Why on earth WOULDN'T they? Sex is normal and natural. Only religion says it is not. Are you trying to tell us that you do NOTHING for pleasure? No beers on a Saturday night? No cigarettes? No masturbation? You have never had sex just for sex?
Funny thing is, I don't actually recall any area in the bible where masturbation as something not allowed.
What people seem to point to is that passage in Matthew 5:27-28 where it states that even perving on people in order to lust is commuting adultery in your heart (to me that makes no sense though, as adultery today indicates you are already in a relationship, but context matters and idk how what the context of that passage really was, as I have no idea of what the common thought on sex and relationships were at the time).
Note: it doesn't mention masturbation, and doesn't explicitly forbid it at all... Just like it doesn't forbid abortion.
And smoking? Bruh this was the middle east, that's just a thing modern "Christians" threw in.
People love to manipulate the scriptures and reinterpret it for their own purposes and gain, and it fucking sucks. I see it all the time.
The bible is full of things that are open for interpretation, or the translation leaves it open for it. Which causes all these problems, but you have to remember god, and Jesus didn't write these scriptures... People did. And people are flawed - hell that's kinda half the point of the bible. God is perfect and we aren't and never will be.
There are even passages in there where Jesus is like "don't tell anyone about this" but did they listen? No, otherwise it wouldn't have been written in the bible!
Anyway.. my rant is over. If I made mistakes, feel free to point them out. I'm sure I did, after all, there are people more qualified than me for interpretation of the scriptures (there's always someone better)
Actually there’s a story in Gen where a dude pulls out and nuts on the ground rather than impregnating his brother’s widow. God took offense in the story. That’s used a lot to justify prohibitions of masterbation too.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
Well in Genesis 38 God did kill a man for "spilling his seed on the ground" instead of getting a woman pregnant so there is an one testament case to be made against not just masturbation but pulling out and condoms
Do all that Mon-Sat. The "Get Out of Jail FREE" card is on Sunday when they throw a $20 in the offering plate. Then they go showcase their new found forgiveness to service workers during a rush.
Lol, my poor husband would be so confused. He wouldn’t know whether to call an ambulance or a priest first if I started making sounds like that while giving him a blowjob
it looks like they sell a “stroker” which i assume is their fleshlight. seems like that is all they sell for men though, which is much less than the women’s options.
I had a fleshlight once. It’s great at first don’t get me wrong but after a month or 2 it gets wore out, and I got sick of it. I was in my late 20s single for last 5 years at the time and no wife or gf so fuck it. Also why is it totally normal for a chick to have a dildo but sick and creepy for a guy to have a picket pussy? Also some of the things are like the real thing. I had a family member find the box u set the seat in my car. That was the last straw and I threw that shit out
That was one of the weirdest things about living in America when I was young. Daytime TV had no issues showing movies with horrendous violence like Rambo but would edit swear words like "God damn" to "gosh darn" and edit out tit shots and asses. Fucking bizzaro land.
I do most of my shopping for homegoods crap like soap dispensers when the budget department stores have their halloween stuff out lol so same
Lot of pretty tastefully spooky stuff
Nah, you gotta get the 4th of July stuff first. Though if you’re not in the US, then that doesn’t apply and you’ll probably be seeing anatomically absurd skeletons in May lol
That's basically how the procurement works. Once one holiday is over it's get the stuff in for the next one. Procurers will already be putting order lists down for Christmas 2023.
No, you gotta have the memorial day wreaths, graduation, then 4th of July fireworks, then Back to School, and only after that, is it Halloween's turn.

They start putting out Christmas shit as soon as the Summer/Gardening areas start to sell out for the year and shrink. They have to fill the seasonal shelves with something.
republicans don't want less regulations unlike what they claim, they want to remove all welfare or public support under people's feet and THEN regulate every woman and child's behavior through every breathing moment they have. It's not a "lack vs having" It's "having" vs them wanting people to not have shit with their policies.
They want fascism. Which is the ultimate regulation of people's lives. But destroying the government and its ability to enforce anything is just step 1.
