Jackson Police make three arrests after an undercover operation uncovers illegal sex toys at two adult bookstores on East McDowell Road in Jackson. Police told News Channel 12 phone calls from neighbors led them to investigate Secrets Adult Bookstore and the McDowell Adult Bookstore. Undercover officers entered the stores Monday morning and purchased illegal sex toys. Harry Rosenthal, 66, and James Henderson, 53, were arrested in connection with the Secrets Adult Bookstore. Misty Jordan, 34, was arrested in connection with the McDowell Adult Bookstore. "This was supposed to be a clean operation, and that's why I'm wondering what was found here," Harry Rosenthal, the owner of Secrets Adult Bookstore said. Rosenthal said his store manager called him when police started raiding the business. He claims nothing illegal was happening at the store, but when he came to check things out, police took him away in handcuffs. Just down the street from Secrets, another man with with ties to the McDowell store also questioned the police raid. "They just started taking boxes," Charles Hobby said. "Some of those boxes, I understand, had lotions, massage oils." Another account of the Great Jackson Adult Bookstore Takedown explains: It is illegal in Mississippi to sell any device designed to stimulate human genitals, [Sgt.] Gladney said. Mississippians can sleep soundly tonight knowing they're safe from their neighbors' genitals being stimulated. Thursday, July 5, 2007
The two-year study was carried out by the Indian Council of Medical Research. Over 1,200 volunteers from the length and breadth of the country had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre. The scientists even checked their sample was representative of India as a whole in terms of class, religion and urban and rural dwellers. The conclusion of all this scientific endeavour is that about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture. Doctor Chander Puri, a specialist in reproductive health at the Indian Council of Medical Research, told the BBC there was an obvious need in India for custom-made condoms, as most of those currently on sale are too large. The issue is serious because about one in every five times a condom is used in India it either falls off or tears, an extremely high failure rate. And the country already has the highest number of HIV infections of any nation. Elsewhere, Large condoms for South African men. A range of extra-large condoms has been launched in South Africa, to cater for "well-endowed" men. "A large number of South African men are bigger and complain about condoms being uncomfortable and too small," said Durex manager Stuart Roberts. Aids activists say the new condom could encourage men to practise safe sex in South Africa, where some 6m are HIV positive - more than any other country. Some South Africans are reluctant to use condoms, says activist Thandi Xolo. Mr Xolo, from the National Association of People Living With HIV/Aids (Napwa), said both men and women fear being labelled as promiscuous if they are seen with condoms. "This could help condoms become cool," he said. "Men will buy them to boost their ego." Even more importantly, it will remove the excuse made by some men for not using condoms - that they are too small. Why aren't there more gradations in condom length/width, like shoe sizes? If ego is an issue, call them "massive", "massiver" and "massivest".
Porno Pizza in Winnipeg has been doing brisk business since opening last week, titillating the hungry with racy pictures at the bottom of every pizza box. “They range from softly-lit, lube-on-the-lens pictures like in Playboy, to raunchy, hardcore photos that would make (porn publisher) Larry Flynt blush,” pizzeria owner Corey Wildeman said. “The image is revealed as you eat the pizza.” Wildeman said he came up with the idea for the naughty pizzeria while talking with friends about classic porn flicks in which “pizza delivery guys meet lonely ladies and deliver more than just pizza”. After two weeks, there's already talk of franchising. I think I'd wait a year to see if business holds up after the novelty factor fades. Monday, July 2, 2007
The Sun has a Golovin knickers slideshow. In related news, The Sun is asking readers to rank the top ten tennis babes, which recalls the Onion classic: "Female Athletes Making Great Strides In Attractiveness". Another tabloid heard from: Hotpants on parade at Wimbledon. And even the official Wimbledon site gets in on the ogling: "But first [Venus] Williams, decked out in white tight-fitting hot pants, needs to overcome her daintier Japanese opponent [Akiko Morigami], resplendent in a feminine combination of frills and lace, on Court 2, the Graveyard of Champions."

The Times of India editorializes in favor of condom freedom. This is a truly baffling instance of political opportunism in the name of Indian culture. Predictably, the fuss created by the minister has instigated politicians from the Congress and CPM as well to hop on to the bandwagon. When it comes to championing the collective morality of the country, it's a competitive field: There's little that separates politicians of different hues. However, their arguments stand on a shaky wicket and the concern is misplaced. Even a cursory glance at ancient texts and statuary in India gives lie to the claim that sex for recreation is not in keeping with Indian tradition and culture. . . . A company must be free to innovate its product line if it feels there is a need to do so. Whether it is government-owned or private is immaterial. Hindustan Latex has been registering a slowdown in profits owing to competition from other brands. If value-adding to its existing products can help arrest the slide, so be it. Condoms are an essential weapon in our battle against AIDS and other sexually-transmitted diseases. They are equally important in promoting effective birth control as well as family welfare. . . . It is ironic that while government is running a high-decibel multimedia campaign to promote the use of condoms, self-appointed custodians of Indian culture are hell-bent on playing spoilsport. If only the repercussions were not grave, one could call the fracas outright stupid. Hear, hear. A followup article in today's Times notes that the national sex toy ban is widely ignored. Labelled a sex toy, the condom Crezendo has been described by some as ‘anti-Indian’ and ‘anti-culture’. But not many know that much before Crezendo came into the market, a leading condom manufacturer was already selling these vibrating rings. These are still readily available in the market at Rs 300 a piece. That isn’t the only sex toy available in the grey market even though their sale is prohibited under law. Just walk into the Capital’s Palika Bazaar or Mumbai’s Crawford Market and the repertoire of sex toys — everything from dildos to inflatable latex dolls — is an indicator of the demand for these products. China, incidentally, manufactures 70% of the world’s sex products and many of these find their way into India where the market is estimated at Rs 500 crore [US$125 million]. |
