what will they sell next?
the girlfriend showed me this article yesterday:
As quietly as a peeping Tom, Amazon.com has amassed quite a collection of sex toys in its Health & Personal Care store.That's right -- they've got vibrators, lube, leather harnesses ... 38,990 items to be exact, contained within the Sex & Sexuality subcategory.
Most, if not all, of those seem to be listed by third-party sellers, though the magnitude of Amazon's offerings made a complete check rather cumbersome. And Amazon never advertised this one in a press release
the rest of the article is here.
hmmmm....so i looked. did a little comparison shopping. amazon can beat the prices of most of the online toy stores, but i'm not so sure i like the idea of buying my next, ahem, sensual aid, from them. this is taking one stop shopping a bit too far.
besides, i prefer going to a specific, sex positive, woman centered kind of place to browse and get recommendations. sigh...will this put places like good vibrations and toys in babeland out of business? i hope not.
so i say "support your independent, sex-positive, non-women objectifying establishment!" amazon has enough money!