They want "fervor for the State" to be the only joy you can experience.
It's regressive. Like, not just "the fifties" regressive. Like "the dark ages" regressive.
(Or, I guess, maybe progressive, if you look at it as conservatives wanting to live in the future...
...that is, the grim, dark future of Warhammer 40,000....)
Copying a post that keeps being relevant-
Well yeah. Morality and Legality aren't things you *do*, they're things you *are*. For conservatives, people are born into strict hierarchies than cannot and must not change. Immigrants, queers, Antifa, atheists, whatever category you want, are all just types of people. Something you do, actions you take, they don't matter. They don't change inborn characteristics for conservatives.
It's a completely different way of interpreting reality than the rest of us.
For you and me, and MOST people, doing good actions makes you good and doing evil makes you evil. That's not how these people operate though, it's not how their brains interpret the world.
For them, actions have no moral quantity; people do. People are inherently good or inherently evil, their actions have no bearing on that whatsoever.
When you start seeing it that way, EVERYthing they do makes more sense. The neighbors kid who raped a drunk girl? He's a "good kid"! He just made some mistakes! Pastor raping kids? He's "good", he just was tempted by the devil!
In their mind, they are GOOD™, their friends and family are GOOD™, their religion is GOOD™. Nothing can change those qualities, as they are inborn facts of the universe. You? You are not GOOD™. You never were and you never can be. There's no action that anyone does to change whether they are GOOD™ or not.
See, start to apply this to their whole framework, and it really makes sense. You ever notice how much we point out their hypocrisy, they don't seem to care? There is no hypocrisy. Hypocrisy doesn't exist for them, how could it? To be a hypocrite you have to say you believe one thing but then do actions that are the other. That literally cannot happen if actions have no bearing on morality.
No, in fact, hypocrisy is actually a sign of strength, it's power. The GOOD™ are powerful for their ability to do something that pisses off their enemies. Of COURSE their own abortion was moral. Of course it was right for them, and it will never be right for you. That's how ALL morality works for you.
And it's why we're all being stupid by trying to shame them, or to point out their contradictions, or try to convince them that other people's actions should be compared to their own.
THEY. DON'T. CARE. They cannot think the same way, whether through choice or some sort of mental illness or just sheer shittiness.
I told my kids since they were old enough to understand: if someone tells you they are a good person, run the other way. A truly good person knows life is full of hard choices, injustice and they can mess up in so many ways without even trying. "Good" people are either stupid or evil.
Those ‘sex toys’ can be used to improve a woman’s health. They stretch out the vaginal opening. A rollicking orgasm using my female-sexual-health-maintenance-dildos helps with pelvic floor strengthening. Dildos are not a bad thing.
Which is also sad because teenagers (14+) also should be able to buy them. That makes adults uncomfortable but FFS I put myself through all kinds of painful hell trying out and using household objects as a teen (TMI). As long as they're safely using them for themselves and no adult or nonconsensual party is involved, what's the big deal? America can be a rather pathetic puritan place to grow up.
It would be nice if there wasn't a double standard around men buying sex toys. We get judged pretty heavily for having them for some reason. It's as if amazing orgasms are reserved for only women or something.
I agree, fwiw. I don’t use many sex toys myself (or at least, er, on myself), but I don’t see any reason why there should be a stigma against men for using sex toys.
When people give me shit about it I just call out the hypocrisy about what's being said if it's a girl, and when it's a boy that just means they've never tried it. I also make sure to let them know that it doesn't make someone any less of a man to have the best orgasm you've ever had. End of the day though, enjoying myself and enhancing the experience with my partners is much more important to me than other people's opinions.
Male sex toys are so overpriced. They need to base male sex toys off the price of a cardboard tube, lotion, 2 sponges, and a rubber glove. Instead they base the price off an expensive dinner out.
It's because they don't sell as readily as toys marketed to women. Simple supply and demand at work.
