Anyone who's ever been anywhere near Tampa could tell you this. More suburban sex shops than anywhere I've ever seen.
 
2006-11-21 02:58:24 PM
Excellent headline.
 
2006-11-21 03:31:32 PM
So, where do I go to get a chalupa?
 
2006-11-21 03:31:40 PM
i see what you did there, subby

good one :)

Mid-Missouri (I-70) has the most sex shops i've ever seen in an 80 mile stretch. at least they did a few years ago.

I, for one, welcome our suburban sex shops.

This will make it easier for me to get my jerk on.
 
2006-11-21 03:32:14 PM
headline FTW!
 
2006-11-21 03:32:17 PM
As opposed to... child sex shops?

/still have to go into the city for that, I guess

Screw leaving the house for visual aides & toys.

Can someone please remind me why we have the internet?


/suburbia is more scary than a shady sex shop
//everybody should get aides!

What? No reference to the headlined "suburban strip malls" yet ?
Farkers are slipping!
 
2006-11-21 03:34:40 PM
obvious tag got the day off or what?

There's been sex shops in the suburbs for a long time now...
 
2006-11-21 03:36:09 PM
tee hee hee! orgasms.

don't ever search for 'rubber fist' at work.

Adult Sex Shops...

is there another kind?
 
2006-11-21 03:37:55 PM
What's the point if they don't offer test drives?

/Needs to buy the GF more batteries
 
2006-11-21 03:38:02 PM
Wait, you mean people have sex in the suburbs? P'shaw, I'm not buying it. Not for one cotton-pickin' second.

Maybe I'm naiive, but:

We have this sex toy shop in our (Baltimore) area, which ran commercials near the end of 2005 where various toys and videos would slowly fall into a bag while a voice described the store's wares and location. This is all well and good.

But about halfway through, a rubber ducky fell into the bag. Why?

Submitter is teh winner.

Another tip: Don't search for Hairy Potter either - Harry is OK though.

2006-11-21 03:40:28 PM
The article was no big deal. What's scary is this:

www.startribune.com

This is the face of the company, to show that it's woman-friendly. I should think they ought to use a woman to demonstrate this.
 
2006-11-21 03:41:23 PM
This is awesome. Can we move some of the payday loan operations and homeless shelters out to the burbs as well? It seems unfair that we city-dwellers get to keep them all to ourselves.

Didn't know Rick Romero was a Farker.

Ouch.

We have "Lovers Lane" all over the place. There's one right below our favorite chinese place so we'll usually stop in to browse or buy stuff.

Adman - payday loans are in teh suburbs too. Just b/c they lease a Jaguar doesn't mean they can afford to drive it.

Yes, Mistress.

Good show, subby

Sex shops are all fine and dandy, however most of them are riddled with creepy people galore.

We have one here locally that's not that bad. The shopping area is wide open, well lit, and things are always clearly marked and on display.

They will at your request open packaging so that you can see the product before purchase most of the time as well.

The one thing they do tell me however is that you want to avoid the backroom since it's mostly just gay men back there. Not that there is anything wrong with that mind you, but if the wife and I wanna get frisky ina public place, that is apparently not a good location.

See, this is what happens when the cut-and-runner-gay-agenda-baby-killer crew takes the House and Senate!

/Joking. Actually quite pleased about this.

I always wondered what Linda Ronstadt was up to these days.
 
2006-11-21 03:46:11 PM
OH! And Lover's Lane employes chicks. And they know about their products. My gf wanted this one dildo but she didn't like it's color...it was a black cock. So she asked the girl for a white one. The girl said that model's skin "STINKS LIKE shiat" and recommended a few others she liked better.

Since I'm obviously the one who gets stuck buying this stuff, I appreciated her help. If i dropped $50 on a dildo only to have my gf thumb her nose at it, I'd have to smack a biatch.
 
2006-11-21 03:48:05 PM
YesMissLexieCan someone please remind me why we have the internet?

Since studies found hat "1% of the Intrnet is dedicated to porn" people must've realized that we need more sex shops to make up for that 1%

Ba-bark bark-a woof bark?

She brings homely home.

...spare personal effects stored in the hallways.

I shudder to think.

'Course, that doesn't mean I won't go take a peek.

vanity: Adman - payday loans are in teh suburbs too. Just b/c they lease a Jaguar doesn't mean they can afford to drive it.


And the homeless shelters? I guess they'll have to open those after the McMansion bubble pops.
 
2006-11-21 03:49:28 PM
That's kind of a weird business to be passed on to the next generation. How do you tell your kid that when they get older you want them to take over the family dildo shop?
 
2006-11-21 03:50:30 PM
vanity

I imagine any dildo within 100 feet of you is eventually going to stink like shiat.


\sorry couldn't help myself.
 
2006-11-21 03:50:36 PM
I was all for vanity and his evolved sense of sex until I hit his last sentence.

Right.
 
2006-11-21 03:51:04 PM
Yes, Lover's Lane employees know their stuff! And i mean that!

$50 is cheap! We hit "The Red Door" here in Charlotte and I dropped $90 on some mechanical monstrosity that my wife wanted. I tried to use it, but you need training to handle it (I felt like a monkey trying to use a lightsaber). Some of the other items were WELL over $100. I think I'd find the same thing online for $45 - $50 if I looked, but that's a habit I can't afford to acquire...

Have you used it more than once? We have about 13 various toys, most of which were used once. MAYBE twice. It always sounds like an awesome time in theory, and you're so excited to go home and get at it....but when the second time comes around to use it it's just like "MEH, we'll leave it under the bed"
 
2006-11-21 04:05:14 PM
That's not an issue at my house. OVER-use is a bigger concern....
 
2006-11-21 04:05:32 PM
GIGGITY!!
i for one appreciate the head shops becoming more popular in the burbs...now when i break a pipe i dont have to drive over to the next county! yay! oh yeah and the toys are fun too

/couples who play together...have more freaky sex! WUT WUT!
//yay sex!

I concur... however it's not like the male toys are cheap. The shop here in town gives a discount to females on Sundays and Mondays on all product.. 20% significant amount when your talking stuff that can cost well over 100 dollars.

Something every toy box should have however is at least four things.

Small flared, textured but plugg with mini egg insertion
Wireless soft gel rabbit vibe
Flexible waterproof egg vibe wand
And a fleshlight (in whatever insert you feel comfortable with)

Those four things will keep the two of you very very happy for quite some time.

/ohh yea and stock up on water based lube.. I rocommend this stuff if you can find it. i4.photobucket.com

I see no reason to deprive the homeless of the "joy" of commuting to work in the city.
 
2006-11-21 04:16:52 PM
I wanted a fleshlight and built one online. I was APPALLED to see they cost over $60.
