You do? not in any of the shops i've been in or catalogues i've seen! Where are you getting your information MrG?!
Hmm, I can see that. Mummy takes the kids down to Boots and the mischievous son grabs a vibrator and asks "Mummy, can I have one of those?".
hehe great...i've got quite a few advantage points saved up
Nah, I don't think it is a good idea. It doesn't take any more effort to walk into Ann Summers as it does to walk into Boots. Anyway, at my local shopping centre Ann Summers is directly opposite Boots, lol.
They can't have them openly on the shelves, IMHO. Even in Ann Summers they aren't openly on the shelves in the main bit of the store.
Yeah, they're in this little area with signs saying 'over 18s only' etc. It'd make shopping with my mum more interesting though... and perhaps slightly more uncomfortable, lol!
That I agree. If Boots does decide to sell them, where would the sex toys go?
But then, looking at boots, does beg the question where would they go? I mean it'd be nice if they were (probably bad example but like, you know how some people are really intimidated...) like condoms are sold. I mean some people are afraid of approaching all of those or find it really embarrassing but it's like there, subtley, but still displayed for all to see regardless and so you also don't feel like you have to go somewhere specially, ya know, make it seem seedy or something!! Although, cause I'm that kind of nature, I'd confidently stride into a section that was really obviously set aside for sex toys, although making the toys more accessible to a wider range of people would be made more difficult because not everyone is gonna be like that.
Hope that makes sense to someone!

Sorry, but i didnt sneeze
To be honest I don't think they should, because Boots is very much seen as a family store. You buy nappies there, shampoo, cards, make up etc, there is a chemist. Ok so maybe boots want to move with the times, but I don't think the public is ready for this yet. Don't move with the times if the times aren't moving kind of thing. They are becoming less taboo (you should hear the talk in the staffroom at work, for one thing!) but not enough to be sold in highstreet shops.
*breathes*
And they'd be right too.
Just like Ann Summers, in fact. Crass, vulgar, and not very good.
I'm not bothered either way about Ann Summers. It's there, deal with it. If you don't like it, don't go in there!
It's horrible cheap tat, IMHO.
If one wants to waste one's money in there instead of buying quality goods...
