suggestion of parents or guardians teaching their kids to masturbate, self-stimulate, or even purchasing them a sex toy constitute “aiding in the deliquency of a minor” all the way up to “child endangerment”? If the parents, most likely their mothers, had to teach their kids to masturbate or how to use a sex toy, isn’t that against most States child porn or child sex abuse laws?
Once again, Oprah has proven she needs separation from mainstream society.
NormanF hit it on the head – these adults are acting like children themselves, and not the kind of immature people polite society interacts with.

Ph.D.’s are real doctors. The term doctor was used by academics before there was any organized medical education or medical degree. Although most of us are more familiar with the term being used for medical doctors, if you are looking for a quibble, the Ph.D.’s are more acurately described as real doctors than the M.D.’s.

There is discrimination against men in schools.
There is discrimination against men in hiring.
There is discrimination against men in promotions.
Now, Oprah Winfrey wants to make us totally unnecessary.

I watched Laura Berman on a FoxNews show and all I can say is she is a man hating bitch that uses her personal opinions as fact when talking about her brand of “pop” psychology.
On her bio page she says;”has been working as a sex educator and therapist for 20 years and is considered a thought leader in her field.”
Thought Leader?? She has no shame. What the hell is a thought leader….She makes this shit up as she goes along citing her expertise as being booked on stupid shows like Oprah and the Today show.Translation huckster.
She should be drummed out of the profession as a quack and self promoting feminist bitch but since there are no standards any longer in this field, any charlatan can set themselves up as an expert and get away with it.
The media is responsible for touting this obvious circus clown as an expert and having her on TV to spout her ridiculous opinions about Sex as fact.
She is in the same league of slime balls as Dr Phil and Jerry Springer.

ok, a lot of people have made many good points, but just one kind of out in left field; if the kid can’t figure out how to provide ’self pleasure’ how the hell will they learn to have sex? if they cannot figure it out on their own, they just aren’t ready!
