Why Does My Child's Unicorn Toy Have A Dick?

We’re finishing out a week of content from our sex issue with a little story from my own house: The time I discovered that my kid’s unicorn toy had a dick. “A horse dick. Also balls. A full, explicit set of genitals. On my child’s alicorn. (Did you know alicorn is the technical term for a winged unicorn? I didn’t until I had a preschool-age daughter.) At which point all my determination to be chill and straightforward about the human body evaporated, and I slightly freaked out about the fact I’d bought my then-4-year-old daughter a toy with a huge schlong.”

Because I am a very serious journalist, I went looking for an explanation WHY – and also talked to some experts about how I should handle this extremely unexpected discovery. Maybe you’ll find it helpful? Or at least funny!?
