Whaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!
A bra for testicles I get. That first ad though, is really sexist. How old is that 'vert?
I love the banana hammock ! If I ever buy any undershorts, it would be this :-)
What, exactly, is the first ad selling?
I see now.
It's like the old self-help book "How To Pick Up Chicks", only it's reversed.
Yeah, I think the whole genre is sexist. Funny, but sexist.
sou Don'tca remember "The How To Pick Up Chicks" ads? They were right there next to the x-ray glasses & the sea monkeys. :)
oneblood Probably 40's or 50's.
mac a girlfriend.
Uh, I can't really read the text on the bottom ad, but if it's about cheesy pickup lines then I'm all for it.
...er, the top ad I mean, lol.
qf :)Pick-up lines could apply to the second one, also...
Ref: "The Pick up Girls" book. I see Amazon has one for for $179. This advice is pretty good & it's free.
Buenos Dias Senorita Rita!
I was a tad suprised to see two posting's back to back considering how busy you are. It is interesting how we analyze and exploit sex indeed. For the fella's here .... Dont waste your money on pick up advice book's, or gal's on book's that can land you that miracle man ...just be yourself ...and honesty will alway's land you something, not trying to be something your not, just being yourself ... that way there is no question to that special person of what to expect from you. Nope ... to be honest ... I never had a line, or even thought much about creating one.
When I first seen the support attachment or whatever they look at them as .... I wondered if it was some kind of "bondage" play gear .... or just since it was an older ad ...what Jesus was wearing when taking that football hand-off in the last statue foto ... just kiddin .... but you see ton's of these type's support piece's these day's in all the adult retail store's ... mostly used in some type sex play/ entertainment.
Thank You Ms.Rita! :)
you see ton's of these type's support piece's these day's in all the adult retail store's ... mostly used in some type sex play/ entertainment. Really? I did not know that! No explanation is necessary, though. The vision of what all that might entail is enough to put me off.
As far as dating advice books go, I was a little harsh with the "I adwhore you" line. Not everyone is socially adept when it comes to the opposite sex, but, good advice can be gotten from many sources for free.
Ref: "The Pick up Girls" book. I see Amazon has one for for $179....."
I'd like think of Fred Stoller here:
"Why pay a dollar for a bookmark? Why not use the dollar for a bookmark?"
With that in mind.....
Heck, with $179.00, I don't need a book. I could use the money to purchase a date, maybe two or three in the right(wrong?) neighborhood ;-)
That weiner sling-belt combination is dangerous, imagine what would happen if the belt got snagged on a rope with a boat anchor slung over a pulley or if the belt got wedged in a pallet of bricks while the forklift operator is raising the forks....disaster, that's what.
I still have my eyes tightly scrinched shut at the thought...
Adult retail stores? You mean, like stores where grown-ups buy things? but but ? i still don't understand, but I'm slightly afraid of that contraption.
I especially enjoyed the "pointed" cartoons in a sort of "WTF?!" way.
I've been to Watertown, but I never suspected there was a ball sack factory or I would've taken the tour. Fort Drum is nearby; I wonder if the rig was intended to be marketed to desperate foot soldiers, or just put out there as a method of avoiding the dreaded rupture.
On the brighter side, it could double as a survival tool. A David and Goliath slingshot could come in handy when one's tramp brings one face to face with a bear. Better hurry though, he might not wait for you to whip it out!
A little ball sack humor. Very witty you guys... Emergency slingshot ha!:)
mac The money could definitely be better invested.
qf I was so NOT imagining those scenarios...
sou Really, I have never been to an adult retail store. I do my shopping on line. I haven't found the link to the testicle torture department, yet.
breakerslion Pointed cartoons...yeah, what was with the spanking cartoon? I did a quick google of Meyers manufacturing in Watertown, I didn't find anything. But, Watertown has almost the same demographics of the small town I live in pop. wise. You can find out anything about everything in most small towns. I bet a day of investigative snooping would turn over a stone or two. Or a couple of museum quality Separate Sack Suspensorys. I wonder if they have a museum in Watertown? Maybe some old dufers still wearing their ball sacks?
Well, crap! I just noticed the address was Watertown,N.Y. not Watertown, MI.
Nevermind that story then!
Isn't Bloomingdales a retail store aimed at adults?
Or is an 'Adult Retail Store' a place where you may purchase adults?
How about an Adult Rental Store?
How is it, that as a male, I have lived all my life without ever knowing that thes devices exist. Nor ever feeling that I needed one?
what's going on in your life, Rita?
