Manchester less manly?

LONDON (Reuters) - Organizers of a major erotic
festival are closing for business in Manchester due to
a lack of interest, which they blame on recalcitrant
northern English men.

Erotica Manchester opened on Friday, selling a range
of sex aids, clothing and footwear, but ticket sales
have been poor and organizers say they will not be
coming back.

"We've tried to warm this city up for more than two
years but northerners just haven't responded in
sufficient numbers," said event director Savvas
Christodoulou.

"They are happy enough to come to our London event in
the autumn but they seem embarrassed about being seen
at Erotica Manchester."
Organizers said their research shows northern women
wanted to attend the three-day adult show but were
"under the thumb of their other halves."

"We thought Manchester was an open minded city but
maybe we were wrong," a spokesman for the event told
Reuters. "People flock to our show in London but it
seems that up here, the traditional northern male
still calls the shots."

Well what the hell is wrong with these guys? LOL

I guess the idea of having your neighbors watch you buy your sex toys doesn't appeal to some people, doesn't mean they're less "manly", in my opinion.

I certainly wouldn't want my neighbors (well, except maybe one lol) seeing if I got the blue dildo with the vibrating egg or the pink jelly one with strap on attachment :D lol

there are alot of shops you can buy the same stuff in manchesterand i have yet to see any go out of buisness in fact there are more than ever the Erotica Manchester
must be doing something wrong i did not notice mutch in the way of advertising for
this event dont blame the customer for you inability to sell your wares
