Should ads for sex toys be permitted on cable TV? [View all]

I am watching a show on the palladia music channel and there was just an ad for vibrators. I crossed it out because the words were bleeped. But it was mostly clear that it was an ad for an online sex toy service.

Should ads for sex toys be permitted on cable TV? I know that ads for pharmaceuticals are permitted and they are disgusting at best and vulgar at worst. Is this different?
