Thai officials raid 'aphrodisiac', sex-toy vendors

[deecee10]

So which is the real dick and which one is the fake one?

[Estrada]

There is a sex toy shop in Seacon Square shopping mall. Never seen that raided!

[Songhua]

City official to his wife at the dinner table : sorry dear, didn't confiscate any money or luxury items today,

but we sure gonna have fun tonight with what we caught today...

Wife: 'What did the mia noi think of it this afternoon?'

[Carl64]

Ahhhh Thailand, the only place in the world where it is harder to buy a sex toy than it is to get a hooker!

[GuyL]

I've bought some of those possibly fake Viagra pills before. They gave me a possibly fake erection.

And then, you had sex with a katoey (fake woman) with fake boobs and who faked an orgasm, but it didn't matter much because you paid him with counterfeit money?

[johnefallis]

There aren't too many places in the world where a public official is happy to have his photo taken while holding a dildo.....classic!!!.

"LOOK! I finally have a dick! (official holds WMD for news crews)

[phitsanulokjohn]

In the land of sex,sex toys illegal just like prostitution.Don't make me laugh my lips are chapped.

[Bagwan]

Emm well only another 65 billion places to raid

Every Thai owns, on average, a thousand sex shops?

[bangon04]

I guess these knobs will be in lower Sukhumvit later on today, then.

Plenty of photo ops., to be had there.

sent from my hippo phone

Of course not... ThongLor Police and KhlongToei Police are far better organised in their supply chain. No glitches in Sukhumvit for sure... a well greased machine..

[TomAikins]

If they want to confiscate a bunch of this stuff then why don't they just go to Sukhumvit Road?

[upena]

Guess these guys don't know where Sukhumvit Road is

He probably has plenty of practice as most Thai public officials are dildos.

More spare pr*cks than dildoes maybe. Dildos are inanimate objects and it may be a tad OTT to describe a member of BIB a such. Most would argue that Thai cops form part of the animal kingdom, although some even go so far as to say that they haven't been walking upright for very long. BTW you can pick up a cheap spare pr*ck at any sex reassignment clinic.

No need to make them illegal. Just limit the size of the allowed dildos. You all know why....

[philliphn]

Relax their are plenty of them!

[siampolee]

Great shame that the police seem unable or unwilling to act and stamp out the sale of pedophilia and general pornographic movies that are openly on sale in Bangkok in the assorted night market stall.

Now I wonder why that is ?

Maybe his 1st wife found out about his second wife and he is holding the "real thing".

Why should "Training VDOs" not be allowed?

Limit the size, put 'em in a jar and enjoy them later in a sandwich.

[sgtsabai]

If I had a Lao mia noi that likes for us to play with other women and took her to Bangkok and Sin City (Pattaya) to see the 'bright lights' she might have said when seeing the vibrators "I don't want that big one, I want small one, just like you" and the vendor might have started laughing. But seeing as how I don't have, and didn't pay 400 baht for a smaller one, that never really happened. My story and I'm sticking to it.

[retell]

well that's nice first they want to promote the use of latex products

so they better make those toys legal and make a pledging scheme so everybody can afford them

[Fullstop]

Isn't there a park in Bangkok somewhere with giant penis statues? Why aren't they "seized" and burned?

[MikeENZ]

What I don't get is that dildos are considered obscene and illegal to sell, while lingams are religous objects and a tourism spot...

(Phra Phan Nga, Krabi)

Personally I don't care either way, just another in the long list of double standards..

[Frank James]

I've seen a lot of funny pictures on this TV site, but that one with the cop holding the dildo is an all time classic!

I thought my own country, the USA could not be topped in hypocrisy when it comes to things sexual. That is, they absolutely drown you with sexual imagery in the mass media, and then cluck-cluck when some prominent public figure gets caught in a compromised sexual situation. Somebody's always heating up the branding iron to burn a letter "A" into your forehead if you get caught acting upon your baser impulses.

Here, as others have noted sex permeates the atmosphere in Bangkok/Pattaya/Phuket, and any guy still breathing can get all the sex he can pay for. But sex toys and all of the assorted "novelties" depicted in this phony "raid" are considered indecent and illegal.

Meanwhile, back in the USA, such items are now mainstream, and sex toy shops are all over the place.

As for generic sildenifil (sp?), most of it is just as effective as the obscenely priced "V" and "C" Big Pharma brands. Two bucks a tab at any pharmacy in Thailand.

That's about fertility and spirituality.

Dildos are about female (and gay male) sexual pleasure.

Your logic is as non existent as a Thais ... but thanks for answering my rhetorical question.

What's wrong with my logic? They (the religious shrine vs. the sex toys) represent and in fact ARE different things.

Maybe you need more explanation. In many traditional cultures, female sexual pleasure is a threat to the paternalistic power structure.

A dick with a dick , with a dick

[mca]

There are at least 5 of these same vendors along lower Sukhumvit and each seems to have its own local police men protecting them!

Dildos guarding dildos