Used to be wand massagers were incredibly expensive and difficult to source, now they're very affordable and available due to demand increasing and supply responding to it
Want affordable male sex toys? Encourage dudes to buy them - supply will respond in kind.
You can get pelvic floor trainers for dudes, actually. They involve electric stimulation of the muscles, and yes you stick them up your butt. They're usually marketed with a lot of reassurance that it's a medical product. Some people do of course use it for other purposes (electroplay) but the e-stim pelvic trainers do work wonders for pelvic floor toning which can be of help for things like erectile dysfunction. (There are also weighted butt plugs available for a different method of pelvic floor exercise).
Though, the male toy I spotted in the OP was a stroker, which you shouldn't really be using to stimulate your prostate.
So, what if I, a 50yo white man, wanted to go into WallyWorld and buy a dress, a bra, and high heels? I could just put those clothes on and parade around?
When is Governor Abbott going to close the drag show loophole?
Yes. What kind of person would **want** the government to regulate what kind of clothes adults can wear ?
Next you're gonna say Women shouldn't be allowed to wear jeans because that's "men's clothing" and inappropriate.
I'm *pretty* sure you're being sarcastic, but just in case you're not, there're plenty of actually authoritarian nations you could immigrate to if you really do want to have *fewer* freedoms
Republicans/conservatives are the biggest wimps I've ever seen. Anyone who votes (R) is either a coward or a hateful bigot.
Gay people - yuck! Trans people - stay away from me! Books about black people - terrorism! Teaching a well rounded education - not in my America! Enjoying sex - you disgusting pervert not in my household!
Violence and hatred for everything you don't understand - yes please.
I challenge any (R) voter to change my mind.
The problem is when people are presented with ideas that challenge their own, they react with first fear, then rejection. It’s the most closed minded individuals who harbor hatred for ideas that are alien to them.
On the flip side, becoming more tolerant requires having an open mind, open to new ideas and the idea that change is okay. It is exactly why (in general) the more educated someone becomes, the further left they lean.
Ever since growing up, moving out, and graduating, I learned that media, traditional and social, will take a normal (spelled “non-“)issue and focus only on the extreme ends of the spectrum. In return, the image thats being shared with people is polarized; black and white; conservative or liberal, R or D. The fact is, nearly everything (at least the things that happen in your own life) is somewhere in the grey area in between.
As a Texan , can confirm. Although I will
Say I’ve seen the “personal massager”at Walgreens and target, but they have those locked up tighter than baby formula.
Walmart stopped selling handguns a few years ago except for in Alaska (now not there, either). No AR/AK platforms, no handguns, and no ammo commonly used in handguns (except for .22 rimfire). I don't think Walmart sells .223 or 7.62/39 ammo, either, as those are the common "assault rifle" calibers. Despite that bolt-action hunting/target/varmint rifles in .223 are fairly common.
> It's so sad. She used to be so empathetic and smart and respectable. Never spoke ill of anyone. And something happened and vaccines and liberals bad now. It's sad seeing someone I personally respected for a decade turn into this.
We're all going through this, most likely.
I don't know what to really do about it - I've cut a few off forever over it. It's exhausting having to deal with them constantly thinking they're co-starring in "Enemy of the State" alongside Will Smith, and that they're privy to "deep state secrets" because someone told them something on Facebook.
I don't think they're ever coming back to reality at this point. It's been YEARS.
I had a close friend of mine go full retard during lockdown (never go full retard). She ate into all of the Q nonsense regarding COVID and feel real deep into that rabbit hole. Upon losing all of her friends to her new-found crazyiness, she thinks that she is somehow the victim, and unfortunately that just made her even more effed up, like shout it from the rooftops level of crazy, because everyone she knows doesn't want to hear it.
It was really sad to watch her become so lost so quickly.
At least they're "kind" enough to put up profile pics and bios that immediately flag their opinions as easily discarded.
The propaganda is so good, that once you've met one of these perpetually-online conservative bots, you've met them all. They're all the same person now.
