Since my last post was a dupe, here's another go. Did the reporter of this story want to highlight an unjust zoning attack on an S&M club, or was she just looking for an excuse to describe kinky sex displays in great detail?

Thanks to reader Dave Lichtenberg for sending the link.

oh my....

there was a story here on local NPR yesterday about "how to shop for the appropriate sex toy for her"... no mention about how to get into one of those stores without fainting or blushing...

what: had abba been an S&M band, the song woulda been called "bondage queen"???

No need, Dave, let the kinky merchandise come to you! My wife was recently invited to (and yes, attended) a "sex toy" party. Apparently they're all the rage in suburbia. Just like Tupperware. The hostess presents the merchandise in her home, takes orders, and then gets a cut of the final sales. My wife was hesitant at first but said it turned out to be a lot of fun.

WHAT GREAT PUBLICITY!!!! Cracking down on these people is going to make the sex show backers rich.

First of all, the only thing this sex show needs are more attractive participants and nude viewers. I'm thinking a pan-sexual extravaganza the likes of which haven't been seen since the days of Caligula. I'm both titillated and... we'll I'm only tittilated.

"Police sent undercover Detective Karla Sarnacki into the club twice..."

Now there's the setup for an erotic thriller starring Tawni Kitaen, Julian Sands and Peta Wilson. At what point did Detective Sarnacki cross the line between pain and pleasure, and realize too late that the hunter had become the hunted in a deadly game of terror, attraction and obsession?

Tim,

Good call. I was reading the article and could swear I caught that one on skinemax at some point.

Reminds me of the old Lenny Bruce bit about judicial oversight (colloquially known as "Eat, Sleep, Crap"). All the cops end up in the $200-a-night whore house--"investigating."

"They need to get lessons."

She is a stern and demanding mistress.

They should the cover charge a "donation."

You naughty, naughty, naughty girl Sara! :)

Reminds me of that scene from Holy Grail where Sir Galahad The Chaste goes to the Castle Anthrax. "Oh, wicked, wicked Zoot. Oh, she is a naughty person and she must pay the penalty, and here in Castle Anthrax, we have but one punishment for setting alight the grail-shaped beacon: you must tie her down on a bed and spank her."

Croesus|5.22.03 @ 5:44AM|#

"And after the spanking, the oral sex."

Warren|5.22.03 @ 8:08AM|#

And me! You must spank me too!

Homer: Look, I'm supposed to get a physics tutor.
Nerd 1: Well, you've come to the right place then. If there's one thing we know, it is science.
Nerd 2: And math.
Nerd 3: And the words to every Monty Python routine.

Drugstore.com is a good source for the more common sex toys if you're adverse to going to a shop or specialty website. Plus, the box just says "Drugstore.com" so it could be anything. :)

"need to do S&M safely"????

Sheesh...talk about your cake and eating it too.

I am surprised that Libertarians would express anything but support for groups of people who wish to privately persue their own objectives. We usually call Libertarians who want to try and control others beliefs and actions Conservatives.

Murrel,

Who isn't supporting them?
