Boots may sell sex toys
 

Whatever next? :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Ann Summers do and they're not hidden away from the high street so why shouldn't other shops? They do have to get some sort of license dont they?

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Blokey on the radio this morning said the toys in question are 'personal massagers' - that's the polite name for a vibrator isn't it? :erm:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Yes it is.

I have seen these in the betterbuys catalogue before too.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Radio4? I listened to that as well :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Yup, not the kind of distraction you need while trying to join the M1 southbound at 8.30 in the morning ... :disturbd:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Radio 4 or a vibrator?

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Do most Radio 4 listeners still remember was sex is? ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Not me...

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

The sell them in Selfridges........ or so i've been told ;)
Why not Boots? :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I can't remember what sex is, does that mean I _have_ to listen to Radio 4? - is it the law?

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Wasnt there an issue with Anne Summers not being able to advertise for staff in job centres because they sold sex toys?
I wonder if the same will happen to boots!

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Ummmmmm......

A thread about sex toy's posted by Ramrod......... Connection? ;)

Just kidding......... Honest :)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

:p:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

do you think he will stop posting if someone takes his batteries out?

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

So does this mean the chain will now be known as (Kinky) Boots?

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

The Ann Summers chain...... shops not bondage :p: won the legal right to advertise in Job Centres http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/2999892.stm last year......

and i see that Selfridges is mentioned in that news story...... which is probably where i read about it in the first place ;) :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

:LOL: Nice one

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

As far as I know you need a license to sell pornagraphic material (such as mags and video/dvd's) but not 'toys'

A shop in Biggleswade near us had this problem recently. They sell loads of 'toys' and apparenly don't need a license as they don't sell the vids.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Many ordinary highstreet shops have been selling sex toys since the 60's. They were called Spin Dryers.
:D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Hoovers........... ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

and then along came Dyson for the guys . . . . see the advert:D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Ouch

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

and for the cheaper option...... the stolen on a drunken night traffic cone...... and for those who find it hard to leave work behind..... the stapler.... :erm:

The mind boggles

...... and the rest of the body's got to HURT!!! :eek: ;)



I second that ouch with a Oooooooooooowwww!! :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Better refrain from the obvious "Puss in Boots" play on words then ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Well............ Boots already sells....... PetalCleanseâââ‚à ‚¬Ã…¾Ã‚¢ for Cats...... helps control allergens that come from the saliva glands and urine of cats, rabbits and other small fury pets..........

Looks like that might help to sanitize most secretions :angel:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Incog tries hard to think of summat she needs to look for in Boots tomorrow. ;)


Where is Nikko?I would have thought he'd be all over this thread.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

1) Oi! Boots! Get off my territory...!!! :mad:

2) Nope. You only need a licence if you're selling explicit magazines or R18 classified videos.

3) Yep.

4) Selfridges in London did experiment with a franchise retailer selling sex toys and lingerie etc last year, I'm not sure if it's still going.

4a) "so I've been told"...? Hmm...!! ;)

5) Yep. They took it to court and won the case.

Of course if you want to buy your toys from an Affordable supplier...! :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

@Graham
Will the team not let you put an advert at the top of this thread?
We have a link to the Amazon shop, why don't you set one up for your shop as well :D ( not for me mind you :shocked: )

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

No, they won't! It's called 'Spam' ;)

But if he sought permission first.....

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

It broke :eek: ........ at an inopportune moment :LOL: Would say cheap rubbish but it was one of the most expensive pieces of rubbish i've ever bought ;) Was i going to take it back and tell them i wanted a refund?
Yeah.......... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!! :D
Perhaps the lesson to be learnt is..... if you want a massage..... get someone else to do it :angel:



Am sure graham will post himself about it, as he has done many times before but........ he has a link to his site on his profile ;)
Not for you, of course Swoop :naughty: :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Russ........ you must be so proud!!

The Sun headline for its version of the story today is ....... Kinky Boots?

If you ever get tired working where you are now.... looks like there may be an opening for a man of your talents elsewhere ;) :D



NB: and i'm well aware of the innuendo in the last sentence......... just LEAVE IT!!! :p:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Belittled by an neurotic italian woman.....now that's shaming :cry:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Your vitriolic castigation has me quivering in my boots......... my kinky boots no less ;) :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Why not? You're entitled to it, they're probably just relying on you not complaining to boost their profits by selling tat.

If you want a new one, drop me a PM!

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Of course not...

"It's for a friend!" :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Anyone see Johnny Knoxville do that very thing on the Jackass film??? :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Well.......... it might have died under duress..... and i say might ;) So the entitlement issue is debatable :D It was almost 2 years ago anyway :)

What was this thread about again? :confused:

Oh yes...... Boots selling sex toys...... or will they be called marital aids?...... aids for personal growth? powertoys for seXeduP professionals ? ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Stress relievers?They will possibly be in the relaxation and aromotherapy section.

