Here is an interesting link about what Amazon is selling. I didn’t relaize they sold this type of stuff. They can claim it’s a 3rd party but the point is they still are reaping the profits off of “Personal Toys”. Glad that I have not not bought anything from them in awhile.
God Bless and protect those in the Gulf area!

Amazon quietly cashes in onsex-toy market
Amazon, the online retailer with an increasingly broad range of products, has this summer been quietly pushing back the limits on how far it is prepared to go.
//
Under the heading of sex and sensuality, discreetly located under the health and personal care section of its US site, Amazon is offering more than 40,000 products, including over 9,000 vibrators and more than 5,500 “sex-enhancers”.
The items are being sold through Amazon under its increasingly important third-party retailer business, which accounts for more than one-quarter of the items it sells, and includes mainstream retailers such as Macy’s and Toys R Us.
Patty Smith, an Amazon spokeswoman, noted that some adult products had been sold by the retailer for more than two years. “It is just another of our selections for customers in all categories . . . whatever you want to buy, you would be able to find it on Amazon,” she said.
…
Amazon has not drawn attention to the expansion of its sex business, which went largely unnoticed until Mark Morford, a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, wrote a column this month praising the retailer for “merely folding the toys into their massive array of general offerings”.
“What a desperately needed notion for a sex-starved and deeply misinformed, orgasmically uncertain nation,” Mr Morford wrote.
