Red-Light Specials

now ,someone i know ,who works at wall mart told me that after they get their sex aid dept all set up,they have plans to install masturbation rooms ,similar to dressing rooms ,but equiped with comfortable adjustible bed couches ,and shelves around the walls with all the wares displayed thereon..they will charge by 5 minute segments for use of these rooms there will be male and female rooms. laater if the plan is a success they plan to offer attendants of either sex to assist the customer while they use the rooms. there of course will be an additional charge for this ,,although he said they may create a discount for roomuse depending on how much the customer spends on devices.,i asked if this isnt close to prostitution and he replied ,no, they consider it merchandising. the biggest obstacle he said will be the clean up of the room after each use and the lines that may form waiting to use the room. necesistating ,building additional rooms. there will be sinks,soap, and hot water,in the rooms and clean towels provided after each room use ..

What ever happened to self control self respect and morality? It seems anything goes as long as it is not a form of moral absolutes saying respect others and your self and control your urges.

There is good and bad in everything. There is also good and bad in sex of course. So as adults shouldn't we be intelligent enough to know the difference?? And responsible enough to know where this type of product should and shouldn't be sold?? No one is going take away your rights to be a pervert, just keep it out of family establishments like grocery stores! And yes...there are massagers in Wal-Mart but read the package you bunch of freaks they are being advertised to massage the back, sore muscles, and to sooth headaches. you can do whatever you want with them and with vegtables, but are they wrapped in sexually explicit packaging??? This product, the sex juice...keep it in the freak shops, and on line. When you go to a sex shop does it say "welcome kids"! No! It says you must be 18 to enter and they check your ID. Soooooo....Does this give a clue to any of you people trying to endorse the sales of sex products in the grocery store??

ahh duh if you have it in your home """The Kids""" already have access to it, sex education proves if you remove the mystique then you remove the curiousity.
our kids our making theses desisions all the time with or without our input. they they had condoms on the shelve for years and you still have to show them where they are.........lol

I curently work in an adult specialty retail shop and news like this makes our job easier but really cuts into our profits. What this article failed to state as it described the adult industry is that there are many adult retailers that are not dirty and sleezy and that a few such as my employer actually do things in a way that is safe, tasteful and respectful so that the experience is available to everyone not just men. This is definitely a sign that things are easin up but we have a long way to go before there is a revolution. Dear author, please does the industry a favor by stating that we actually carry specialty lubricants and other products that are of far greater quality than that offered by the mass retailers.

Obviously no one here has ever had sex for an extended period of time! Try having sex for a few hours with no lube, ouch!! As far as the laws in Alabama, let's just say, I am glad I don't live there!! Go lube!

I think it's hilarious how this upsets anyone. The article even explained how the packaging is very discreet and everything. Obviously items sold in WalMart and the like will not have obscene images on them. There is really no reason to be against this unless you're against condoms even being available at large retail stores.
People have sex, get over it. And, a vibrator provides safe sex and for some people it provides a better experience than a partner can alone.
So stop being so judgemental annoyinguisfun. Haha, now that I actually read your name, I can see it's pointless to talk to you anyway. Oh well.

interesting comments. the world can be divided (roughly) into 2 camps: those who want people to be controlled, and those who do not. no one on this forum who has objected to the sale/display/existence of personal sexual health products has done so on the grounds that he wishes to be protected from himself (from something he wants to do but knows he shouldn't;) rather, the objections are based on protecting other people from themselves -- a pathetic position (as it indicates an inablilty to focus on the most simple of self-preservation principle and also as a significant marker of several significant mental illnesses) yet sadly all too sucessful in legislation. In my copious spare time, I may provide a count of the control/non-control posts; some stats on this might be interesting to some of y'all too.

As an avid child molestor, I am thrilled at this turn of events, now there will be more willing and susceptible children for me to prey upon. It is easy to find the naive ones, just look for the ones whose parents are angry about anything sex related, hell churches are some of the best places to troll. Ever been to a Baptist convention? GOLD MINE!!! I swear if America keeps gettin more religious I'm gonna wind up in a heaven on earth here real soon :D Just let these people keep think some dead dude is gonna rise after 2000 years, greatest story ever told is right :D

I think this author is wrong to lump together vibrators and lubricants. So maybe women who want to buy vibrators should have to go online or by mail; some people get very upset over the topic of masturbation (remember the surgeon general who got fired for discussing it a few years ago?) However, vaginal dryness is a real medical condition and it is uncomfortable. Why shouldn't a woman be able to treat it,, whether she's planning to have sex or not??? This author needs to chill out a little.

I think Jerry Springer should have a show on this and then we could watch Oprah and see what she says to!! That should fill your empty day right up Mr. Oprah expert!!!! D#MB A#S

Why doesn't anything surprise me anymore?? Society wonders what's happening to our youth....well take a look at yourself!! Crap like this is what's happening.....the rise of STDs, the rise of teen and pre-teen pregnancy.....Society glamorizes sex enough as it is without adding a section for sex toys to retail stores. I have three daughters under the age of 10 and if I begin to see these types of items popping up at Wal-Mart, or Target, or any other store that I frequent, it will be the last visit I make. I'll take my money to more respectable businesses who have more value for family.

Product exposeure could lead to inquiries from children that could result in conversations with and education from parents that would be more informative and effective than the currently popular dysfunctional "Just say no" tactic. It could provide results of admitting to children WARNING--DIRTY PART COMING- HIDE, HIDE!!!! Children are a product of S.E.X . If we educate rather than deny they will stand a better chance of coping with todays life pressures.

As a father, I have a couple questions: One, would you like to expalin to your three year old what a vibrator is in the grocery store, or discover that your 12 year old daughter bought a vibrator from the local drug store on her way back from school?

For RADSAX, It is not the idea of being prudish or being "religous", but what is acceptable to this society. Are you willing to accept these concequences that we are putting out not only for ourselves, but the next generation as well without any type of guidance?

Another question for RADSAX,: What do you call "sexually liberated"? Should we go back to the Roman times where they had open public orgies? Or how about where incest and pedophia was not only accepted, but encouraged (whether the younger participant was willing or not)? Tell me where do you draw the line, or do you not want to draw a line at all? Remember where you draw the line, your chidren and grandchildren will folllow suit. This is not for religous or morality, but for your own conscience in thinking beyond yourself. Would you want your children to bear the brunt of your actions?
