Hmmmm...maybe I am missing the point here. You have a business who wishes
to sell their products over the internet. You have the ability to help the
client do this. I guess the issue is the product itself? Massage oils and
sex aids? I guess all sex therapists, doctors, counsellors etc. must be
doing something wrong or something. These are products used by millions of
people all over the world. Are the products adult in nature? Yep and so are
mortgages, loans and alcohol. Would you have a problem with selling these
kinds of products?
When you think about it, the advertising medium is dripping with sex either
through sales of cars, clothes, music...you name it. Done tastefully it
serves a purpose.
