Frank Ocean Gay, Posts S*x Toy on Instagram to Promote HIV Awareness Campaign? 'Innovation' Seeks Safe Pleasure, PHOTO Goes Viral

Over the weekend, R&B superstar Frank Ocean posted a rather "controversial" image on Instagram that soon went viral. The photo features Tenga, an innovative sex toy that seeks to provide safe" pleasure and masturbation." Rumors have it that the openly gay "Channel Orange" crooner posted the provocative pic in promotion of an HIV Awareness Campaign he's currently working with, although such talk still remains unconfirmed.

Ocean (25) recently posted on Instagram:

francistenenbaum: "innovation."

For those fans still unaware...

Tenga (Japanese: テンガ?) is a Japanese brand of masturbation aids. Masturbation aids (masturbators), personal lubricants, and other related products are sold under this brand. The company's masturbators have been noted for their design aesthetics unexpected for a sex toy, and have received an industrial design award.

Some fans think Ocean posting the image is totally cool - others, not so much...

(On July 4, 2012, Ocean published an open letter on his Tumblr blog writing about "unrequited feelings" he had for another young man when he was 19 years old - his first true love.He thanked the man for his influence and thanked his mother and friends for their support, claiming "I don't know what happens now, and that's alrite. I don't have any secrets I need kept anymore...I feel like a free man.")