Somehow thinking of the Boots in our local High Street I'm wondering what some of the vast number of Senior Citizens who seem to live there will make of it. :D The thought of queueing up in front of someone getting corn plasters is a trifle daunting surely? :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I suppose it really depends on where they're intending to put the corn plaster :angel: ;)


Stress relievers? I LIKE that one :D All that pent up frustration needs to be released somehow or it can lead to various other ailments ;)

And then when your eye sight starts to fail..... you can go to their ophthalmic counter :D

Mmmmm..... personally i'd rather buy something of that nature in a place where the person behind me is likely to have something more obscene than a loofer.... and yes, i'm sure they can be obscene too, if you try hard enough :D

It will be interesting to see what the sales figures are like......... and if M&S follows suit to boost their failing sales prior to xmas....

M&S........ change the letters round and a wealth of marketing opportunities come to mind :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Surely that would be the male version? ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I'm all for equality daniel :D Have to admit though...... there are more products available for women :dozey:

APPARENTLY!! ;)

Perhaps men are less sophisticated when it comes to this type of extra curricular activity..... but then judging by American Pie i'm not surprised :D
It could be that women are more difficult to please...... could be??? :LOL:
Mmmmmm....... I doubt that Boots will delve into the male product market...... society seems to have the view that sexual products directed at men are more pornographic and sleazy whereas those for women are seen as less offensive.... not porn but erotica.....
Bit like lesbianism :shrug:

is it my imagination? Don't think so.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Men have always been dealt the short end of the stick... :erm: No, wait, forget I said that :dunce: :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Ooohhhh........... so many responses....... and so many ways to get banned :D

But..... as far as men always being dealt the short end of the stick is concerned....... we're back to graham's site!! ;) :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Not if their queuing up to buy Anusol though:p:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I guess it just isn't in me to stand in a queue with a.....errr.... sex toy in hand.I think that may just be the problem.In the appropriate shop where everyone else is of a like mind maybe.But in a place that sells everything from hot water bottles to toenail clippers to errrr..surgical supports and not everyone is of the same mind,I think Boots may have a problem. :erm:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Will they sell them for men though, or just women? Methinks that it'll be like lesbians - more acceptable for a woman to be sexually deviant because, well, what do you expect? Whereas men - coooooooooo no.

Sigh :rolleyes:

[edit] Shop assistants seem to be more embarrassed than customers. The first time I bought a copy of the Gay Times the woman in Waterstones quickly flipped it over so it was face down on the counter, then hastily shoved it in a carrier bag :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Oh good I can get presents for my dates from Boots now!

Heres one of my recent funny stories, not trying to hijack the thread but just sharing it.

I enchanged a few very pleasant emails with a female I had never met, after I was sure she was not a bunny boiler I gave her my home phone number as we had not yet spoken. She phoned me and I was quite suprised, she had consumed two halfs of lager and a bottle of wine. She was not the same shy women who had exchanged those tame emails.

She starte telling me that she was looking for a man because she kept wearing the batteries out in her toys, I agreed to meet her for a meal one night, and I thoughtfully bought her a present, wrapped them up and placed them in a nice gift bag.

She was very embarassed about her drunken phone call, and was even more embarassed when she unwrapped the batteries! :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Anyway I think it's just as important that the space between ones ears is regarded as part of the equation as much as any sex toy.Imagination has a very powerful effect as well.Can't buy that in any shop I'm afraid. :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Ahh but I bet that Grahams shop could help with the imagination :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

im going to complain that children are going to be traumatised and others will be influenced by these 'objects of desire and pleasure' ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Says the guy in the corner with the nurses uniform (again) :erm: ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I was going to ask how you can be influenced by a sex toy. "Look Mabel - a strap on. Buy one so you can give your Bert one tonight" :erm: Traumatised children? Well you do have to be careful with the squirting ones - nothing worse than yoghurt in your eye. I hear. Objects of desire? Well the rainbow coloured ones are nice to look at I suppose.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

see!!! i was influenced!!! it wasent my fault! i was harrassed in to it ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

How can you be harrassed into a nurse's uniform? :erm: These CF Meets are strange events from the sounds of it :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I see Boots are advertising a '3 for the price of 2' offer.

You could get a sex toy, a music CD, and decongestant tablets.

"Could I have a Dildo, a Dido, and packet of DoDo?"

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

oh come on, i was in ann summers, bopdude influenced me, they corrupted poor innocent me :( ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Poor innocent Kronas, I'm sure you were dragged in there kicking and screaming :erm:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

well yes i was......actually dragged..... :D :erm:

thats a lie i waltzed in ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

There is a range of toys designed by women for women that are not "anatomical". They're come in tasteful packaging and are made in gentle colours with smooth curves and lines, so unless you knew what they are you'd have a hard time guessing.

I've got to get around to finishing off updating my site to work with the shopping cart...!

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Read, "not shaped like a penis" :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

:rofl:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

4 posts later.......


Sounds like we're on the same wave length..........

