A cow sex toy may certainly be a first for the agriculture industry. A Central Saint Martins graduate, however, has certainly opened up the conversation with three products that are designed to "make farming practices more pleasurable" for animals. According to Ece Tan, the range of cow sex toys is to "remind desensitized consumers of the range of emotions that animals can feel." The designs aren't made for actual use, but for people re-think the invasive practices that are already routinely done in the dairy industry.
The collection of speculative cow sex toys is called 'Happy Cow.' It includes "an artificial-insemination dildo," a teat massager that can be attached to a milking machine pump, and a ribbed latex examination glove. Ece Tan used silicone as a main material to hint at traditional sex toys.
