Anyone else miss when there weren't sex toys on display behind the Walgreens counter?

Maybe I'm just getting old and crochety but this just grinds my gears.



Butt plugs, barely obscured phallic fakeries, with not at all subtle names, right there next to the hair trimmers and socks.

I mean I'm not a prude but people have their kids with them in stores like this. It's just as bad in Walmart, next to the adult diapers and tampons.

It used to be you had to go to a respectable seedy porn store, like a normal person, if you wanted a big floppy rubber dick, or nipple clamps or whatever. And now they have them 12 feet from the Cheerios with the prize inside.

It just irks me. Society was better when stuff like this was at LEAST behind a curtain.





Things were better, more pure, when you had to pay a crusty hobo to buy you a dirty magazine and a 6 pack of tall boys, and your maiden aunt had to order her dildos out the back of a male-order catalog.

There's a lot to be said for keeping some things hidden behind the counter.


ETA: it's like dirty jokes. In the right context and company, they are fantastic.

In front of a kindergarten class, they are a felony.
