You can literally buy Lube in our co-op

ReluctantCourier · 04/10/2022 22:11

It says over 100 ppl are looking at them no doubt due to this link! It’ll be festooned with anal beads in store now by Xmas, driven by the algorithm

Blossomtoes · 04/10/2022 22:14

We recommend using a toy-friendly lube and pulling the beads out at the point of climax.

Argos sell sex toys??? 🤯

A friend bought a washing machine from Argos that gave a wonderful sensation because it vibrated so much!

Getreallovey · 04/10/2022 22:22

Really ? Get a grip

VestaTilley · 04/10/2022 22:24

I agree with you, OP, but on here we usually get told we’re worrying about nothing.

It’s not about the beads per se, it’s about the impact of the pornification of society, and what affect that has on the general population, and children specifically.

juice92 · 04/10/2022 22:25

Not everything has to be for children all of the time. I agree that sex toys should not be front and centre next to the meal deal, but on the website on their own section is fine. Also what child actively looks for presents on boots?

PinkButtercups · 04/10/2022 22:26

Don't worry, I don't think kids go flicking through the boots catalogue circling what Christmas presents they want.

PinkButtercups · 04/10/2022 22:27

@JudgeJ that's an expensive ride.

Diva66 · 04/10/2022 22:38

Do you think they’ll have them in the Spar shop? I can’t get to the big shops right now and I’m trying to shop local for Christmas gifts.

Lesserspotteddogfish · 04/10/2022 22:52

Yuck. Those kind of things should be confined to seedy little back alley shops.

Why? They’re not seedy. Lots of people use and enjoy them.

ChimChimeny · 05/10/2022 07:59

Once more for the cheap seats at the back...

THEY ARE NOT IN THE SHOPS ONLY ONLINE

so as a PP said unless your kids/anyone are on boots.com searching 'anal beads' they aren't going to see them

mamabear715 · 05/10/2022 08:01

I agree, tbh, @Lesserspotteddogfish I had this imaginary scenario in my mind of a little 'un 'Mummy, what are anal beads?'
Adults know where to buy sex toys, I'm sure they don't need to be on supermarket shelves etc.. let kids be little.. there's enough in the adult world for them to deal with.
@PinkButtercups kids probably DO go through the Boots catalogue, do you not remember them clutching the Argos catalogue with great glee to see what they could ask Santa for?
@VestaTilley Yep, supposed to be perfect mums on MN but as soon as you highlight anything like this, folk assume you're a prude!

M&S pop up shop called S&M?

😂😂

AdobeWanKenobi · 05/10/2022 11:26

the impact of the pornification of society

Yes because God help people having a healthy attitude toward sex. Hide it away in the back streets, lets not discuss it at all and keep it a secret, because what harm could that possibly do?

toomuchlaundry · 05/10/2022 11:33

@PinkButtercups Boots sell children's toys

Has it actually been confirmed that these are actually in the physical print version of the Christmas Catalogue?

I didn't think it was even out yet.

TheOrigRights · 05/10/2022 11:57

To be fair to the OP, sex toys aren't most people's go to when you're stuck what to buy someone.
Hmmmm, what to get Auntie Maud this year.
Oh I know I'll browse the Ann Summers catalogue.
There must be a middle ground between bath salts and anal beads.

I'm hoping my local Jet garage has a similar range of gifts - you know for that last day of term dash for the teacher present.

pinkpotatoez · 05/10/2022 11:59

It's Boots - health and well-being, I think sex toys are fine to be sold there. It's not a kids toys shop

TheOrigRights · 05/10/2022 12:00

Branster · 04/10/2022 21:10

Exactly!!! And I asked my internet provider to monitor the wifi speed for two weeks. I hope they won't look too closely.
I'm actually really embarrassed now.

Oh god....I'm going to get 'suggested for you' Ads in my FB feed now, aren't I!
