Chloe Veltman San Francisco Bay Guardian
?When you woke up this morning, you knew that something was
missing in your life,? reads the Divine Interventions Web site. ?It
wasn?t the new car, the new job, the boyfriend or the girlfriend.
But now you know: it?s the Baby Jesus Butt Plug.? Along with Jesus,
Divine Interventions sells Virgin Mary, Buddha, and Devil-shaped
dildoes, as well as offering forums for debate about the religious
icon sex toys, and a space for haikus from satisfied customers.
Despite the toys? novelty, Nigel R., an enviornmental attorney by
day, has had trouble translating his vision into actual sales. Some
have claimed the toys are too flimsy or too expensive, while other
sex toy stores want to avoid offending possible customers. In a
world where most taboos have been broken, mixing sex and religion
in such a blatant way could be one line that many would rather not
cross. Yet as Chloe Veltman notes in the San Francisco Bay
Guardian, ?Perhaps if people could buy a Baby Jesus butt plug over
the counter at Walgreens along with a box of aspirin and a pack of
fruit-flavored condoms, there wouldn?t be so much unhappiness in
the world.?
