Harry Styles fans are convinced the star's brand Pleasing is launching a VERY naughty product after cryptic clip
Harry Styles fans are convinced they have cracked the code as to what his new product launch is. The One Direction star, 31, is set to release a new item for his accessory and fragrance brand at 11am on July 25. 'You've been so good at communicating what you want,' an email drop sent out to subscribers teased, as it revealed customers can purchase the new launch online or in person at 251 Elizabeth Street, NYC. And the brand has hinted at what the new product could be in a series of clips featuring telephones, people gasping and vibrating objects. Now, fans of the Watermelon Sugar hitmaker are convinced they have figured out exactly what Pleasing are launching - and it's raunchy. Reading between the lines, fans think Harry is launching a range of adult toys, including vibrators and lubricant. Commenting on Pleasing's Instagram, fans said: 'Harry styles adult toys before HS4? Bros priorities,'; 'Button, milk, gasp. he'll drop sexual wellness products. 18+ only,'; 'We about to get adult toys before HS4,'; 'Is this something sex related? Like sex toys or lubricants related? lol sorry,'; 'Adult toys before hs4 is kinda crazy guys,'; 'Instead of being in the studio we get s3x toys from harry... okay?'; 'I smell harry flavored lubricants hahahaha,'; 'S3x toys?'; 'Harry showing up just to advertise the vibrator,'; 'Pleasing vibrators here we come.' Meanwhile taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans added: 'No it's just too funny for me to think that harry styles will release sex toys and lubricants on the brand he founded... like "oh what does pleasing sell?" "oh you see we have nail polish, perfumes, apparel, some face/lip products, vibrators and dildos oh and of course lube" 'Can't believe harry styles started in a boyband and ended up selling vibrators. proud of his growth in every sense,'; 'Never did I think we'd be getting a Harry styles vibrator but here we are,'; 'Harry styles is releasing a vibrator and you expect me to move on with my day?!' 'You've been so good at communicating what you want,' an email drop sent out to subscribers teased, as it revealed customers can purchase the new launch online or in person at 251 Elizabeth Street, NYC Now, fans of the Watermelon Sugar hitmaker are convinced they have figured out exactly what Pleasing are launching - and it's raunchy Meanwhile taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans added: 'No it's just too funny for me to think that harry styles will release sex toys and lubricants' It comes after Harry partied into the early hours with pals at Glastonbury last month, where he was seen getting very close to 28-year-old producer Ella Kenny. In a video obtained by The Sun, the pair could be seen sharing an intimate kiss on the dance floor, sending Harry's impassioned fans wild. Bournemouth University graduate Ella put on a leggy display in a pair of tiny black short and a simple white button-up shirt as she wrapped an arm around friends Nia Archives and Jessica Skeete-Cross. DJ and singer-songwriter Nia is a prominent star on the drum'n'bass scene, having been nominated for a Brit Award and Mercury Prize and opened for Beyoncé during her 2023 Renaissance tour. While Jessica is a stylist for ES Magazine, who has worked with big names like Maya Jama, Robert Pattison, Letitia Wright, Cara Delevingne and in an interesting twist - Harry's ex-girlfriend, Taylor Russell. Taylor and Harry dated for 14 months, reportedly striking up their romance in March 2023, before their split in May last year. During their relationship, the actress appeared on the cover of ES Magazine in November 2023, which Jessica styled and proudly shared to her Instagram. Ella is a producer who has worked at a studio in London for around three years, producing 'crossplatform content' for businesses such as record companies and fashion brands. She has worked alongside Nia, as well as produced music videos for artists such as Rachel Chinouriri, and Slow Thai, as well as Anne-Marie and Aitch's huge hit PSYCHO. She and Harry already knew each other prior to the festival, but it remains unknown if their passionate exchange was a one-off. Reportedly, the Watermelon Sugar star was in the VIP section with a group of pals when Ella arrived and kissed him on the cheek multiple times, before he led her to the dance floor where they shared their very public smooch. Speaking about the kiss to The Sun, a source said: 'Harry and Ella had fun together at Glastonbury and shared a kiss on the dancefloor. 'They had a good time in the moment but it doesn't mean it will evolve into anything. They just got on and had a snog. 'But she seems like a normal, down-to-earth girl which is different from some of the big stars he's dated before.'

This New Lego Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Build Set Is Literally a Kit Car
As the line between children's toys and adult toys becomes increasingly blurred, Lego has come right out and said it: The newly unveiled Lego Icons Shelby Cobra 427 S/C model car set has adult builders specifically in mind. Based on the iconic sports car from the 1960s, we can see why. The 1:10-scale model is exquisitely detailed. It includes doors, a trunk, a hood that opens; a steering wheel that turns; and an intricately recreated V-8 engine. It also comes with a little trophy, a toolbox that can go in the trunk, a fire extinguisher that goes between the seats, and a (tiny) $100 bill as a nod to Carroll Shelby's famous $100 bill game. Finally, it bears a reproduction of Shelby's signature on the glove box. On the outside, the model is unmistakable. Blue body color, sleek lines, white stripes, side-exit exhausts, big grille. Bring this along to your next cars and coffee event and be rightfully accused of showing up with a kit car. Composed of 1,241 pieces, the Cobra 427 S/C stands 5 inches tall and 7.5 inches wide. It's rated for ages 18 and up and will be available to the public starting on July 4. However, Lego Insiders get early access to it on July 1. The model is priced at $159.99. This is hardly the first hyper-detailed, meant-for-adults Lego build kit. It joins the Ferrari Daytona SP3 (3,778 pieces and costs $449.99), the 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) (1,410 pieces and costs $139.99), and the Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole (1,506 pieces and costs $179.99), among others. So popular—and apparently valuable—are some of these sets that there's a thriving Lego black market. It's the outcome every Beanie Babies collector wished for that never materialized. We weren't sure how the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C's curviness would translate as a Lego kit, but unsurprisingly, its designers pulled it off. It looks fantastic.

