There is now an "Adult Novelties" shop in my community. [View all]

And I don't know how I feel about that. A while ago, I took a pretty hard line anti-porn stance in a thread here, and a couple of the responses did make me rethink that - it was pointed out to me that it can have its place/role.

So, this shop bothers me in the sense it kind of "brings down" the reputation/character of the neighborhood. It's technically not in my community, it's on the other side of the street that serves as the political boundary between two municipalities. I think that it might attract "the wrong crowd".

I also think I'm probably wrong about all of that, at least in terms of the customers - sure it's frequented by all of the affluent men, and women, who live here in this "upscale" fantasy land of a suburb, where little is actually "real world". But, probably wrong in general?

For the record, I have never been to such an establishment, or an adult club or bar. So, I could be completely wrong.
