    Not the wisest name for a site featuring adult products...

    I can't believe this... either they are completely stupid or they're using the name to get traffic.

    (Don't worry, there's nothing questionable there...)

    From their FAQ

    2. How will my order appear on my credit card statement?
    Your order will appear as "CP Pleasures" on your credit card statement.

    i did a double-take when I saw the gay bar in Sandusky, Ohio advertising "CP Night" at the bar, until I remembered that it was just the locals' abbreviation for Cedar Point, the big roller coaster park located there.

    I gotta say, "CP night" at a gay bar, regardless of what it means, is probably in bad taste.

    Yes. Although, in fairness, they probably weren't aware of the double meaning. And CP could just as easily stand for something like "Couch Potato". But your sign is cool :-)

    You do realize by 'gay' I mean a man who has sex with other men?

    'CP' is also a term used in the BDSM community 'Corporal Punishment' although to be fair, i have only ever seen 2 adult websites use the term 'CP' for this due to its alternate meaning in the industry

    Is "CP" really all that common a term? I always figured it was something only ever used on boards like this one. So as to avoid having the full phrase written out and thus causing the board to show up on search engine searches for such a thing.

    I never heard of the term CP before reading this post.
    Now I know.

    I think I remember reading an article that among those who are into such materials that it is referred to as "CP" and, in fact, one can search for that term and find said materials.

    BTW, I believe that the sign above actually comes from Cedar Point

    Even if you didnt know about its other meaning, why would print the name of a sex toy store on someones credit card statement?

    A little off topic but I always wondered the same thing about the guys at ST calling their licenses "child's". Maybe it's a software term that I am unfamiliar with.
