Obviously I tended to have a gawk at it but I'm not sure its something kids should be exposed too, picture the conversation "daddy whats that.... well son when two people love each other very much sometimes the dominant partner likes to wrap the submissive in pvc bind them and strap them to the wall, beat them with a riding crop then finish by doing a pee pee in their mouth mind your own business son!"

No need to guess where the little fcukers all hang out on their lunch hour with their free wifi and their half cappo-lattes, they've simply no interest in the over-priced shyte in Ann Summers! :pac: (actually even funnier now I think of it is the Specsavers shop across the road from the Ann Summers shop, it's like they compliment each other! )Dunno what rock you've been living under, but sex is normal in society, has been since time began The days of the bricks and mortar sex shops are numbered anyway with the availability of more choice and better quality products online, and a hell of a lot cheaper too! As another poster already pointed out, this is nothing more than a warehouse for their online sales market. This time next year there won't be a word about it.

But you wouldn't because its not appropriate or normal, sex is only normal when you're with a sexual partner. Whether thats a good thing or not I don't know, but Im just backing up the poster you quoted. Sex isn't normalised in our society, we know everyone does yet we are all secretive about it.

I used to stop by sometimes on my way home from the Wool Shed. It looked like a 1990s XtraVision, with its old smelly carpet, gaudy purple walls, and shelves of raunchy DVDs. It had a revolting smell of sweat, jizz and cheap cologne. At the back of the shop, there was a curious little door that let down into a eerie, cold stone stone basement, where pornos were shown on a rickety old projector and middle-aged men pulled the plums off each other. There was a large, British transexual called Patricia or Deborah or something like that. We talked about Margaret Thatcher. From a nearby school for the deaf, teenagers came to swap used DVDs for new ones. There was a former priest browsing bondage with his Asian boyfriend. There were married taxi-drivers seeking a homosexual rendez-vous. The place was like a comedy of menaces, from the Harold Pinter plays. A cave of lust and squalor. Never been anywhere quite like it. Would recommend it. Just for a look-see.

RTE News sent cameras down and there was dozens of concerned parents protesting outside, backed up by FG politicians. They're outraged that an adult shop is setting up so close to a school and want it shut down. The shop owner responds to them by saying there is nothing in his shop that cannot be found by any child on a smartphone. Drumcondra is home to the Archbishop of Dublin and much of the senior Catholic clergy, I'm sticking the popcorn on for this one :pac:
