Sex toy fire 🔥 NY Staten Island- Harry Torres had a bad afternoon








NYC man lights sex toys on fire, causing 3-alarm blaze that ripped through neighborhood: police

Harry Torres sparked the flames of passion at about 1 p.m. Wednesday in West Brighton and scorched his home, two neighboring houses and two cars on North Burgher Avenue, officials said.

It’s not clear why the 37-year-old lit the intimate aids ablaze — but his bungled boudoir BBQ prompted officials to hit him with a slew of charges, including arson.

“I started the fire,” Torres allegedly admitted to cops. “I was in the backyard at my house and I lit two sex toys on fire.”

..... the fire department was just trying to be diplomatic. The fact of the matter being,... the owner ran out of K-Y jelly and the sex toys bust into flames during a hot sex session.

I only somewhat joke. I find it more than a little disturbing. Not without jokes but still disturbing.

My wife grew up there, and there are funny stories I could tell about sex toys and Staten Island women, but won't.
