That's Why They Call Them Adult "Toys"
 
Brownstoner: That's Why They Call Them Adult "Toys"

Quote:

The hoopla over an adult toy store opening in notoriously kid-obsessed Park Slope has died down, but a tipster sent in this photo of a kid enjoying the selection at Toys in Babeland (yes, apparently that is some sort of, um, toy in his hand). Perhaps something to fuel the debate in the current presidential race about sex education?
this wsa just irony.... or is it a different word? either way... it's humor in real life.

I'd never take my toddlers to a sex shop. They do enough to prevent me from getting laid already.

I read an article awhile back (on Slate maybe?) about the tensions stemming from the Park Slope area and its reputation for uber-parents with over-privilged children. Judging from the comments responding to this article, it sounds like a very real phenomenon.

I guess that it depends on the store policy, and how management decides to enforce it.

I occasionally drop in at a couple of local shops. At Eros 1207 I've never seen kids in there, much less running around freely, but I have at Bizarre Bizzar (kind of weird to see kids checking out sex toys & drug paraphernalia).

If is, once again, the responsibility of a parent to control what their child does and has access to. It is not the responsibility of a store to become the parents. If you're outraged by children in this store, don't let your child enter.

most shops I have been to enforce an "18 or older" policy.

Back when this picture originally was making the rounds, I read that it is the child of the store owner.
