I bet that will get me some quick but totally irrelevant traffic. Hehehe….sorry people, especially those searching for the actual thing BUT it does have to do with this topic I have in mind.
Quite a couple of years ago, I did walk into the actual House Of Condoms in Penang. And if memory serves me right, it was either in Prangin Mall or One-Stop in Pulau Tikus. Then again, it could both be the wrong place but rest assured that this place existed, don’t know if it’s still standing or not la.
Anyway, when I paid that place a visit, I saw the works! You name it, they had it…from dolls to toys and of course, numerous types of condoms - you’d have a tough time even picking which color you wanted! Then it got raided and everything except the condoms were confiscated. I bet I know who had a whole lot of darn kinky sex over decent period of time, eh? *hint hint* Anyway, the whole place lost a lot of interesting things as that was what was in the news and I guess, a place just full of condoms can’t possibly be THAT interesting right? I wouldn’t really know coz I never went there again but it did strike a thought in my mind. What’s wrong with owning sex toys? I mean seriously…..if it makes your sex life more interesting and happening, what could possibly be wrong with it??
Please feel free to correct me but I think even adult magazines like Playboy and Penthouse aren’t allowed into Malaysia right? If you try to bring in it, I think it will get confiscated at customs, if they find it that is. I say this because someone offered me a ‘business’ proposition - a very dodgy one mind you. When I first made my way out here for a holiday, a friend of mine told me to get a bunch of Playboy magazines and bring it back for him because he wanted to sell it here and he knew that he could make a big buck out of it and I bet he would have since it is banned here. I think anything that is banned here and is available for purchase through other methods is a sure-deal money making scheme. I guess when such a taboo thing is up for grabs, who wouldn’t grab it, right? Typical human nature….
Anyway, I refused him flat out because I just couldn’t imagine the malu-ation I’d be put through if I got caught and there was no way I was going to risk it no matter what. Can you imagine being pulled aside and then the contains of your bag spilt out and out comes a whole bunch of dirty mags???? OMG…..just shoot me, why don’t you! But funny enough, I don’t think I would feel as bad if I had to unpack and I had the lot with me here because of how people deal with such things. I mean it’s no biggie here at all. You can get all the adult magazines you want under the sun, at the local news agent and even my bookclub sells a couple of kinky sex toys too. I mean it’s really NOTHING at all but haiyoo…..back home, sheesh….Hedo is a VERY lucky girl! 
But isn’t it bizarre….? Did you ever wonder why the government bans such things? I do and I don’t think there is anything out there explaining why adult magazines and toys are banned. If you know of any document out lining why sex toys and adult magazines are banned in Malaysia, please let me know - I would like to read it. Perhaps because they are banned that people go way out of their way to get their hands on it. Like I said earlier on, if something is able to make life better, no matter what it is, why ban it? I know that to a certain extend, sex can be a taboo subject but let’s get real la, it’s a very hot topic of conversation and action from ages 15 years onwards ok? Don’t pretend as if it isn’t….didn’t most of you find the first chapter of science in form 3 the most interesting? By the way, this was back then when all subjects were taught in BM, ok? Don’t even get me started about the kids here - it’s quite a worry, REALLY. And despite that, toys and adult magazines are openly being sold. On the other hand, back home, the same thing is happening too BUT no toys or such magazines are being sold openly. In fact, I don’t think such things are being sold at all, at least not openly la.
So why the ban?
