Valentine's day coming up.

We have tv ads for Ann Summers at 9pm.

We have LoveHoney ads pushing the "blindfold, whips and delicious pain" approach to "loving relationships"

Great.

It's the only logical conclusion to find, isn't it ?

And now, as OP notes, S&M/bondage/pain = love

By the way, Valentine's day generally mean a lot of lingerie ads. VA is about love, isn't it? Why are female lingerie = love?

This is the first year I have seen ads for sex aids and bondage stuff linked to the "romance" of Valentine's day.

Significant? I think so.

blindfold, whips and delicious pain
I haven't seen the ads. I assume it's not about men being on the receiving end of that, it almost never is.

Hmmm
I wonder if this is partly popular to market to women because women aren't allowed delicious pleasure. Even chocolate is sinful (as described in ads etc)

So?

9 pm is the watershed. So can't really see the problem. Mind, haven't seen the add as I hardly ever watch anything on a channel with advertising.

As for LoveHoney, they're a specialist sex toy retailer, and have had whips and blindfolds in their product portfolio long before the shite book was published.

Some people enjoy whips and blindfold and have long before the shite book was published. As long as it's consenting adults, there's nothing wrong with people doing it.
