The worst kept secret in town, the unofficial porn CD haven, Palika Bazaar is where you need to take a stroll if you want to buy a porn CD and adult toys. The range of these toys includes vibrators and strap-on dildos. The hottest selling of these toys are inflatable dolls. The brisk sale of these toys indicates that a huge market exists for them. Several countries have enacted laws to ban the use of these toys. In India, these toys are banned, which begs the question whether such a ban is justified, in a country where the biggest challenge is controlling population and propagating safe sex.

Experts such as Dr. Prakesh Kothari, professor of sexual medicine at Mumbai’s KEM Hospital, questions the ban on sex toys, calling it “pseudo-moralistic”. Despite a ban, these toys are widely available at Fort in Mumbai, and Palika Bazaar in Delhi.
