MP's call for sex toy manufacturing rules supportedSome Calgary sex toy shops are behind an Ontario politician's push to see the industry regulated to better protect consumers. Carolyn Bennett, a medical doctor and Toronto MP, made the pitch to the federal health minister this week saying chemicals used in most sex toys pose potential health risks for women. The owner of A Little More Interesting, said it's refreshing to see a politician willing to take a stand on the touchy topic. "There are absolutely no regulations," she said from her Calgary adult boutique. "You have to trust the store you are buying at." While she said she couldn't sell something she knew to be harmful -- in a world where knock-offs and cheap productions can be bought for a third of the cost and lucratively sold -- there are definitely some retailers attracted to "profitability over responsibility."

P.S. I Love You (and You and You) Polyamorous couples say monogamous marriage is an archaic custom, that it imposes unhealthy self-denial while suppressing a healthy attitude toward companionship in general. Can’t we all just get along? Like, really get along? By Vanessa Richmond |

Now That’s A Little More Interesting Business Review by Allison Brodowski - From March 2008 (Page 31) There is something to be said when a sex toy store makes a point of being ”sex positive”. The industry surrounding an obvious cultural obsession has proven time and time again that pleasure and comfort are sidelined by profits. Simple oversights such as cancer causing agents in dildos and cock rings, lubricants that cause yeast infections and skin irritations, or badly placed warnings on vibrators sold exclusively as ‘adult novelties’ are all too common. |