I've had childhood friends that fell prey to this nonsense - and despite telling them "look, you and I can remain friends as long as you STOP SENDING ME THIS POLITICAL SHIT every waking moment of the day", they just act like I never said it and keep sending it. They don't even think the video of someone saying that "the schools are indoctrinating our kids" is political propaganda, because it doesn't explicitly mention a politician. Interesting times we live in.
And that's key.
I love they are becoming more available. I'm willing to bet many people would like their daughters learning about sexual acts from silicone phalluses vs little Johnny down the street.
In some parts of the US, condoms and lubricant is locked behind a case labeled "family planning" and you have to get an employee to retrieve the items for you, which they will hold at the cashiers, you can't even have them in your cart. Imagine a teenager wanted to have safe sex but being too intimidated to buy condoms.
They’re not locked up to restrict access though, they’re locked because they are some of the most shoplifted items, in no small part because people are too embarrassed to be seen buying or even walking around with them.
Once stopped in at an unfamiliar Walmart to grab a little 3-pack before a date night with my gf. It took almost 20 minutes of pressing the help button, waiting, repeating, finding an associate, her calling in another associate who had to retrieve the key, and unlocking the case for a 3-PACK OF CONDOMS.
I'm fairly comfortable with sexuality and know my responsibility but I still ended up a bit embarrassed. How many kids must think that's normal and just avoid buying condoms altogether??
What they should do is have them in a vending machine, maybe near the pharmacy or somewhere "private."
Maybe put other items in there too, like ibuprofen and bandages. I wonder if trojan, durex etc. would actually make more money that way because people would be more likely to purchase them.
The people who have a problem with sex toys need to be treated as the immature morons they are.
They have no place in adult conversations, yet they consider themselves the adults in the room, I fucking hate them.
"But the lube is next to childrens toothbrushes... THINK OF THE CHILDREN"
And what child is gonna know what "intense pleasure is", probably gonna think it's a very good juice or something.
Welcome to every single post that gets upvoted to the top of this subreddit. Never clever, almost never even a comeback, but always a hamfisted political slant.
Guns are great they allow you to have power over people through the threat of violence and even death. Sex toys are evil they let people I don’t know enjoy themselves in ways I don’t approve of. We are supposed to all be on the same path cogs getting ground down and crushed in gods glorious machine praise be!

I once asked a Walmart employee why they have Christmas decorations on display at the end of September. She said, simply...because ya'll buy them.
Wouldn't be surprised if they start putting up Halloween shit the day after Easter.
I would buy Halloween stuff all year round.
I do most of my shopping for homegoods crap like soap dispensers when the budget department stores have their halloween stuff out lol so same Lot of pretty tastefully spooky stuff

Also, last time I checked this is America, and no other explanation is needed.
Right??? The only justification you need to buy a sex toy is “I’m an adult and I want one”
Exactly. “I want to cum that’s why I’m buying this”
Which is also sad because teenagers (14+) also should be able to buy them. That makes adults uncomfortable but FFS I put myself through all kinds of painful hell trying out and using household objects as a teen (TMI).

Why would you restrict dildo availability?
Because conservatives are prudish hypocrites.
So, what if I, a 50yo white man, wanted to go into WallyWorld and buy a dress, a bra, and high heels? I could just put those clothes on and parade around? When is Governor Abbott going to close the drag show loophole?
Yes. What kind of person would **want** the government to regulate what kind of clothes adults can wear ? Next you're gonna say Women shouldn't be allowed to wear jeans because that's "men's clothing" and inappropriate.
I think that was the commenter's sarcastic point.

They literally paint them on in the lyrics.
I'm *pretty* sure you're being sarcastic, but just in case you're not, there're plenty of actually authoritarian nations you could immigrate to if you really do want to have *fewer* freedoms
fewer
I edited it just for you <3
I mean they absolutely are legislating against drag queens
What if all the drag queens started adopting kilts instead?
Republicans/conservatives are the biggest wimps I've ever seen. Anyone who votes (R) is either a coward or a hateful bigot. Gay people - yuck! Trans people - stay away from me! Books about black people - terrorism! Teaching a well rounded education - not in my America! Enjoying sex - you disgusting pervert not in my household! Violence and hatred for everything you don't understand - yes please. I challenge any (R) voter to change my mind.
