BROOKLYN, N.Y. — In the p.c. enclave of hipster Brooklyn, N.Y., residents are hardly batting an eye over the opening of a new kind of sex shop.
The high-design Babeland shop, which sells itself as being "kid-friendly," doesn't exactly scream sex though.
Unlike the older sex shops, which are dark and dingy, the Babeland store has upbeat music, well-dressed saleswomen and infant changing tables — marketing itself as a fun place for couples to shop. It's part of a growing trend that has been spreading from Louisville to Los Angeles in an attempt to take the sleaze out of this part of the sex industry.
“If you walk into a mainstream sex store, you’ll probably be greeted with explicit imagery and a sort of artificial sexuality, like a woman with blonde hair with her head thrown back, something that’s meant to titillate in the moment,†said Babelands's owner Claire Cavanah.
This store, which officially opens its doors Sunday, is the fifth Babeland for Cavanah, who opened the first store in Seattle, Wash., with friend and business partner Rachel Venning in 1993. Since then, the two have opened shops in New York City and one in Los Angeles, which closed this year.

Those are high numbers. I'm surprised that 36% women have it. :(

This fits in nicely with Obama's plan to start teaching first graders about sex. :sarcasm:
Who in their right mind takes their children to a store to shop for porn flicks, dildo's and c*ck rings? I swear I am more disgusted every day at what kind of world my grandchildren will grow up in.

True. . .and you can comparison shop better online, because brick and mortar shops can just screw you (pun fully intended) on the prices.

Not to mention, it's embarrassing as hell walking out with a pre-filled blowup doll. :lmao:
