Economic Stimulus Plan: Buy Sex Toys
Here’s more of my Super-Gay Economic Stimulus Plan. The economy sucks, the days are getting darker; but don’t get depressed, get randy! My friend Katie said, ‘œWhen this is election is over, we either celebrate with beer or drown our sorrows in it.’ I’m not a beer girl, so all I could think about was sex. I’ll use sex to celebrate! Here are four great reasons to ‘œstimulate’ the economy (and other things!)
1. It’s a relatively cheap way to spoil yourself and while improving your health. If you have more sex/get off more, you will fill the psychological contentment void which otherwise causes you to over-eat ($$) and spend more of your precious cash on bigger frivolous items. (I’m all about getting you to have a more sex, as a life coach and as a musician. Listen to my new song Sex Begets Sex on Myspace.)
2. If you stay home and have sex by yourself or with a sweetie, you are less likely to blow $100 or more per night on dinner and wine, night clubs, drinks, (prostitutes?). A really nice vibrator or dildo at $80 can provide hours and hours…and hours of enjoyment…
3. Buying sex toys, especially ones made in the USA (or made locally) supports the kind of sex and sexuality-positive small businesses we as queers must not allow to perish in an economic crash. We must support businesses which cater to queers, queer up the sidewalks of our cities, and help straight people explore their sexuality. The feminist-owned sex stores I know help support other local queer arts and social justice organizations.
4. Because people are less likely to buy sex toys or other non-essential items, you are more likely to get them on sale! (Its true, sex toys hardly ever go on sale). Cool things on sale at Babeland right now and DVDs and Rabit Habit currently 15% off at GoodVibes.com. So get your buns to your local woman or queer-owned sex store like Good Vibrations (The Rabit Habit, all vibratex products and DVDs are 15% off!) or Babeland (great sale page!) and buy something to cheer you up on a rainy day.
Have you found sex toys on sale recently? Why are quality sex toys so expensive? Does sexy time with yourself or a partner enhance your mood when the weather gets icky? Are you a sex toy “big spender”?…
P.S. My sexy-queer new Album “Quickie” (and MP3s!) are on sale at: http://www.cdbaby.com/moorea4
Apparently you could get sex toys by voting too. No word on how good they are though. Speaking of babeland…http://jezebel.com/5075025/
Might I also suggest using rechargeable batteries for toys that require them? They cost less over the long term and are better for the environment.
I’m totally pro sex toy, but I also think we can’t forget the free way of getting ourselves (and prospective partners) off . . . When the zombies attack and we don’t have electricity or batteries, you’ll be thankful you kept your right hand in shape.
Fortunately not all toys require batteries, although I will be the first to admit that those toys are the best! Passion Parties is a wonderful place to get your sexual juices flowing, straight, gay, young (over 18) and old. And in these tough times, it’s a great way for the girls to make a little (or a lot) of extra cash. My area is a small one and there is only one sex store in town and that just will never do. It is my duty to spread the joy…..Love your stuff!!!
Thanks for this article and mentioning Good Vibrations! There’s a bunch of sales and promotions happening right now too — great for deals on rechargeable vibes that don’t waste batteries and dollars. : D
