So today during my normal internet surfing I found this. Yep, it's a Christian sex shop. I know, it's a little ironic. The name of the shop is Book 22, after Song of Solomon, the 22nd book of the Christian bible. For those who may not know, this is the raciest and sexiest book of the bible. And if you are familiar with just how to read this book, it's quite the work of erotica.
Anyhoo, the purpose of this little shop is to offer sex toys to people who might be morally opposed to porn or nude people. Which I think is a good thing. More orgasms in the world surely cannot hurt anything.
My point is that I am very glad to see this actually. I grew up in the Christian religion, and trust me when I say it is very sexually repressed. I know this might come as quite a surprise to you. But you must trust me on this one.
I know you must be wondering what exactly a Christian sex shop would sell. I know I was. Well, there are massage oils, lubes, candles, and the like. There are also cock rings and crochless panties. His and hers vibrating underwear. I was pleasantly surprised to see "aids" like vibrating bullets, including the little tongue one. I know, I know. Get to the good stuff right?
Ok. I'm getting there.
Yes, they actually do sell dildos. Nice, fancy vibrating ones too. The kinds with twirly goodness with nice clit hitters attached. Yep, they stock the good stuff. Pretty much the only stuff I didn't find are double dongs, strap-ons, or whips 'n chains type stuff. I figure all of that is probably because those lines of pleasure imply things the church is explicitly against. But, eh, can't have everything right?
Oh yes, and I forgot to mention one last thing. They were smart enough to know that many christians struggle with the issue of sexuality and especially sex toys or 'spicing up' their sex life. I mean, when was the last time you heard of a sermon on sex that wasn't teeming with negativity? To help with this issue, there is this. I actually think there is a pretty healthy view of sex presented here, outside of the whole guilt thing. You know what I mean, only sex in marriage, gays are bad, etc.
Ok, so. Just wanted to share what I found. Sex is good. Sex toys are great. Even the church agrees. Finally.
