I hate getting into religious debates, especially about sex, but I just have to comment. For all the non reading bible people, it does NOT say that sex is bad. ONLY outside of marry and if any "Christian" says otherwise, well they are just idiots.
Quote from Bible:
"But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.

"Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. I say this as a concession, not as a command." (1 Corinthians 7:2-6, NIV)

So it's stated God wants married couples to have sex as often as they like. That's why he made sex feel the way it does. Its something special to be shared with your love one.

So, back to the topic on hand. If Wal-Mart wants to sell this lubricate, then why not! Let them. Their are couples out there who would benefit from this and they won't have to feel uncomfortable going into a sex store that has pictures of nude women everywhere. As long as the package is discreet who cares! And if you don't want your kids to see the discreet package avoid the lane. It's that simple! I have a 3yr old daughter and I walk by the condom section because 1) she's too young to know what that is 2) there are absolutely no obscene images on the boxes or lubricates themselves, if there were then obliviously I would not go to that aisle being the responsible parent that I am. It all starts with the parents. Due your job at home and you wouldn't have to worry about
kids making a baby at a young age.

Why is this such a big deal?

I have two young children and I have been a teacher for years. I 'know' kids. You can't shield them from everything. You have to be honest and open. If you aren't honest and open (but tasteful) when they are under 5 and asking a 'provocative' question, how can you expect them to come to you when they are teenagers or adults and have an issue or a problem? We can't expect our children to know how to confront problems when they have had their eyes covered for years.

Wal-Mart and other retail stores selling these products is nothing new. They have been for a long time. And I would like to point out that they are kept in their own area that can be avoided with children. I have a very inquisitive 4-year-old and have even walked (albeit, quickly) through this area with her. She has never even bothered to glance at these products.

Start respecting your children and teach them how to make their own decisions in life. Don't keep them in the dark until it's too late!

Pathetic that writers get paid to tell about things that are neither new or entertaining. Next they'll be telling us about tampons and old lady underwear..

Why devote four pages to something so normal? Could this be a ploy by Walmart to get Walmart free publicity? Dosen't Newsweek publish news. This is not something new and it is NOT news.

First of all, these stores have been selling things like KY for years and years and they are so "in your face" that you people didnt even know they were there! They arent putting these things on an end cap with a huge sale sign and a sample bottle, they are tucked away in the corner with the other female products, you have to go out of your way to walk by them with your children. After each one of my five children (yes five, with six on the way and yes with the same man ive been married to for years) I've had to buy lubricant in order to have sex after they were born. Thank goodness there are things like that available to make that easier on my body after having a baby. Or wait, does that make me dirty and I should grit my teeth and bear it for the pleasure of my husband? What century are we in?
Second, I am totally amazed at the fact that you people dont think you can distract your children and that you HAVE to tell them everything! Especially the people refering to their 3 yr olds shopping with them! You are the parent! Act like it! Either avoid the far corner that these products are in or distract them with something away from those items. I have yet to see a bottle of KY or even condoms with a giant picture of a penis on it and where does it say that when your kids ask about those items you HAVE to reply with " those are vibrators, women use them to stimulate their clitoris" Give me a break! Im sorry its not what the store have on their shelves that are making kids the way they are its the people that are raising them. Whats wrong with not giving your 5 year old details about how a baby is really made. As far as my kids are concerned mommy and daddy love each other and wanted to have another baby. Theres nothing wrong with little kids being little. And there is nothing wrong with explaining to kids what these things are, but tastefully.
What amazes me is how offended people get over these things. But you know whats not offensive? The giant sign of the half aborted mutilated baby that the protesters have on the side of the road in plain view in front of the abortion clinic! Is that ok for your kids to see? But Holy Crap don???t shop at Walmart, they might see KY!! Would you rather explain to them what the sign is or how a baby is made, and when they get older, how to prevent a baby or even worse, std's. Yes this countrys views are screwed up but not in a sexual deviate way.

With buses driving by daily. Would you rather explain to them what the sign is or how a baby is made, and when they get older, how to prevent a baby or even worse, std's. yes this countrys views are screwed up but not in a sexual deviate way.

What's the big deal with this? It's nothing new, doesn't Walmart already carry K-Y jelly? Not much of a difference to me.

Sheesh come on people, its not like they are putting dildos, butt plugs, vibes or those strange looking leather masks out for our kids to see. Kids are kids, they are curious about everything and if they arent commenting on one thing they are commenting on something else. Take the day my four year old decided to ask the Asian man in line ahead of us "Hey whats wrong with your eyes???" Talk about mortifying.
Sex is sex, if you want to use thing to enhance your experience I dont see anything wrong with it, that is your perogative. Heck some women have conditions where it is necessary to use products like this. Besides, what are you doing in the codom aisle with your kids to begin with? If it bothers you that much heres an idea, DONT GO DOWN THAT AISLE! Or if you do want to, dont go down it when you have your kids with you. Seems like a no brainer to me

Someone wrote: <i>Comment: I think it is about time every one to lighten up on this "sex is so dirty" routine. Sex is fantastic. If you're not enjoying it, then maybe you and your are doing something way wrong. Heck, I'm partial disabled as is my wife and we enjoy it. We can't do the "wild thang" anymore but it's still a lot of fun. Like I said, lighten up. Get your head out of the Bible, stop listening to preachers who have never gotten a BJ, and have some FUN!!!

<'i>


Have you ever heard of the Song of Solomon???? And I doubt preachers never had a BJ---Nothing in the Bible or Christianity condemmns sex. Who told you that??? What MIGHT be true is that the Bible condemns sex outside marriage and adultery. I have never heard Christians say sex is dirty .Betwerrn marrieds it is a gift from God with few specifics on how and what you do.

Having said that, you do have to be careful on how it gets presented to young people in places like Walmart.

OOPS I forgot to say one more thing.

If children knew more about sex, then predetors wouldn't have victims. The guy next door, the internet perv, and the Catholic Priest would all have to find some other way to "get off".

WITH EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON IN THE WORLD, WHY SHOULD WE CARE IF WAL-MART SELLS A TUBE OF LUBRICANT. THE TELEVISION MEDIA IS WHO REALLY NEEDS TO PULL BACK AND SMELL THE ROSES. I SAY LET WAL-MART SELL IT. THE MEDIA IS WHO WE SHOULD GET RID OF. THE ONLY ONE I CAN STAND IS LOU DOBBS. GO WAL-MART/

Thank you Squinting Howard Beale for the compliment and the correction. It's also George Carlin, I typed that wrong.

To westernplanes: The bible isnt the problem, read the first chapter. There is so much begetting and women being begotten, and bigomy that unless you KNEW you were reading the bible, it could be a LONG opening to an orgy novel.
