Libida were exactly who I was looking for in those early days &#8211; a female-friendly sex toy store who didn&#8217;t have fake vaginas or DVDs of &#8220;Anal Destruction 23&#8221; on the front page. I wanted to offer my female surfers somewhere pleasant to buy good quality sex toys and I always liked their pro-sex attitude.<\/p>\n<p>Libida were very hands-on at the start but I liked that. And now I understand why; they were trying to build an online business with no real precedent to follow. Now they hold their own. I don&#8217;t make heaps of money from Libida as an affiliate, but I&#8217;m happy to promote them because I like what they stand for.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; if you haven&#8217;t been there before, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.libida.com\/content\/shop\/home.php?ref=sfw\">Libida <\/a>and check out why I like them.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mainstream marketing site Marketing Sherpa has an interesting article about how women&#8217;s online sex shop Libida got up and running.
