United Kingdom - April 10th, 2006:

Some English cities such as London, Newcastle and Manchester are starting a new custom that generates a lot of divergent opinions among citizens.

Vending machines such as the ones that usually sell coffee or candy bars that actually sell sex toys. On several nightclubs and bars across these cities, these machines for sex toys are placed in toilets, to offer the customer a bit of privacy and displaying items such as mini vibrators, edible lubricants, massage oil, and other examples of miniaturized sexual paraphernalia.

Managers of several nightclubs explain that the machines are a success among clients. Some people buy items just for a laugh, others to use as a gift, but it’s the third kind of customer that it’s more interesting. Those who are too embarrassed to get a sex toy in an actual sex shop. When sold in an anonymous environment, sex toys hit a different kind of public. Average price for buying items on the sex machines is £5.
