Just based on information from the Internet, I've written articles on the move toward green, and at least one on phthalates, but this (yours) is the first I've read which really establishes a timeline and organizes the data so that the reader feels he got started somewhere, came to the present, and has a perception about where the sex toy world is likely to go.

I have a sex toy site, http://MyRacyToybox.com, and we have not yet started to reduce the number of supposedly less acceptable products, but we have new restrictions on the products we are putting up for sale for the first time. As you say, it doesn't really matter what is the truth, because sales trends will be based on the growing public perception fueled by the media.

This article forced to think over usage of today's available sex toys. People have a great concern about which sex toy is safer to use. The most of them buy phtalate- free adult toys, because they are cheaper than toys from other material, for example silicone sex toys or glass sex toys. And there is only uncertainty. The scientists are arguing about this issue. They recommend to use a condom over many phtalate-containing sex toys.

I would recommend the silicon or glass sex toys also. Ease of use with a condom and easier to clean. It is noce to see sex toys being talked about more and no longer taboo.

I was surprised not to see Lisa Lawless, Ph.D. mentioned in this article who runs Holistic Wisdom, Inc. Their company has been one of the most prominent companies for the education of toxins in sex toys and has a list of all the materials that are used in sex toys on their site. They also started the National Association for the Advancement of Science and Art in Sexuality which has a whole educational program geared toward professionals in the industry as many are not informed. Even your article has something that was questionable as it mentioned the smell of Phthalates. What your readers may not know is that Phthalates do not have a smell and something that has a strong smell is not an indicator of the presence of Phthalates.
