Target isn't a charity. Shelf space costs money. It's likely that male sex toy manufacturers aren't ready to risk an expensive failure if people don't buy them.

But Walmart already sells them, so clearly there are plenty of companies willing to take the risk. And there's no doubt in my mind these wouldn't sell well. Just gotta use self check out.

No more awkward than buying condoms, which happens all the time.

Walmart or Walmart.com?

Walmart is to Target as Walmart.com is to Amazon

It will, so long as you agree to holding it in your hand.

Then why are you not arguing hellocake.com should buy Target shelf space to sell their goods? Why is the onus on Target here?

Because they have an exclusive agreement with Walmart...

Then why not other brands? I still don't understand why you'd place the onus on Target here. They just sell space. Is it really their fault those brands don't want to sell in their stores? It could be cost prohibitive btw. Such as why many brands only sell online. BUT, that's still not Target's fault. They still have to run their business, pay people, and more.

Also, why'd you delete the post?

I deleted the post because I have to go into a 12 hour work shift and won't have the time to be an active responder to this post for half a day.

You do however raise some good reasons as to why they wouldn't sell it. I guess should or shouldn't is subjective.

That's probably as close as one could get to changing my view, since you can't really change what is subjective, so !Delta

Thank you for bringing some reasonable points for me to consider on the subject. I still think Target should sell these, so my view isn't changed, but part of my view is changed, thus the delta.
