Louis and I encountered this lovely vending device on a pit stop along the E45 near to Citta di Castello on the way to visit my darling Matilda earlier this month.
Here she is as a kitten:
Edited to remove the words for the act of love and material in various forms that depicts this act so my ads will not eb blocked:
So how it works is this: trucker pulls up to the rest stop. He buys a strong coffee to keep him awake and a plastic card from the cashier to prove that he's over 18. He pays, knocks back his espresso and leaves, stopping at this handy kiosk on the way to his truck. At the kiosk he chooses the flavor of "stimulation aid" that is to his taste and the format of its delivery (book? magazine? DVD?) and retrieves it from the hinged door at the bottom. This really underscores the differences in how we Americans and the Italians view "racy material" and "the act of love". Happy trucker or business traveler sets off merrily knowing he has his delicious, sordid treat to look forward to! Happy trails!