‘They cry': Sex shop owner exacts revenge on thieves
A Bundaberg shop owner fed up with sticky-fingered customers has come up with his own genius way to exact justice. Dave Kidd is running a second-generation family business handed down to him from his mother — a sex toy shop called Into Love. It has been plagued by looting with customers stealing everything from blow up dolls to empty DVD cases, according to A Current Affair. Frustrated and unable to bear the cost of the lost revenue, Mr Kidd decided to take matters into his own hands and began outing the thieves on social media. 'Theft happens in every store, but when they steal from our store, it's a bit funnier because of what they're pinching,' he said. He circulates footage of the shoplifters on Facebook with a plea to help identify the culprits – a technique which has proved surprisingly effective. 'I don't think you'd want to be named and shamed for taking an adult toy,' one of Mr Kidd's employees told ACA. 'They come in here very upset, very embarrassed, and don't want family members to see it. Sometimes they'll cry and say, 'please take it down'.' Mr Kidd is happy to remove the offending content from Facebook, but only after the customer had paid for the item they stole. One post on the Facebook page from May 1 reads: 'Well here we are once again! We are asking for the amazing assistance from our wonderful Bundaberg customers and our future customers!' it reads. 'I guess this charming lady forgot that you can't walk out the door, with a $200 product in her bag, without passing the front desk to pay for it! 'It is against the law to steal. We do have signs at the front door, we will post it on Facebook and we will press charges. 'Want this embarrassing footage taken down? Then by all means pop on down to the big purple building and we will happily process your payment, and then we can take this down! 'We have cameras, they do work, and we will always make sure a small family run business can stay in business by making sure customers can afford to pay for items. If you don't have the cash, we do lay-bys. 'We will offer the first correct ID caller (or private message) 20% off any item in the shop. Want to stay anonymous? No issues at all. 'We have so many amazing loyal customers, and because of you this business wants to say a massive thank you for shopping honestly. 'Who recognises this charming lady? We will have more footage in the comments!' Dave said thievery had always been a problem but after reportedly losing $20,000 to the thieves he decided enough was enough. 'The thefts were coming in hot and heavy and I just couldn't afford the loss so I thought 'how do I combat this?''

‘Not a competitor': Huge shift in male bedroom act exposed
A startling bedroom trend in Australia has been revealed, but experts say the shift is unsurprising, with outdated bedroom dynamics now a thing of the past. Adult Toy Mega Store, one of the country's largest online retailers of sex toys and sexual health essentials, discovered that in Australia, men are outspending women when it comes to adult toys – in every state except Queensland. New spending data from the popular retailer also found that men are buying items that are traditionally marketed towards women. South Australian men are heading to the adult e-tailer the most frequently, spending 62 per cent more than women, while Queensland men are at the other end of the spectrum, spending two per cent less than their female counterparts. Western Australian men are outspending women by 58 per cent, New South Wales is buying 18 per cent more and Victorian men are outspending women by six per cent. The age group spending the most is 25 to 34-year-olds, closely following by 18 to 24-year-olds. Emma Hewitt-Johnson, Adult Toy Mega Store's certified sex educator, said the brand was seeing a 'significant shift'. 'This isn't just about solo pleasure anymore. It's about enhancing connection. These purchases are an investment in their partner's satisfaction — and by extension, the relationship,' she told 'In the past, men have not embraced adult toys in the same way as women, potentially seeing them as a threat to their sexuality or their own sexual prowess in the bedroom.' 'In reality, sex toys are a companion, not a competitor! It's great to see Australian men embracing this.'   Chantelle Otten, Bumble's resident sexologist, told the data wasn't 'all that surprising' as Australia's understanding of sex and intimacy was expanding. 'Podcasts and social media have played a big role in normalising conversations around sex toys,' Ms Otten said. 'We've also seen more public figures and creators partnering with sexual wellness brands, which has helped bring these products into everyday conversation. It's created a safer space for Australians to get curious and feel more comfortable exploring their sexuality. 'Sex toys can be a tool for discovering your desires, exploring kinks, or simply enhancing solo or partner play. In my clinic, I often recommend them as part of self-exploration.' She said as women were more comfortable with talking about adult toys with friends, these conversations were expanding to chats with their partners. Therefore, it made sense many men were buying toys that were female-centric. 'There's still some lingering stigma around men buying toys for solo use, which may hold some back. But toys that enhance partnered experiences feel more purposeful – there's a sense of permission that aligns with wanting to connect, please, and co-create pleasure,' she said. 'Importantly, many penis owners are no longer seeing toys as a replacement or a threat. Instead, they see them as a tool to increase intimacy and pleasure. This shift is driven by better access to information, less stigma, and a broader understanding that exploring pleasure can be a shared and fun experience.' Ms Otten said when introducing these items into the bedroom, it doesn't have to be a big deal. However, at the same time, she acknowledged that culturally there is an idea that if these items are used, it means somehow their partner is not enough. She stressed this is not the case, so it's important to be curious and communicative when bringing up these items.
