Christian Sex Toys Web Site Thriving
“A Welsh couple who set up a Web site to sell sex aids, toys and games to Christians say business is booming, especially from ministers. Stella Hagarty and husband Stan set up the Wholly Love site fully expecting a torrent of criticism, but have had a pleasant surprise, Sky News reported. ‘We have been expecting a storm of protest over what we’re doing, but we’ve had no negative feedback so far,’ said 31-year-old Stella Hagarty. ‘In fact, we’ve had a lot of orders from vicars themselves.’ She told The Sun the site contains no nudity, and does not sell items for bondage or sado-masochism. The site has a banner that says ‘Sex is a great gift from God — we stock products to enhance your sex life,’ and offers lingerie, self-help books and chocolate body paint. Thursday’s tip of the day quoted the Bible: ‘And the bed we share is like a forest glen. We enjoy a canopy of cedars enclosed by cypresses, fragrant and green,’ and concludes with ‘Do it outside!’” — UPI (US)
If you browse through the site whollylove.co.uk, you’ll see that it offers a somewhat watered-down version of the same wares that any sex shop sells. WhollyLove steers away from raunch — there are hardly any dildos on the whole site — to emphasize more of what you might call “sensuality” products: lingerie, massage oils, body paints, games, “Female Climax Cream” (whatever that is!). There are also some user forums where no one posts to the more explicit topics, like those dedicated to vibrators and to homosexuality. The only discussion that seems to have any momentum at all is one dedicated to “How to cope with different sex drives.”
The astonishing thing about all this is not that someone should think to set up a sex shop for Christians. After all, God wants you to have good sex, and Jesus would be here too. No, the surprising thing is just that “business is booming,” given that the shop looks little different than half the others online. This must say less about the Christian faith than about lapses in it — less about piety than about perversity. Evidently you can’t keep a hard man down, as the saying goes, even if he’s a man of God.
Hello there! I also have a christian sex shop Im) I think that if God came up with the idea of sex then as His child I should have the best sex in the world by following His directions. Christians in the past have been tied up with a lot of cultural and “religious” taboos that were not based on Scripture. Although I am an active follower of Jesus Christ, I have found alot of freedom in having a relationship with Him instead of just a religion that imposed taboos that were not actually Bible based. So here is to a Bible based, open minded, exciting life and along with that an exciting love life as well! That is not a lapse in our faith, that is a reflection of God’s children enjoying the things He created for our pleasure!
i agree with Mishael! I am a Christian too and newly married and I am looking for sex toys to share with my husband. The act of sex is not perverted and within marriage, having fun with it is not perverted either. People do pervert things in the same way people pervert the interaction of Barbie and Ken. the author of the article seems to know little about what piety is…particularly when the word piety is never referenced in Scripture, especially in relationship to ask. Author, why don’t you do some actual research on what the Bible actually teaches about sex before you begin to criticize things you don’t understand. You’ve got a lot of work to do.
