Hopefully this is not too far off topic .. here goes
Have you noticed how all the really good kink providers are all European? Whether we are talking estim or vacuum suits, you can be sure that when you search for the best in class, it will be from a European manufacturer. You just don't find that sort of dedication to their craft in the Americas. Oh sure, Toronto has great shops, as does New York and San Francisco, but when it comes right down to it, the producer of the best kink products are always in the UK, Germany or some other European country. With the market for many of these products being somewhat niche, it is often possible to deal directly with the manufacturer. At that point is usually when you get a new appreciation for the dedication that the European's have for their kinky endeavors.
Bravo, to all the European kink manufacturers. Now I am off to look into a bit of SeriousKit!
Yeah, the Europeans have always had a healthy, open-minded attitude to sex and kink. Not so much here in Britain, where we tend to keep things behind closed doors. Sex toys started to appear here in the UK from the late 1960's when the first Sex Shops opened selling kink toys and gear from mainland Europe - mainly Holland and Germany. However we Brits did invent 'Dogging', car sex in late night car parks eagerly watched through the windows by masturbating voyeurs.
Mainstream porn movies have been widespread in Britain and Europe since the 1960's. They weren't freely made in America until the mid-70's, and even then were pretty tame compared to what you could get over here. The best porn back in those days came from Holland where they had no censorship laws whatsoever.
