I agree that “Christian” anything is just a marketing ploy. Unless the Christian company or home business is actually manufacturing the toys themselves, these toys are probably manufactured by companies who also sell to pornographic sites and stores, so your money is possibly indirectly helping this industry out.
But as for Christians using sex toys, why not? Many women have a very hard time focusing and relaxing, especially when they are raising babies and young children. A sex toy can help a woman focus on her husband and the sexual act that they are about to enjoy instead of thinking about her To Do list or worrying about the toddler asleep in the next room.
As far as I know, these things are not forbidden between husbands and wives as long as their use is part of foreplay that leads to a complete sexual union that is open to life.
The better, more legitamate Christian sites advertising toys will not use live models for clothing, or explicit pics and such.
They are geared toward couples looking for their products that don’t want the porn aspect of the market. There are many well presented sites out there in this genre.
I agree with the poster above, sex can be both fun and unitive.
Toys, used PROPERLY, can enhance that. Besides, don’t you think feathers, fur and other ‘natural’ items have been used this way for centuries? This is just a bit more modern.
To each their own, provided the focus and intent are pure.
I agree with much of what is in the two posts. I do not know what your daughter was specifically noting and I do not know what you saw in your Google search, but there is noting wrong with a married couple using “toys” in conjunction with unitive procreative marital relations.
There are Christian websites that present such devices free from problematic materials that often accompany non-Christian sites that have similar things available. That is, the sites of which I am aware sell these products but not porn and do not use any live models so that they are not pornographic in and of themselves.
Are you a prude? I don’t know. Webster’s tells me that a prude is
a person who is excessively or priggishly attentive to propriety or oversensitive to slight breaches of decorum
prude."
Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster, 2002.
Does that describe you? It is not for me to judge. I have been called a prude by many and a pervert by others so there is certainly no popular consensus regarding me. But, I think I am “normal.” Whatever that may mean.
