Latest buzz: Sex toys no longer novel (coming to Walmart?)
NEW YORK, NY, United States (UPI) -- Condom manufacturer Trojan is expecting 'good vibrations' as their new line of sex toys goes mainstream into Wal-Mart stores and on Amazon.com.

This month, Trojan is shipping subtle black boxes containing so-called 'intimacy care' products, including a warming gel, vibrating ring and vibrators, destined for the feminine-hygiene sections of major pharmacies.

Competitors Durex and Ansell are also on the bandwagon, the New York Daily News said Monday.

In their ads and packaging, the companies are looking to bring women of all ages into their typically young, male customer base, said Stephen Mare, brand manager for Durex`s Play line.

'Has it been a long time coming? I suppose you could say that,' Mare said.

6. Honestly, I think this is great.
Sexuality is natural. This world needs less sexually-repressed people, men and women. Unfortunately though, it's many sexually-repressed men which are starting most of the shit on this planet- would Trojan consider a line of (ahem!) pocket pussies?

Either way, beats the -shit- out of another toy gun in supermarkets.

11. Might be fun to see who "browses" that section.
Call them out on their hipocracy.

14. I don't shop at Walmart.
Will Target be selling them soon? It would be very convenient to get my Cheerios, toilet paper, a CDs, and my sex toys all in one trip. :D
