We’ve all been affected by the economy in one form or another. Heck, the world itself has been affected by this money crunch.
And no one has been hit harder than the French sex toy industry.
No one.
Massage oils, edible underwear, high heeled shoes and “neck massagers” have all seen slumping sales in Gay Paris. People seem to be very scared to spend their money, especially lonely housewives. Many vendors were used to being beneficiaries of the “Checkout Line Phenomena”, in that when someone would visit them to buy one product, they’d usually end up impulsively buying two or three. Now? It’s only that single pleasure pal. Instead, people seem to be going back to basics (so to speak) for their behind-closed-doors-enjoyment.
Perhaps we at Seriously Guys would like to debut a new category: “Sex doesn’t sell.”
