Grocery stores absolutely sell sex toys now. Wal-Mart carries them as well.

I'm no prude, but it's really weird to me.

I was in Belgrade aiport duty-free a few days ago and there was a Lelo stand in amongst the usual cosmetics. "Fly in Pleasure", definitely got a laugh out of me.

Personally I think this is a good thing.

I'm curious how do you define "prude". My definition of it would be to be highly sensitive to sexual things, which is basically why you'd be weirded at seeing them in a daily place, for better or worse.

On their presence in the first place, I'd say if a shop is going to sell condoms and lubricant, also holding basic sex tools isn't a big stretch.

Why? Those same stores have sold lube, condoms, and Trojan's vibrators since the 90's. Walmart has sold lingerie since they existed.
They've also sold personal massagers that were used as (and sometimes quietly designed as) sex toys for many years, too.
Why? Why is it weird that large box stores like Walmart and target that literally sell everything, also sells vibrators?
Seems like you are a bit of prude :) No shame there, you are fully entitled to your opinion in democracy
