Blushing casanovas

Shy Italians? Say it isn't so!


Adult sex toys jostled for space with cotton pads and cough syrup on pharmacy shelves in Rome this week, but a rash of publicity has prompted shopowners to spare the blushes of customers and withdraw them from view, though not from sale.....

..... press photographers trying to snap a picture drew a blank on Friday after pharmacists opted for a more prudent approach, deciding to remove the "toys" from the view of unsuspecting adults searching for more prosaic forms of relief... like Vick's vapor rub.

The offending objects are a phallus-shaped vibrator for females and a stimulating "ring" designed for male pleasure.


It's weird - it's as if the idea of romance is all right, but the idea of sex is not. How did Italians gain a reputation for being so sexy anyways? I have to confess that I don't know a lot of Italian people, but my old friend, who lived there for a while, gave me the impression that most (men) are tied to their Momma's apronstrings.


Happy to be proved wrong though.
