Sex toys for Christians? They’re heating up online stores like Book22 and My Beloveds Garden, where devout couples can browse for everything from “intimacy kits” to lubricants. Book22.com, which sells “edibles,” massage oils and games, was started by Joy Wilson two years ago, according to NPR.com. Discovering she had little desire for sex after having her first baby, Wilson and her husband started shopping for marital aids but found that Internet searches turned up porn sites.
“I was really surprised that it was that bad,” she told NPR.com. So she started her own “sin-free” sex toy business, selling books, toys and even advice. The store’s name is a reference to the Song of Solomon, which makes up the 22nd book of the Bible.
Explaining that she and her husband carefully evaluate products before adding them to the site, Wilson told NPR: “We pray about things before we add them to our site. We live our lives very openly in front of Jesus, so we just kind of pray for direction about which way he would have us go, and I have to be honest with you – he’s really surprised us. Almost our whole entire ’special order’ page has come about from that.” That section features a “weekend adventure kit” and a “sexy Velcro kit.”
At MyBelovedsGarden.net, which hawks everything from lingerie to body jewelry to romance games, there’s also a blog with advice on issues such as how to repair a troubled marriage and how to prevent a partner from having an affair. The site stresses that the products can enhance the quality of a Christ-centered marriage and alludes to the bargains that are available.
