Honest to Betsy...

Where is it written down that you -- yeah, you -- have the inalienable right to never be offended by anything, anywhere?

Also? Where did the notion that the whole world must be child-safe, and that "adult activities" are some kind of scary deviation. The last time I looked, the world wasn't being run by children -- No; allow me to rephrase: the world wasn't being run by innocents. My point, however, stands.

Depends on what kind of sex toy.

S/M or bondage, no; not for sale to under 18s. Solo items, certainly; with little books of instructions supplied upon request. The Vermont Country Store offers some intriguing devices which can be sent US Mail.

You've never been in a Spenser's then? You are the person [livejournal.com profile] laurahcory1 was looking for!

No, never. I live in Berkeley. We have Good Vibrations; I get the Vermont Country Store Catalogue. What is a Spenser's? It's begining to sound like a joke store. Do they stock fake vomit? Groucho glasses?

There you go. They're usually found in malls. Back in my childhood, during the Age of Paper, they had a catalog, featuring much of the same stuff that they carry in their stores -- penis-soap-on-a-rope and other high-class goods, along with the fart pillows mentioned elsewhere in this thread -- which were mailed into households where *gasp* innocent children might, and very often did, pick up the mail from the box.
