\"image\"<\/a>A pop-up sex store in Cuba is pushing back against the Communist-run country’s ban on selling sex toys. The pop-up includes handcrafted dildos<\/a> and other supposedly \u201ctaboo\u201d sex toys. While Cubans pride themselves on being very sexually liberal, many are close-minded regarding sex toys, according to the sex toy pop-up’s artists.<\/p>\n

The distribution of anything deemed obscene is banned in Cuba, and there are no sex shops or licenses available to sell sex toys, leaving Cubans with no other choice than to import toys in their suitcases and sell them in secret. For the pop-up, the artists created translucent \u201cphallic sculptures\u201d in an array of colors from pink to green, some containing wordplay on official Cuban slogans like \u201cUntil Victory, Always.\u201d Scarce and expensive resources in Cuba meant they had to use entwined fish line for whips and resin for dildos. \u201cWe want to break the taboos,\u201d said the artists. \u201cIn the rest of the world, this is normal now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Want to break sexual taboos? Come be sexually liberal right here at NiteFlirt<\/a>!<\/p>\n
