Sex shop scares away hair salon for children
A children's hair salon in southwestern Calgary is moving because a sex shop has opened up next door.
Beaners is packing up and moving next month after more than 15 years at 3408 Bow Trail S.W.
"We've lost quite a few customers because of our new neighbours," said manager Ashley Braun.
Last year's phone directory has 24 listings for sex-oriented shops in Calgary. This year's has six new listings, including Adult Source, right next to the salon.
Braun said her main concern is there isn't any tinting on the windows of the sex shop, whose products include sex toys, lingerie, DVDs and magazines.
"You can see right in and you can see the products that are available. It's just not suitable for the children," she said. "A lot of kids have been asking, 'What's that?' or 'Oh mommy, they have adult toys, Can we go look?'"
Staff at Adult Source wouldn't comment and wouldn't connect a CBC reporter with the owner of the store. A children's hair salon in southwestern Calgary is moving because a sex shop has opened up next door. ... more -
Japanese police mistake life-sized sex doll for murder victim
Fifteen police officers were dispatched to the scene after receiving a phone call about a "corpse" in an Izu City (Japan) forest.
There they found a "body" wrapped in plastic tightly bound around the neck, midriff and ankles, with hair protruding from one end. Police investigators felt it from outside but never actually looked inside since they were following procedures by leaving the concealed "body" untouched for the police pathologists.
Extra officers were sent out to interview potential witnesses while media, which had been covering quake related drills on the 85th anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake, began focusing on this development as a major crime story. Due to press deadlines, the gruesome report ended up making the evening edition of the local newspaper.
The "victim" in the meantime was in custody of police pathologists by mid-afternoon for further examination. Upon opening the wrapping and expecting to find a human corpse, they discovered the body was actually a "sophisticated" life-sized sex doll wearing a blouse and skirt.
Red-faced police officials apologized for the trouble they caused and closed the book on the "case". Initially, they thought they might have been the victim of a prank but upon further investigation of the doll, found that it had been "used" heavily. They determined the doll's owner did not want to dispose of it with the rest of the garbage and instead dumped it in the forest. To the amusement of the gathered reporters, the police spokesperson had a stern message for the doll's owner by stating that it was an irresponsible thing to do.

8 Sex toys you didn't know you had
"What did women do before vibrators were readily available? They did these common items perfect for keeping house and happy. Now we understand how housewives get their satisfied smile. After the jump, the hush-hush household tricks of the trade with 10 homemade sex toys you didn’t realize you owned.
1. Back Massager You can get a cheap-o back massager at any drug store, but we’re willing to bet nine out of 10 are really used on backsides. Bonus if you’ve got one with big handle!
2. Washing Machine/Dryer Two words: spin cycle. Like a good roll in the hay, you have to wait for the moment when it’s right. Hop on, get off, clean house.
3. Cell Phone on Vibrate There are pricey remote control toys, but you can also go the poor man’s route and simply use your cell phone. No awkward remote, just set your phone on vibrate, wrap it in saran wrap to protect it, affix it to your panties, and have your man give you a call. We’re pretty sure this is what the old AT&T slogan, “reach out and touch someone,” was really talking about.
4. Electric Tooth Brush Designed to get between hard to reach places, this vibe is tough on tartar, but gentle enough for clits. Plus, they’re often rechargeable so you won’t have to keep replacing batteries! Use the brushless side and feel the sweet scrubbing action.
5. Bath Tub Faucet Everyone talks about a hand-held massaging shower head, but it doesn’t have a thing on a plain old bathtub. Lie on your back, with your legs up against the wall so you form a human 90-degree angle. Turn the water on, keep it cool, and get wet!
6. Electric Razor Any electric razor worth its price in batteries can take care of your unwanted hair and your horniness.Gillette is onto our little sexy secret and has released a battery operated, disposable razor called the “Venus Vibrance Soothing Vibrations Razor for Women.” Mmm hmm, since when has a razor sounded so...sexy?
7. Tickle Me Elmo A lot of women get their start with self love by humping a pillow. This is similar, only the little cuddler vibrates!
8. Blanket/Throw/Quilt Lay on your back (naked, obvi), hold onto one end of the blanket with your feet and the other with your hands, and then rock your hips up and down as you rub the taut fabric between your legs. Presto!" "What did women do before vibrators were readily available? They did these common items perfect for keeping house and happy. Now... more -

Not my crotch
This perfectly ghastly combination of vibrator and shaver is called The Womaniser. "The magnificent Womaniser is not only smooth to the touch - it'll leave you smooth and strokable, too! This intimate shaver is hidden inside a single speed silicone massaging vibrator - the perfect combination for a night of orgasmic personal pleasure." Yeah for multi-tasking eh? After you shave yourself to make sure that your body is appropriately smooth, you can just flip this little baby around and get down with the self pleasure. Don't you just love the fact that even if you are masturbating you must make sure that your body is still smooth?

Women-only sex toys leave men feeling discriminated against
Swedish men are complaining after state-run pharmacies began to sell over-the-counter sex toys, which apparently discriminate against males.
One of the petitioners claimed that the pharmacy chain promoted a “misguided and untrue view of sexuality whereby a woman with a dildo is seen as liberated, strong and independent, while a man with a blow-up plastic vagina is viewed as disgusting and perverted."
Eva Fernvall, the chain's head of retailing, has responded by stressing that it was simply a matter of maintaining standards: “As I understand it, there are no products of good quality on the market for men,” she said. “Should there be such products specifically for men, then there is nothing stopping us from selling them.”
The men were exercising their rights under a 2005 amendment to the Equal Opportunities Act, which was supposed to right the balance in a society in which women were seen as winning more and more ground.

