You can call Madonna disgusting, but shooting lasers from vaginas is a revelation. Sydney Summers, Metro's sex columnist, writes about the pop icon's latest artistic endeavor.
On June 10, 2026, a friend sent a text with the words 'laser vaginas' and a link to Madonna's 10-minute musical film featuring songs from her new album Confessions II. Summers clicked immediately.
The video shows about 10 people wearing very little, posing acrobatically, with thin green lasers shooting from their vulvas. Some lasers even came from further south. Summers describes it as 'marvellous, beautiful, and wonderfully predictable from the sexually adventurous queen of pop.'
Despite the artistry, some on X called it 'embarrassing and weird.' But Summers argues there's nothing wrong with laser vaginas or the rest of the short film, which includes a toilet scene, a simulated sex act with Gwendoline Christie looking on, and a dance with Benedict Cumberbatch. Appearances by Sabrina Carpenter, Kate Moss, Richard E Grant, Odessa A'Zion, and Julia Garner as young Madonna add to the spectacle.
Summers believes that if you can't handle it, something is wrong with you. She advocates liberation at any age, noting that critics often cite Madonna's age of 67 as a reason to retire from sexual expression. But Madonna has always defied expectations.
After a long wait since Madame X (2019), which received mixed reviews, Madonna has returned. Summers acknowledges the last album was a 'trying-too-hard mess' but insists Madonna is beyond critique. The criticism, mostly from men, feels like an attack on confident femininity and women embracing their sexuality.
Madonna's legacy includes hits like Like a Virgin that changed how women represent desire. Now at 67, she continues to redefine womanhood, including laser pointers for vaginas. Summers celebrates her return as a ray of light illuminating conversations about bodily autonomy.
