Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Adult Toys

I think someone is making a huge and (probably intentionally) erroneous assumption as to who such items are marketed towards.Or maybe the person is just not familiar with the marketing trend of exploiting childhood nostalgia to market adult oriented products?The LEGO architecture series. I am not sure how many children will want to play with sets depicting famous buildings. In Lego parlance they are not very "swooshable", and are pretty much designed to sit on a shelf or desk.Resin cast figurine. Looks like an action figure, but will break if you try to play with it. Made to be collected and looked at. Also usually way more expensive than traditional action figure toys. RC Avengers helicarrier. NOT safe for kids. Those fans can remove a finger, and have no safety cage. It also takes a fair bit of skill to pilot.Thought about putting in an image of cartoon themed "adult toys" here, then thought better of it. The first search returned way more graphic content that would be appropriate for this answer, so if you want to see examples you will have to do the search yourself. Needless to say such items are NOT marked at kids despite the (very unofficial) brand association."Nerf" AR-15. Real gun, nostalgic paint job. Like the other products and projects above it is aimed at adults who like memories of their childhood, not at actual children. In addition none of these have official brand association. They are all one-off custom projects by individual creators, often to showcase their skill or products.Are you seriously going to argue that the above examples are "marketed towards children" just because they have branding associated with children's toys? Because if that is your argument you have a ton of rationalization to do, especially for the "adult toys" section. Certainly quite a few toys aimed at adults are safe for use by children, even if they are not the target audience, but quite a few are most definitely not. Firearms fit into the "definitely not" category, for obvious reasons.Now, I will say there are guns marketed to adults but for use by children. The chipmunk rifle. A youth sized single shot firearm with about a dozen safety features. Use to teach youngsters firearms safety and skill. Explicit for use with adult supervision and tutelage. They even come with a manual detailing good training protocol.Such rifles are actually fairly common in firearms households that have children. I myself have such a rifle on the "to buy" list for my son as soon as he is old enough to be able to learn to shoot. These are an excellent tool for the job they are intended to fill, and anyone interested in training youth in safe firearms handling should have one in the inventory.But there is no such firearm that has "toy" style branding. They are all styled to look like full sized firearms as much as possible. Honestly I think question like this are meant to be inflammatory. It is a naked attempt to marginalize the firearms community by making them seem so far outside mainstream norms as to be easily vilified as totally unreasonable. In short is is the slander of an entire subculture but making an unsubstantiated accusation that cannot really be defended against. Such attacks degrade the conversation, and actively divide the factions, and make it impossible to find common ground. These types of questions are counterproductive to finding a common understanding. It shows the side making the accusation is not interested in finding that common ground and is actually more intent on destroying their opponents, even if they have to use lies to do so. This is also why there cannot be compromise between the two sides. How can you compromise (or even hold a discussion) with someone who is using lies to vilify you, falsely representing something that is common to other areas of the culture as unique to you and completely and obviously offensive to everyone else? That is not a recipe for common understanding. Quite the opposite actually, all it does is server to drive a wedge and make actual discussion impossible. If you goal is not to find common ground but actually to marginalize and destroy your opponent in any way possible this makes sense. Especially if said opponent is capable of winning the argument on fair ground using provable facts. If such is the case resorting to character assignation and lies is really the only tenable strategy. But just because it is the only effective strategy does not make it moral or acceptable. In fact it should call into question the very principles by which that side stands. If lies are an acceptable solution to a failure to win on the merits, then maybe that side does not deserve the consideration they demand. Food for thought.

2. Why is it better to shop online than shopping in shops?

Hello,There are couple of benefits of Online Shopping Given below is my list of 10 reasons why it is better than conventional shopping.Convenience. The convenience is the biggest perk. Where else can you comfortably shop at midnight while in your pajamas? There are no lines to wait in or shop assistants to wait on to help you with your purchases, and you can do your shopping in minutes. Online shops give us the opportunity to shop 24/7, and also reward us with a 'no pollution' shopping experience. There is no better place to buy informational products like e-books, which are available to you instantly, as soon as the payment goes through. Downloadable items purchased online eliminate the need for any kind of material goods at all, as well, which helps the environment!Better prices. Cheap deals and better prices are available online, because products come to you direct from the manufacturer or seller without middleman being involved. Many online shops offer discount coupons and rebates as well. Apart from this, online shops are only required to collect a sales tax if they have a physical location in our state, even if we buy from a store across the world.More variety: The choices online are amazing. One can get several brands and products from different sellers all in one place. You can get in on the latest international trends without spending money on airfare. You can shop from retailers in other parts of the country, or even the world, all without being limited by geography. A far greater selection of colors and sizes than you will find locally are at your disposal. Apart from that, the stock is much more plentiful. Some online shops even provisions in place to accept orders for items out of stock and ship it when the stock becomes available. You also have the option of taking your business to another online store where the product is available.You can send gifts more easily. Sending gifts to relatives and friends is easy, no matter where they are. Now, there is no need to make distance an excuse for not sending a gift on occasions like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and so forth. Fewer expenses. Many times, when we opt for conventional shopping, we tend to spend a lot more than planned. There are other outside expenses on things like eating out, transportation, and let's not forget impulse buys!Price comparisons. Comparing and researching products and their prices is so much easier online. Also, we have the ability to share information and reviews with other shoppers who have firsthand experience with a product or retailer.No crowds. If you are like me, you hate crowds when you're shopping. Especially during festivals or special events, they can be such a huge headache. Also, it tends to be more chaotic when there are more crowds out and this sometimes makes us feel rush or hurried. Grumpy, annoying, and smelly people also annoy me when I'm out shopping. Plus, parking becomes a huge issue. All of these problems can be avoided when you shop online. Less compulsive shopping. Often times when we're out shopping, we end up buying things compulsively that we don't really need. All because shop keepers pressure us or use their selling skills to compel us to make these purchases. Sometimes, we even compromise on our choices because of the lack of choices in those shops. Buying old or unused items at lower prices. The marketplace on the Internet makes it much easier for us to buy old or unused things at rock bottom prices. Also, if we want to buy antiques, there's no better place to find great ones. Discreet purchases are easier. Some things are better done in the privacy of your home. Online shops are best for discreet purchases for things like adult toys, sexy lingerie, and so on. This enables me to purchase undergarments and lingerie without embarrassment or any paranoia that there are several people watching me.
