once we can come to a consensus we can share this valuable knowledge with the world at large.

So...after thinking about it...the word, no. Object, yes. But why the object? It's not a body part - it's a machine. Is it used for personal gratification? Absolutely, but so can your fingers and your tongue, among other body parts - are we to M-rate those as well? What about the odd cucumber? _____________________

I think "Juro" should be M-rated. You cannot silence me! Well, you can - but that would definately require M-activities - and even then, it's more of a 'muffled' instead of silence.  _____________________

LL should have changed the name to Tampon instead of Darling. It's just a word. The device is very useful, too. If someone reacts to that moniker hovering over your avatars head and considers you to be anything other than a mature adult, they need to grow up.

Course, so are cucumbers, but they can HURT. Or so I've heard. Not from personal experience, I tell ya! That's my story and I'm stickin to it! The above parts & food in question have OTHER uses. A dildo only has one. Hence why the object should be M. I don't want a 2-year-old playing with it as a toy, nor find my 13-year-old doing the same. Then again, I don't HAVE a teenager...or any children....but I have my share of neices/nephews/cousins/etc. Same principal. I stand by my original post. Word is okay, object is mature. Snarf! |

They are very nicely crafted art pieces that do double duty as dildos - so does that make them PG or M? To expand this further, what about lube? Is that PG or M? What about g-strings or lingerie? I just think that its crazy that we make more work for ourselves by deeming things inappropriate for general consumption, when it doesn't need to be so. That's not to say one should go around showing kids adult materials or loaning out your Hello Kitty vibrator, but certainly we can be more mature (!) about the subject. _____________________

Im glad someone agrees with me... I keep tellin the guys in the shop to quit raceing the dildos across the shop floor but noooooo all I hear is "Beady is in the lead be a head! BZZZZZZZ"
FYI Some jokester thought it would be funny to order a box of assorted dildos and ship it to our shop and was addressed to us... well the guys find the humor in them... well they do make funny paper weights when the city inspecter comes by on our off days... We loose more inspecters that way... Yes Dildo is a Mature word in a cence but only becouse there referd to by the mature action thet there used for mainly.... I mean if sumone had named bread dildo insted when it was first made then we wouldent call it bread... if that makes any cence becouse it dont to me and im the one saying it... _____________________

Gee, Gorilla, you made me laugh for about 5 minutes! Maybe LL will change Darling's name to Paperweight.

A guy could get a complex from having a name like Dildo. Even if the name sounds close to Dildo.