A comment to Mr.Soubriquet, if I may. As for your last comment's on "adult retail" outlet's or whatever. This is a look at our title's and term's. I noticed you live in Northern England ..... when I stayed in London for instance and I stayed in the Westminster/Soho area that has a fairly good amount of these busineses for instance (well at least did back in the late 1980's early 1990's, it could be all Puritan's now for all I know) all your sex entertainment and retailer's were called "sex shoppe's", as was similar when I stayed in Montreal,QE (Canada) which is about 3 quarter's French. When I stayed in USA in New York City, Dallas and Los Angeles for instance, they were all called "adult" businesses. And these are not the stereotype place's that the masses consider them ... they rent and sell video entertainment, have lot's of party gift's, clothing, as well as erotic play device's, it's also I may add ... one part of the retail sector that didnt hardly feel the recession. I buy almost all my birthday card's for instance from these place's because they sell card's beside's the boring mainstream card's that the masses buy, and not just with quote's about sex. Also many women shop at these store's, so it is far from a business that cater's to men or what is termed as perverse people by the masses. Since you said you know nothing about these place's, I just figured on "sharing" ... of coarse with the "approval" of Ms.Rita ... and of coarse not offending her I hope. I only use the term "adult" out of politeness, because how "easily" sensitive people are to term's/word's, other than that, frankly I dont give a shit what their called by our poilitically correct and frail societies, or feel offended myself in any way.
Thank You ......
Well! The spanking illustration was interesting, although I'm not sure what point it was illustrating exactly.
Posts on feminism/sexism always remind me of why I choose my monikers the way I do...
and I agree with... everyone. The spanking illustration is totally random.
Also, you should visit an "adult retailer." It can be quite an experience. I know of three in this area, and they're each different.
One is "condom sense," 1/3 lingerie and sex toys and books, 1/3 bath&beauty + bachelorette party suppiles/gag gifts, 1/3 funny cards&t shirts and incense and candles.
Another is Nomia, it is owned and staffed by women with a focus on women, and some nights are "women only." AND they hire nasty bitches whom I would term "anti-child." My friend was asked to leave because her not-even-1-yr child was with her. this might seem odd to bring the child in the first place, but she was too young for it to mean anything to her, so whatever. She was asked to leave because "the child was making the other customers uncomfortable, they had complained." ....we (her, myself, 2 friends) were the ONLY customers.
The third I can't remember the name of, and is more what many people think of... some toys, and a LOT of porn. A LOT. I've heard that there is some pretty weird stuff there, but the employees were freaking us out (sweaty fat guys staring), so we left.
There I go again with the unreasonably long, barely related comments...
This conversation has taken an interesting turn...
What ever you want to call them... Adult retail stores, sex shoppes, porn outlets, who cares?
We all know what they are for.
We have only one in the rural county that I live in & I've never been in it. Not that I find anything wrong with the concept.
I applaud people that are comfortable with their sexuality. I say, do what turns you & your consenting partner on...as long as nobody gets hurt.
i like the wise comment you made just above...
"I applaud people that are comfortable with their sexuality. I say, do what turns you & your consenting partner on...as long as nobody gets hurt."
What's your definition of "hurt"?
Gideon
The key word is "consenting" & I should of added "adult".
"...as long as no one gets hurt" means exactly that.
For instance, I was married for over 20 years. I never had a sexual affair outside my marriage. Not because I didn't have the opportunity, but because I didn't want to hurt my family, or anyone else for that matter.
If you can give me a good argument
Opps! I meant to add... If you can give me a good argument against that, which doesn't involve "because the Bible said so" I'll take it into consideration.
Ranch Chimp: Um, yes, I did know what you meant, there is a sign, pointing to a side street near my daily commute that says "Adult Store", and I'm in no doubt about the nature of the business,
The thing I didn't understand was the device that Rita illustrated.
But also I was musing on how words get hijacked when they are used as euphemisms. If we said "kid's store", we'd immediately think of kids toys, clothing etc.
Most of the stores that are not kid's stores are designed to appeal to adults...
Yet, we understand "adult store" to refer to stores selling appurtenances and erotica, to be exclusively concerned with sexuality.
I've never ventured into one, I'm saving that for when I get to 85.
Which reminds me of a joke.
The old lady, a bit wobbly on her feet, comes into the adult shop, and walks up to the vibrator display, looking at it with some interest.
She waves a shaky hand at a sales assistant..
"MmmMiss? These vvvv vibrrrators? The the the... supa-whoppers?", she stammers.
"Yes Madam?" says the sales girl "would you like to see one closer?" "N n n n no..... I just want you to t t t tell me how to sw sw switch the damn thing off!"
Sou
I'm saving that for when I get to 85. very cute!
BTW, what happened to your blog?
What'cha mean, Rita, what happened?
Ohhh. you mean my paucity of posting? or cheating by posting music?
I just keep getting blogger's nipple, no, I mean, blogger's block, I seem to be commenting rather than posting.
But actually, secretly, I just created another blog and two websites. not for me, oh, it's a convoluted story... And I've got a stinking real-world cold. and my nose is red, and my ribs are sore from coughing,
I'll try to climb back into the blog control seat, but the temptation to just go read a book is very great.
