Sex sells, even in Boston... well, near Boston

This was on an email newsletter I receive:

Good Vibrations to Buzz in Brookline, Mass.

One of the more fun stores that carries books as a sideline is opening a branch on the East Coast.

Good Vibrations, which has three stores in the Bay Area in California and the motto "promoting sexual health and pleasure since 1977," will begin humming on January 20 in the Coolidge Corner part of Brookline, near Boston (and within cuddling distance of the Brookline Booksmith).

Carol Queen, who has a Ph.D. and is the Good Vibration's staff sexologist, said she is "thrilled that we have finalized our new location and will be able to open before Valentine's Day."

The company, which carries books, sex toys, personal care products and specializes in "accurate sexual information," noted that there are more than 400,000 college students in the Boston area. As in the Bay Area, the company aims to work in partnership with local colleges and universities to provide "up-to-date sexual education."
