Toys in Babeland
Yesterday was a day of meetings, and what I realized after the day was over was that each of them prompted me to chat about porn and other forms of sexual marketing as a social enterprise.
This may sound a bit outre to some, but as I observed (again and again) yesterday, you can see the sex biz following an arc akin to comics and even nonprofit law--they have historically been regarded as junk media, yet, as junk media tend to do, they all presaged a seismic cultural shift.
The nature of that shift and how it takes shape in a various forms is a matter to unfold throughout the summer--deadlines, etc., this week, mean I still have to keep things brief (ba dum bump), so for now, a fun story that reflects what's going on.
Brooklyn's Park Slope is, as the headline says, an "upscale child-friendly neighborhood" whose cup overrunneth with kids. New to the burg: Babeland, an NYC sex shop, a development that has prompted some folks to ask unintentionally funny questions as to whether it's appropriate for sex to be so visible in a place where there are so many children.
Mirabile dictu, local parents have by and large responded favorably to Babeland, making the obvious connection between erotic play and maternity wear.
Part of the reason for this reaction no doubt lies in the way that Babeland markets itself as a social enterprise, with educational classes and overt references to social responsibility. Yet that in itself points to the deeper shift. For the emerging majority in this country, all forms of sexual expression can be moral acts.
