Bread paddles possibly and buggy whips? They may have discovered that they sell well. Although as Old Order Amish eschew use of electric powered items, I doubt the seller is Amish but simply lives in an area where he can buy these items relatively cheaply and has learned that they resell quite well.

It's possible that the maker was raised Amish and decided not to continue as an adult. Now they've decided to slap term on their products, possibly to add to the "taboo" factor.

I don't see how that wouldn't be sublime torture.  What's your point?

Since the Amish are not allowed to have cars..........perhaps this link might give a clue...

Status: offline 		Hello Erin
 
I had a scan through, and there are some items sold by the seller which state *made by another amish friend* so I would assume the seller may not be amish.
 
I don't see a conflict of interests between BDSM and the Amish, just on certain aspects (say using voltage or modern factory equipment).

Status: offline 		FR:  Why would you think being Amish is inconsistent with being into B/D/S/M?   There is nothing in the Amish theology (which is at base conservative mainstream Protestant theology) nor in the Amish "simplicity" code, which would make many aspects of WIIWD unusual.  A fundemental concept of Amish belief is a "submission" to the will of God.  On the submissive's end, how close is that to submission with one's marriage.  From the Wiki article on Amish belief:   "Two key concepts for understanding Amish practices are their rejection of Hochmut (pride, arrogance, haughtiness) and the high value they place on Demut or "humility" and Gelassenheit (German, meaning: calmness, composure, placidity) — often translated as "submission" or "letting-be," but perhaps better understood as a reluctance to be forward, self-promoting, or to assert oneself in any way. "

Indeed, one might argue that in a strongly hierarchical society where power derives from established family or social roles, persons are more likely to import a B/D/S/M "flavor" into interpersonal relationships.  Granted, you are not likely to find polyamorous relationships common (although polyfidelity is not unknown in related Mennonite sects).  And younger Amish are not sexually conservative -- indeed, during rumspringa (the awakening period for older adolescents who are about to decide whether to accept the church as adults), sexual experimentation is pretty much expected (although the major consequence -- pregnancy -- results in marriage and immediate assumption of adult duties.)  Also, given the antipathy to electricity, you probably won't find a lot of electro-sex play.

Status: offline 		Darling,

The thing to remember about the Amish Culture is that it is a culture that has tried to avoid the industrial revolution.  Because of they way they have kept their culture, they are many ways a human version of Pre-raphaelist notion: the construct of seeing what would have happened if nature took a different couse.  In this case, the course is "what if Victorian Puritanical Mania had not taken place."  The idea of sex as evil and unpure comes from the diminutive Monarch who ruled the British Empire until the turn of the last century.   Up until then, sex wasn't something you discussed in public, but sex itself wasn't bad or dirty.  It was a private pleasure.  Until Victoria, part of the marriage talk commonly included advice on how to bring your partner to release, as we know by those cases when such advice was dispensed by letter.

A love  of simplicity and a devotion to that which God has given us do not, by definition, mean the Amish are against sex or that which feels good.   It just means you don't talk about it.  It's private, a matter between a woman and her husband. 

As long as batteries aren't involved, Amish sex toys are an accepted part of the culture, passed from mother to daughters as they marry or from fathers and sons.  The only other thing which is similar in the culture is menstruation cloths.  No one talks about them, especially to children, but they are there becuase they are needed.  They serve their function without fuss or notice.

Amish sex toy isn't the contradiction in terms like Amish video game.
