李曼筠則覺得人形攬枕沒問題，日本很早已有人形攬枕出售，她也不排除會推出人形攬枕。問到她不怕攬枕被人用作其他「用途」嗎？她說：「我諗唔會做D猥瑣嘢刦，問番D男人先知。」白韻琴就指人形攬枕如同吹氣公仔Mary，她笑說：「咁Mary醜樣D。」

In any case, if you think sex shops only have vibrators, dildos, sex dolls and condoms, then one could only say that you're too naive.

無論如何，如果認為性商店只有震蛋、假陽具、Mary和避孕套，就只能說一句「少年，你太年輕了」。

想不到現實生活中，亦有位男子愛上私家「Mary」，二人結成正式夫婦，男方仲話「太太」有正當職業，平時會講粗口，果真戲如人生。

Mary

I have a passion for the name of Mary,
For once it was a magic sound to me:
And still it half calls up the realm of fairy
Where I beheld what never was to be.

1821, Lord Byron, Don Juan, Canto the Fifth: IV:

Mary, which is as common as a white violet, and like that has something indestructibly sweet and simple, and fit for all wear, high or low, suits the cottage or the palace, the garden or the field, the pretty and the ugly, the old and the young;

1830, Mary Russell Mitford, Our Village: Cottage Names:

For it was Mary; Mary / Plain as any name can be / But with propriety, society / Will say "Marie". / But it was Mary; Mary / Long before the fashions came / And there's something there that sounds so square / It's a grand old name.

1905 George M.Cohan, Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway, Mary is a Grand Old Name ( a song)