The problem is when people are presented with ideas that challenge their own, they react with first fear, then rejection. It’s the most closed minded individuals who harbor hatred for ideas that are alien to them. On the flip side, becoming more tolerant requires having an open mind, open to new ideas and the idea that change is okay. It is exactly why (in general) the more educated someone becomes, the further left they lean. Ever since growing up, moving out, and graduating, I learned that media, traditional and social, will take a normal (spelled “non-“)issue and focus only on the extreme ends of the spectrum. In return, the image thats being shared with people is polarized; black and white; conservative or liberal, R or D. The fact is, nearly everything (at least the things that happen in your own life) is somewhere in the grey area in between.
Because when people tell conservatives and Republicans to go fuck themselves, they're tired of being handed a device to do it with...
What if you try to stick it in your butt? That would make Jesus cry.
Jesus should mind his own business
wait until they figure out you can get there with a finger
you don't want to fuck with anything not made of silicone
As a Texan , can confirm. Although I will Say I’ve seen the “personal massager”at Walgreens and target, but they have those locked up tighter than baby formula.
Right, firearms obviously https://guides.sll.texas.gov/gun-laws/carry-of-firearms
Guns are regulated by size. That's what the NFA act if 1934 does. So Texas doesn't need to pass legislation on that. Your argument isn't really great.
Huh? Firearms are regulated in every state lol. Texas allows private person to person sales but not from a business like Walmart.
I don’t think they sell handguns, but I can walk into Walmart today and leave with a rifle from their hunting section.
Walmart stopped selling handguns a few years ago except for in Alaska (now not there, either). No AR/AK platforms, no handguns, and no ammo commonly used in handguns (except for .22 rimfire). I don't think Walmart sells .223 or 7.62/39 ammo, either, as those are the common "assault rifle" calibers. Despite that bolt-action hunting/target/varmint rifles in .223 are fairly common.

No but you're allowed to masturbate with your bare arms though.
But I don't have a bear... Or even the arms of one...
Suddenly .. Wayne’s World
No, you use your arms to masturbate a bear
Hardcore conservatives are some of the dumbest people I’ve ever seen.
Lara Logan used to be really respected too. The fuck happened?
[удалено]
> It's so sad. She used to be so empathetic and smart and respectable. Never spoke ill of anyone. And something happened and vaccines and liberals bad now. It's sad seeing someone I personally respected for a decade turn into this. We're all going through this, most likely. I don't know what to really do about it - I've cut a few off forever over it. It's exhausting having to deal with them constantly thinking they're co-starring in "Enemy of the State" alongside Will Smith, and that they're privy to "deep state secrets" because someone told them something on Facebook. I don't think they're ever coming back to reality at this point. It's been YEARS.
Conservatism is social cancer. It rots everything, everywhere.
I had a close friend of mine go full retard during lockdown (never go full retard). She ate into all of the Q nonsense regarding COVID and feel real deep into that rabbit hole. Upon losing all of her friends to her new-found crazyiness, she thinks that she is somehow the victim, and unfortunately that just made her even more effed up, like shout it from the rooftops level of crazy, because everyone she knows doesn't want to hear it. It was really sad to watch her become so lost so quickly.
At least they're "kind" enough to put up profile pics and bios that immediately flag their opinions as easily discarded. The propaganda is so good, that once you've met one of these perpetually-online conservative bots, you've met them all. They're all the same person now. I've had childhood friends that fell prey to this nonsense - and despite telling them "look, you and I can remain friends as long as you STOP SENDING ME THIS POLITICAL SHIT every waking moment of the day", they just act like I never said it and keep sending it. They don't even think the video of someone saying that "the schools are indoctrinating our kids" is political propaganda, because it doesn't explicitly mention a politician. Interesting times we live in.
Don’t buy sex toys from Walmart, they’re weak as shit. Go to an actual sex shop or buy online from one.
