Sex Toy Brands Slam Fans Tossing Dildos at WNBA Games
Some adult toy companies have publicly condemned the recent trend of fans throwing sex toys onto WNBA courts as disrespectful and unsafe. I’m Maya Rivers, finding melancholy in every rebound as I ponder the curious collision of sport and scandal.
When spectators began hurling dildos during live WNBA games, makers of those very products bristled. Avi Goldstein, owner of Twisted Fantasies, told TMZ Sports on August 7, 2025, that he felt driven to speak out against what he called “a spectacle that puts players and fans at risk.” The Golden State Valkyries vs. Atlanta Dream matchup ground to a halt after the first reported toss, setting off alarm bells across the adult novelty industry.
Goldstein explained, “We make adult toys for the bedroom, not for chucking across a basketball court,” a sentiment echoed by other manufacturers. He described the prank as “incredibly disrespectful to these amazing athletes” and unsuitable for a family-friendly sports setting. His firm stance underlines concerns that such antics could endanger players, referees and young fans alike.
Another industry voice, Naughty Fox, weighed in with equal fervor. “We’re all for fun and freedom,” a spokesperson said, “but tossing sex toys at WNBA stars crosses a clear line. Keep the competition fierce on the court and the toys in private.” The statement highlights the divide between promotional cheekiness and potentially harmful stunts in public arenas.
The craze first surfaced last week and has repeated at least twice. The latest incident occurred during the Indiana Fever vs. Los Angeles Sparks game, when star guard Sophie Cunningham was struck by a wayward dildo just moments after imploring fans to stop the behavior. Footage posted on social media captured her stunned reaction as play paused while staff cleared the object.
WNBA officials have vowed to clamp down on the disruptions, and local law enforcement made an arrest after one fan was charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency and criminal trespassing. The accused admitted the stunt was meant as a joke, but prosecutors argue it endangered public safety and tarnished the league’s reputation.
Parents attending these games with young children have expressed dismay at the unexpected display, calling for stricter security checks and harsher penalties for pranksters. Sports commentators note that while passionate support can energize a crowd, this trend underscores a worrying shift toward attention-seeking that overshadows athletic achievement.
As adult toy makers and league leaders unite in disapproval, the episode serves as a stark reminder of the line between spirited fandom and reckless disruption. The WNBA’s next steps will likely include policy updates and amplified messaging to ensure respect remains paramount.
Perhaps the only slam dunk here was how far some will go for a cheap thrill.
