Martial Artist Sues Sex Shop: Michael Waylon Lowe Claims Sex Gel Left Him "Dysfunctional"

When Michael Lowe purchased Kama Sutra Pleasure Balm, he thought he would be ready for a heated experience. The martial artist was correct, but it wasn't the kind of heat he wanted.

Lowe is now suing the Philadelphia sex shop that marketed the "prolonging gel," a store called The Mood, located at 6^th & South Streets in the heart of the bustling South Street corridor. The $50,000 negligence suit against The Mood and the product's manufacturer, Karma Sutra Co., alleges that Lowe suffered "a significant loss for a man who is very vital in other aspects," according to his lawyer, Thomas Kline.

The "pleasure balm" reportedly burned his genitalia and has left him "dysfigured" according to a KYW news report.

Lowe said that during a sensual moment with his fiancée, she left momentarily to tend to their 3-year-old daughter, and returned to find Lowe complaining of "excruciating pain and pressure in his penis," according to the affidavit. The Daily News listed a number of Lowe's alleged repercussions, including penile scarring, loss of function, tissue damage, lost wages and embarrassment.

Karma Sutra Co.'s president, Marla Lee, condemned the lawsuit saying "this product has been offered for over 40 years without any incident of any kind." Lee said that the active ingredient in the gel, Benzocaine, is reportedly so safe that it is used in "children's teething products."

The Mood's owner, Stuart Schlaffman, told the Philadelphia Daily News that the "pleasure balm prolonging gel" has been removed from the shelves after reports of Lowe's alleged incident.
