The joy of shopping.......

It's nothing new that the majority of men don't enjoy shopping, but when you walk past a shop such as Ann Summers and ask if you can go in, their eyes suddenly light up.

Obviously, throughout history sex has been popular, but people haven't always been comfortable admitting it. Sex shops used to be the kind of places that people didn't want to be seen in. Nowadays, there's no shame in going in one with your partner or your friends and walking straight to the back where all the 'toys' are stocked. The items on sale in a shop like Ann Summers have become more popular as presents - one of my friends asked me to buy her a 'rampant rabbit' for her birthday.

Unlike the Victorian period, where women were expected to be 'angels of the house' and passive on the subject of sex, today there is an acceptance that women do enjoy sex and are entitled to as much as men without feeling ashamed or embarrased.

In a society where a programme like 'Sex and the City' is so popular, maybe it proves that women in particular feel that there is no shame in taking a healthy, fun attitude towards sex and there is nothing promiscuous in talking about it.........whilst browsing which colour rabbit to choose.......
