The Family Planning Association is opening a sex shop. It is launching an online store selling sex toys as part of its drive to break the taboo around sexual enjoyment -- particularly for people who may hope to rediscover or explore their sexuality after
menopause, illness, childbirth or trauma.
The charity's ambassador Dr Dawn Harper said the shop, called FPA Pleasure, would be inclusive and feature blogs, articles and information about sexual health and wellbeing. She said:
As a society we don't talk enough about enjoying sex when you're older, going through menopause, when you've just had a baby, if you have a disability, are recovering from a life-changing illness or have been raped or abused.
The FPA hopes that the online store, which will donate a percentage of profits to the charity, will open up conversations about sex that are normally taboo.
The initial range will have sex toys for men and women, including vibrators, cock rings, massagers and butt plugs. The charity says it is keen to hear from customers about products they would like, particularly ones that are easily to use if you have a
disability.
