Can't find a job? Sell sex toys!
Filed under: Sex Sells, Entrepreneurship
A new survey out of Indiana University found that 53% of women and nearly half of men have used a vibrator at some point in their lives.The New York Times reports that "The researchers attribute the widespread use to easier availability and a cultural shift away from the bad ol' boy, Triple-X-rated sex toy industry. Vibrators are now sold at Wal-Mart, 7-Eleven and CVS; new Internet sites for sex products feature middle-aged models and aim at mainstream couples. Several companies market sex toys to women as young as sorority sisters and as old as postmenopausal golden girls through Tupperware-style home parties."
Did they just say Tupperware-style home parties? With the job market in shambles, "business opportunities" are generating strong interest, but as I recently wrote, they tend to be badly overrated and over-sold.
The sex toys party plan companies may be the more legitimate cousins of MLM. If you think it might be something worth looking into, there are actually a bunch of companies: Pure Romance, Passion Parties and Athena's Goddesses, along with a number of other smaller companies.
For things to look out for when evaluating these kinds of opportunities, be sure to check out Jon M. Taylor's 12 Tests For Evaluating a Network Marketing (MLM) "Opportunity". (It's a PDF File, so it may take a minute load.)

I started my company about three years ago. The main focus was educating women and men about the dangers many adult products pose to your health. All of my products are free of harmful toxins and literally the "best of the best". I recently started www.naughtyanddiscreet.com as a retail site that also offered you the ability to sign up as a virtual consultant and host virtual parties. Feel free to email me or call my toll free number on the site to ask me anything. I have people who just come to the site to buy and women that sign up and host parties online! Either way, I can assure you that my purpose is to educate women and help couples build their romance.

I have hosted these parties in the past but never considered becoming a rep for any of them until I came across Booty Parlor. Booty Parlor was not just another sex toy party but a spa/beauty company that happens to offer fabulous designer toys. Our main focus is on a woman's confidence and sexy lifestyle.
I have had a blast offering this innovative and sexy colleciton to women. I was looking for something to help me reconnect with myself, my confidence and my sex appeal as I approach 40! Booty Parlor has helped me be 40 and Fabulously Sexy from my inner esteem to my outward esteem! It has been an amazing feeling to have strangers tell me that they want what I have - I want the feeling and confidence you have!
My Booty Parlor income has allowed me to keep my girls in the activities they love - sports, competitive cheerleading - without taking funds from our household obligations. Our young company offers you the opportunity to be the first in your area and even your state!
If you want to learn more about the hottest and sexiest collection that celebrities love and how you can be sexy all the way to the BANK, email me at Karla@PinkBlindfold.com or visit my Booty Parlor website at www.BootyParlorParties.com/Karla.
