A long article, and of course, like all articles, not for everyone. But, some people will enjoy some parts of it -- and, not like other parts of it. This was my favorite part of the article:

Brewer, a high-school dropout [...] earns a six-figure income.... [She] heaved a wistful sigh. ''There are times I've really wanted to go back to school,'' she said. ''I hear people speak so eloquent, with all the big vocabulary words, and I feel so inadequate.'' She started the ignition. ''But the thing is,'' she said, ''I'll bet you I know as much as some guy who went to college for seven or eight years. About women and their sensuality, I mean. I might not have the tremendous vocabulary that they have, but I know, in my heart, that I have the same knowledge."

Gee, X-rated Amway, who'd of thunk.

[Senator Pardek]

I hear people speak so eloquent

Eloquently.

[Paul Atreides]

She jokes about how a man's doing dishes can be a form of foreplay;

Yeah, right!

[SouthernFreebird]

Sooooooo does she have an online store...just askin

[NewRomeTacitus]

Vocabulary is good, but with less an less people around me able to speak any English at all I don't browbeat a person unable to express more than monosyllabic conversation. It's all about how we use the intelligence we have.

Brewer, a high-school dropout [...] earns a six-figure income...

outsourcing can't be far off

[suijuris]

[...] earns a six-figure income....

A six figure income driving 50,000 miles and retailing $140,000 of sex toys? What's the wholesale cost and markup of this stuff? Something doesn't sound quite right to me.

Why aren't you here yet???

[narses]

Ping. Speechless ping.

Almost all were married and had been since their early or mid-20's; most had children; and most went to church every Sunday, though that's not how they met: a core group plays Bunco, a dice game, once a month.

And now they play Naked Twister!

The writer was certainly titillated with the notion that Christian women who read the Bible could also be passionate wives who are comfortable with their sexuality and enjoy marital relations.

[Long Cut]

I hope you've got at least one pair of flame-retardent undies in with the edibles...FR's Morality Police Contingent should be here shortly.

ANY suggestion that sex can be just for fun sends them into a tizzy of Biblical quotations, screeds about EVIL, and cries for a resumption of the Inquisition.

I'm NOT exaggerating.

In any case, this is some funny stuff right here. God Bless 'Em I say!!!

[L.N. Smithee]

And Brewer, who once had a perfect attendance record in Sunday school, who often evokes God in conversation and whose husband embraced the Baptist faith about a decade ago, hasn't once set foot in church since she began selling sex toys. In fact, on the day Ernest was baptized, she was doing one of her shows in Hot Springs.

''I don't need to go through the church doors every Sunday to know who my higher power is,'' Brewer said. ''If I go now. . . . '' She trailed off. ''I'll go to where these people, who don't want to speak to me, who don't approve of what I do, will feel obligated to speak to me.''

That's sad. Here's Hebrews 10:24, 25:

---

24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another--and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

---

If Brewer considers herself to be a Christian, and her business is getting in the way of her being part of a Christian community, maybe she should reconsider her priorities.

"...vibrators, in short, that do everything except sort your laundry and file your tax returns."

Bet they don't carry out the garbage either!

[bayourod]

My last girlfriend was into viberators and male/male videos.

That was fine with me except I hated coming home from work and finding that the TV clicker didn't work, all of the clocks in the house were stopped, and I couldn't take my shoes off for fear of stepping on dead batteries.

[streetpreacher]

the Vietnam War was the big thing -- they were over there killing babies

Moron. Who is this, Kerry's Presstitute Secretary?

Ernest Brewer, who dug water wells... first time in her life, she understood what it meant to experience sexual satisfaction.

I'm not even going to comment on the possibilities of that statement.

And my absolute favorite:

''I want to see Oprah so bad,'' she said. ''I just want to see her and touch her and tell her how much she did for the women of America ...''

Yeah, real family values type gal; can see why she can't find in herself to go back to church...

[Centurion2000]

interesting.

[Jeff Gordon]

Pure fiction. Everyone knows that women do not enjoy sex. :-)

[GatorGirl]

I've thrown alot of home parties...Pampered Chef, Southern Living, Creative Memories, etc....but the one time I threw a Pleasure Party, I must have had forty women lined up to shop in the "private room". I'm telling you I've never seen anything like it! It was hilarious!

;-) GG

[jnarcus]

And your point is? This hardly qualifies as breaking news when so much other stuff is going on in the world. Godd for this lady that she has an honset business and seems to be very successful at it....other than that I suggest you are titilated by the subject's salacious nature when in truth many married couples use sex toys for enjoyment.