See you in the Boots queue with our carrier bags clutched tightly to our chests :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I thought you had to hold them somewhere else????????? :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Well i have to admit knowing a few people that should hold them tighly over their heads...... but that's off topic since i'm talking about the carrier bags :angel: ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

OK OK I'm hoping this isn't down to me getting on a bit, but what the dickens are you lot babbling on about????? :spin:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I buy my condoms and lube online - bulk quantities. Much cheaper than the shops. Not that I need bulk quantities - 50 will last me a lifetime :D As for sex toys, well I buy those online too, but I rather relish the prospect of embarrassing some 16 year old lad on a Saturday morning as I slap my Thrill Seeker IV on his counter in Boots :D Not to mention the old dears buying stockings and incontinence pads.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I think Marina is referring to sexual kicks from oxygen deprivation, though she may just want to suffocate a few people :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

That's the Mazz.....erm, Marina we all know and love :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I'm 7 years older than you russ :eek: So it can't be age...... must be something else :naughty: ;)


Both......... but i'd only enjoy doing the one...... will leave it to you to decide which it is :angel: :D


But.......

call me Mazz one more time and you won't have to guess :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I'm 30, not 32???

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

and i'm 37....... :)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Ahh! My bad!!

Anyway, back to the battery-powered topic.......

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Good to see you picking up the Vibes, Russ......... :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Oi! Only the Nuggmeister is allowed awful puns like that!! :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Well, yes, exactly.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Got a link? ;) :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Yes, but I'm going to put it in the "Computers and IT" forum because I want to get some feedback on the new site from people using other browsers (and I don't want to get accused of spamming), so look for a thread called "Request for site beta testers"

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I'll keep an eye out for it :tu: :)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Look what you miss when you don't touch the 'puter for a day and a half.

I see Nikko appeared at last.Post #56 is most definitely worth a rep. :D

Anyway I think that Boots are going to have to approach the whole issue with some thought and care.A sort of closed off shop within a shop probably or they will lose some customers.

Incog. :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I rather thought that was the whole point. :erm:

I can find the most unlike penis shaped ones anywhere and buy them without any embarrassment.But for the purposes of which we are talking they are....not what is required. ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

The idea is that women don't need men - so why have your toys shaped like bits of men? It's the ultimate rejection of men.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

And I thought we were meant to be the sexist ones :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Well Greencreeper IS a man ;) So what's your point? :LOL:

Anatomically male shaped toys or not......... i'm not bothered as long as they do what they're supposed to do :shrug:

Without breaking!!!! :afire: :p:

The shape and how it's used to achieve....... happiness *family forum family forum* ......... is all down to the individual :shrug: Political ideals aren't part of the equation for me :)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Oh the insult. Gay man, if you don't mind - there's a lot of differences. For example, women feel safe with me :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Only the ones that don't know you :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

ooOOoooohh, hark at her - I thought we were all the same on the inside ;) :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

I think you mean the outside :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

oh dont i know it, my mate gets away with alot of things, i dare not do them, i think the six inch heels may be dug in to my lower extremities if i did some of the things he does, damn you gay people :p:

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Well at the moment you're going to have to look in "Promote your own website" in the "Internet" forum for some reason.

I've asked for the thread to be moved, but not had a response yet.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Err, it's more that the male shaped ones don't work particularly well for women which is why, for instance, the "Rabbit" style have become so popular because they put the stimulation in the right place.

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Graham, the personification of tactful :p:

Mind you, most of the men folk of CF will now be wondering, as never before, if they've been doing it wrong all these years. Maybe the stuffing a chicken approach isn't the height of pleasure for women after all :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Dunno, my wife has always seemed happy enough when I've made dinner...

That is what you mean by stuffing the chicken, isn't it?
:dunce: :D

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Stuff the chicken?

Try stuff,cook and serve chicken dinner with plenty of wine,no kids or pets,foot massage and a listening ear, and that's only the pre-foreplay.

Then comes the real foreplay.You do know what foreplay is don't you? :erm:

Though in mr love monkeys defence I'd assume it's merely a case of a long forgotten art in deference to his status as newish dad. ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Chav Foreplay: You awake?

Australian Foreplay: Brace yerself, Sheila!

;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Sounds more like two ply time to me. ;)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Foreplay! - that's what got me into this bloody situation in the first place! :)

(not that I'd change it... :) )

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Well, if she's anything like Mrs Nug, the stimulation will be in the wallet area and result in a lot more handbags!

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

You must remember when you were younger. Men get it drummed into their heads that size matters, so they assume the best sex is where they try and push it as far as it'll go and as hard as they can, like stuffing a chicken. Try and gain a vital few mms. Only afterwards the find out the sides matter too :)

Re: Boots may sell sex toys
 

Well it's good to know that you now realise the chicken needs constant basting as well as stuffing ;)

but back to Boots and new toys....... wouldn't making these aids more accessable, as in having them in high st stores and perhaps less stigmatised, make the foreplay time more interesting? perhaps less labour intensive? well granted not for Mr Love_Monkey :D and perhaps more fun and less run of the mill? :shrug:

As an aside........ i had a parcel delivered at work today and it had to be signed for, my colleague signed for it and i told her that i hadn't had it sent to my home address and i'd explain later (too long a story).... at which the Parcel Force chap piped up with...... "Oooh did you order something from Boots then? :naughty: "

:rolleyes:

i said "No......... Ann Summers" but looks like Boots certainly has the publicity if nothing else :)


NB. My parcel wasn't really from Ann Summers...... but it shut him up.
