KY that is. the mega-marts and mega-grocers are starting to carry astroglide, too.

and vibrators

and soft-core porn

this long long newsweek article/op-ed piece highlights some of the sexual aids and accoutremonts available at some surprising places. perhaps our society isn't as prudish as we think.


i can only comment on what i see but i've noticed warming gels and scented oils become available in just the last few years in our small-sized, small-town grocery. the mechanical "toothbrushes" and "exfoliators" were a sex-tool in flimsy disguise from the beginning - there aren't too many women or men out there who wouldn't know exactly what to do with one - but now i see there are "personal massagers" as well. more obvious? and the condom varieties went from lubed with sperm killer or not, to downright naughty.

thoughts?

what's it like on the shelves in places besides the US? are these sorts of things available normally? have they always been?
