taken from a magazine i have just recently read....


[FONT=Geneva]when you next pop into town for a new pair of tights or a new handbag, you may be faced with a display of 'personal massagers' - and they are not designed to make your back feel better.

Thats because debenhams, the high-street department store, has started selling female sex toys.

things have changed dramatically since the days when barbas would descreetley ask their gentleman customers if they wanted 'something for the weekend'.

take the anne summers chain. once the 'fashion and passion' retailer was known for its girl only parties held behind closed doors in suburbia. now it has 120 stores in prime locations.

the company sells £110 million worth of lingerie and sex accessories - including 2 million vibrators - every year and 4000 parties are held every week....

and now there is a new kid on the block - hustlers hollywood, a chain of us stores owned by notorious porn king larry flint, who has just opened his first store in birmingham........

thats just half of the story....i couldnt be bothered to type it all... but i would just like to hear your views on wether this should be so blatantly advertised in a high street or not....


srry if this is wrong admin but i just thort i would type wat i see.... no.gif

When I was a kid about 5 or 6 in east Los Angeles, there was an adult theater called the "Pussycat Theater". We drove by it all the time going to and from home.

I had assumed it was a moviehouse dedicated to cat movies. As a cat lover, I had always asked my dad if we could go see a movie there... tongue.gif He was rather diplomatic about it and told me that we could not see movies there as it was closed for renovation. hmm.gif