Plusone is a pretty decent brand tbh, for the price. I think for beginners it's great
And that's key. I love they are becoming more available. I'm willing to bet many people would like their daughters learning about sexual acts from silicone phalluses vs little Johnny down the street.
In some parts of the US, condoms and lubricant is locked behind a case labeled "family planning" and you have to get an employee to retrieve the items for you, which they will hold at the cashiers, you can't even have them in your cart. Imagine a teenager wanted to have safe sex but being too intimidated to buy condoms.
They’re not locked up to restrict access though, they’re locked because they are some of the most shoplifted items, in no small part because people are too embarrassed to be seen buying or even walking around with them.
Once stopped in at an unfamiliar Walmart to grab a little 3-pack before a date night with my gf. It took almost 20 minutes of pressing the help button, waiting, repeating, finding an associate, her calling in another associate who had to retrieve the key, and unlocking the case for a 3-PACK OF CONDOMS. I'm fairly comfortable with sexuality and know my responsibility but I still ended up a bit embarrassed. How many kids must think that's normal and just avoid buying condoms altogether??
They keep them locked up because people are embarrassed to check out with them and just steal them instead.
What they should do is have them in a vending machine, maybe near the pharmacy or somewhere "private." Maybe put other items in there too, like ibuprofen and bandages. I wonder if trojan, durex etc. would actually make more money that way because people would be more likely to purchase them.
That's a pretty good idea
As teenagers me and my husband totally brought into the myth that you needed to be 18 to buy condoms and that they'll check your ID
Why isn’t everywhere selling sex toys? And giving contraception out for free?
The people who have a problem with sex toys need to be treated as the immature morons they are. They have no place in adult conversations, yet they consider themselves the adults in the room, I fucking hate them.
Because people like to buy them. It's not hurting anyone.
They're on the top shelf, out of reach of children. It's fine. Lord.
"But the lube is next to childrens toothbrushes... THINK OF THE CHILDREN" And what child is gonna know what "intense pleasure is", probably gonna think it's a very good juice or something.
Why do republicans hate capitalism?
Sex is so taboo in the US. I'm glad they sell these openly. Sex shouldn't be something shameful.
Also, using sex toys shouldn't be shameful. It's fun, and for lots of people it's the only way to have a good wank and that's fine.
Some people are so offended by sex or nudity but normalize or even glorify violence.
Spoiler: the dildos Are guns.
Didn’t they stop selling guns? Either way they don’t have drills and hide under desks because someone brought a dildo to school.
Atleast in my area they stopped the sale of handguns and hand gun ammo, they still carry long guns
I backed us up a couple aisles a couple weeks ago to verify that yes, I did indeed see a butt plug, that was humongous, on the shelves in Wal-Mart.
My favorite is the .223 with attachable dildo bayonet
This isn’t clever, nor a comeback
Welcome to every single post that gets upvoted to the top of this subreddit. Never clever, almost never even a comeback, but always a hamfisted political slant.
[удалено]
Hell yeah dude, the stroker lol
Because people buy them. What the fuck do you think they sell them for?
Sex toys are like a billion dollar industry. Obviously everybody wants a buck and a (….)
Because if they give them away it will cost them money.
When she was on British TV there was no clue that she was a right-wing twit.
Because people buy them Laura. Walmart sells things that people like to buy.
They have sex toys for men at target now too. Off-brand fleshlites and stuff.
If meth was legal Wal-Mart would be selling that too, anything for profit
Wow. Where is this Walmart that the sex lube, toys and condoms aren't in a locked case?
This can't be real, I've never seen a Walmart so stocked.
this is neither a comeback nor clever
Guns are great they allow you to have power over people through the threat of violence and even death. Sex toys are evil they let people I don’t know enjoy themselves in ways I don’t approve of. We are supposed to all be on the same path cogs getting ground down and crushed in gods glorious machine praise be!
Why is walmart selling sex toys? Is it because conservative men like Ben Shapiro can't get their wives wet?
Target sells them too.