Missing Sex Toys Raise Concerns at Police Property Room
Three years after Houston police seized these and hundreds of other sex toys worth $50,000 from the Adult Video Megaplexxx, the devices may be missing from the department's property room.
The discovery came to light when a lawyer for the adult-entertainment shop sought to reclaim the 564 items that the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently declared legal to sell.
After initially telling attorney Richard Kuniansky the sex toys would be returned, Houston police then said they were destroyed.
"They said no problem you can send somebody by to pick them up, and then we get another call and it's 'Whoops, we don't have them,' " Kuniansky said.
Kuniansky said police told him they were destroyed, but he doubts that explanation.
"There is apparently no court order authorizing destruction of the property or any record of what happened to the property," he said.
A check of Harris County court files did not turn up a destruction order in any of the cases involving the store's employees.
The last time the products were seen by Adult Video Megaplexxx employees was in 2005, when they were carried away by vice officers.
They were to be locked in a property room as evidence. The charges against employees were dropped. And in February,a federal appeals court ruled that Texas' 35-year-old law banning the sale of sex toys was unconstitutional. Three years after Houston police seized these and hundreds of other sex toys worth $50,000 from the Adult Video Megaplexxx, the device... more -
Voice-activated vibrator, 'faster, slower or harder...'
Yes girls all you gotta do is shout!
According to the Sun, scientists have invented a vibrator that is set off by the sound of a voice, and responds to the classic, 'faster, slower or harder' commands. Sadly, there's no word on if it understands, 'No not there..."
And apparently lustful ladies can even personalise their own vibrators by programming nine functions with their own key words! Yes girls all you gotta do is shout! ... more -
Coming Soon: Your Own Personal Sex Machines
It's the ultimate revenge of the nerds as product developers use their big brains to create sex machines that kick pleasure into overdrive. In fact, the very nature of the sex "toy" is changing as a new generation of sex-positive engineers infiltrates the industry.
From the smooth, silent glide of the Monkey Rocker Tango to Le Chair's ability to put two people into a dozen compromising positions, the new products and prototypes unveiled at this week's Adult Novelty Expo straddle the line between toy (a passive, frivolous object) and machine (a substantial apparatus that inspires commitment and even emotional attachment).

UK to ban electric toothbrush 'sex toys'
Workers in the adult industry have long known that electric toothbrushes make excellent sex toys, but it is only now that the health risks of this shocking tide of self-abuse have been laid bare after we reported the results of a major new survey of British teenagers conducted by the independent market research company, Rabbits R Us, earlier this week.
Thankfully, our socially responsible Government is determined to nip this fashionable 'lovebrush' vice in the bud—or possibly the clitoris—as we discovered when we spoke to junior Health Minister, Geraldine Spottiswoode. Mrs Spottiswoode (44), a mother of two teenage girls who are themselves addicted to this dangerous habit, has tabled an early day motion in the House to restrict the sale of electric toothbrushes to women over forty.
"Why forty?" we asked. "The age of sexual consent in this country is sixteen."
"Because women over forty are basically past it and the ones who aren't are unlikely to get a thrill from shoving a tiny, vibrating toothbrush up their flaccid, furry front bottoms. I tried it twice and still haven't found either of the bloody things!"
"But what's to stop men buying toothbrushes for their teenage girlfriends?" we asked.
"Are you serious?" snorted the minister derisively. "What bloke in his right mind is going to buy his girlfriend something that outperforms his risible little todger and fits inside the smallest handbag?" Workers in the adult industry have long known that electric toothbrushes make excellent sex toys, but it is only now that the health r... more -

Mr. Big vibrator: you too can have sex with Carrie Bradshaw's on/off boy toy
Sex And The City fans can now enjoy all the pleasures that Mr. Big has to offer. To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Rabbit's cameo appearance on the show, Love Honey, the Manolo Blahnik of sex toys, are offering a limited edition version of the vibrator that turned Charlotte into a recluse.
Tall, dark and handsome, the new vibrator is fashioned after Carrie Bradshaw's on/off boyfriend Mr. Big. What's so special about Mr. Big you may ask. Well the manufacturers tell us that he has "has extra-long rabbit ears, dozens of gyrating pearls and easy push-button controls." Though the new Sex And The City film doesn't promise that Carrie and her man will live happily ever after, like the gentleman he is, Mr. Big always delivers a happy ending.

Sex toy pharmacy
If you need to pick up Aspirin, shampoo, Twizzlers and a vibrating dolphin, then look no further than Sweden’s state-owned pharmacies, as those crazy Swedes have managed to top themselves by selling sex toys at the Apoteket chain. Apparently, customer surveys revealed that Swedes thought of Apoteket as a natural retailer for sex-related pleasure devices. An Apoteket spokeswoman said in a statement, “We want to de-dramatize the use of sex help tools, and help people to a better sex life, with or without a partner.” A one-year sales trial will kick off at 50 Apoteket stores in June.

Recycle your sex toys!
If you're like me, you want to recycle everything, including old sex toys. Dan Savage has an excellent suggestion for those old used play things. Send them off to Kandiss Crone at WLBT 3 News in Jackson, Mississippi. She recently produced a story about an adult book store that continues to sell Dildos and other toys despite a law forbidding it. She posed as an undercover shopper, and then confronted the owner with cameras and all. The police were less interested in the "crime." Her greatest achievement was filling Jackson, Mississippi residents who use toys with shame and guilt. Great job Kandiss!
So if you have old sex toys, and I know you do, send them here:
