Have you ever visited an adult store?

[AmandaYVR]

I have. No big deal. A few times in my life I guess. Only remember the last couple which were with my husband.
I don't think I've ever bought anything that way. Online instead.
The Hustler store on Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles (well, West Hollywood) is the only one really worth seeing, in my opinion. It's a bit less trashy and has gorgeous big windows overlooking Sunset.Apparently Gwyneth Paltrow and her investors bought the space but that was in 2015 and the store still seems to exist.

it feels weird greeting the workers there but most if the time they don’t care who u are and are actually very welcoming. you’ll end up feeling more comfortable if you’re there with a friend or your lover even just to see what they have :) don’t be shy just go!

I've been alone and with my lady. We had a great time.

Yes plenty of times I hear lots of stories about those places how if you live the door unlock that men will come in and if they like you they will stay with you and your all know what happened next and if your very gorgeous and dress up very sexy you might get some money. So the very first time I went there it was a dare so I did it but I was very curious and excited about going I didn't care about the Dare I just cared about going. I was wearing a white sexy teddy white garter belt with white thigh high stockings and my 8 inch platform high heels and that's it be side a long jacket. So I got into a booth and I took off my jacket put some money into the machine and they video started playing I started changing channels till I found one I want to see it wasn't long before the door open and this man came in and pick me up so he can sit down and he put my on his lap. He started rubbing my legs and kissing my neck then we started kissing his hands started touching other parts of my body and I did the same. It was very dark in there I couldn't really see who he was and he couldn't really see me either. Well after we got done he asked me if I wanted to go back with him to his house cuz his wife was out of town I said I would love to the video finish and the light turn on a little bit I couldn't believe who is was and he couldn't believe who I was we both couldn't believe what we just do together. It was my brother in law. He looked at me and said we did it already so do you want to go to my house for the rest of the weekend with me so you can be my little girlfriend well your sister is out of town. I said I would love to be this would have to be are little secret.

In 1978, I relocated to Rutland Vermont where upon the VT job service found me employment with a Rhode Island Mafia 'shell corporation' "VT Books" as Manager of Rutland's only adult bookstore... I took it as an opportunity for community education.

Later I was promoted to manage the state's then ONLY 'gentlemen's club' for exotic dancers, 'Studio 'C' II. BOTH were insightful, enjoyable experiences~ Neither were overtly sites for prostitution. (The average citizen doesn't understand the strictures of 'territories'. If you're chartered to 'sell' fantasies, One doesn't
cross another's francised 'vices' without DIRE consequences)

'Ladies Only' male revue nights at Studio C II were especially 'enlightening'~ Myself, my Bouncer, the Doorman and the male revue dancers were the ONLY males in a small club with a posted occupancy of 300. ;)

my wife and I go to them often... we dont feel anything other than we are no diifferent than a lot of other people who go to them... and we also know that no matter what we take up to the counter to purchase, there have been several other people who have made the same move sometime before us, so there is no reason to feel embarrassed in any way...
we kind of feel proud that we have the nerve and desire to purchase and experiment with things that so many people are embarrassed of, or are ashamed of having someone know they even think thoughts like that...

[FictionalCharacter]

At the mall Spencer’s has adult items. Everyone in different age looks at the adult stuff.

[Legacy95]

I went to one when I was 14 the guy I was babysitting for used to tease me all the time about how sexy I was so I asked him if he would buy me a vibrator. He said he would but I had to go with him so I could show him the size I wanted it was funny the two of us looking at 6

[personwew]

Went with a few friends to buy a joke gift, otherwise no

Absolutely fascinating the stuff they had though. I remember they had this rubber gnome comparable to the size of a regular garden gnome which you were supposed to... insert... which, if you ask me, seems like wishful thinking to assume that's gonna fit anywhere

They also had metal rods and shit which you were intended to insert into the penis hole. Just the idea of it hurts, and seeing it in a box for purchase wasn't any better

[Inexpensivefurniture]

Twice. The first time I went with a friend and I did end up buying something. The second time was with a partner I was dating at the time and we both bought things while we were there. It's not as big a deal as everyone thinks. The staff were very polite and they really don't care or judge what you buy.

[Zealashton]

i have. its extreamly panders to wemon mostly.

and male sextoys are none existint

and if your usa or Canada. then male gential mutiation and iggnorate scums everywhere.

like their should be toys for the forskin. and more. but oh wait, everyones just fukcing love to mutialte men. bloodstain men / brother k

[erandal]

Yes. I have been alone and with friends. I go semi frequently to a store not too far from where I work in London. I have bought various items of clothing and toys. Last time was about six months ago and I bought a 7" latex dildo.

[pajamasam]

I've went with friends to get gag gifts. With girlfriends to get toys for both of us and I've went alone to get things for myself.

Its always kinda stressful because there's always a worry of "what if someone sees me here and makes a big deal out of it" but by the time you get in and a staff member welcomes you and offers to help its easy to calm down and realize that everyone gets horny and there's nothing wrong with treating yourself from time to time.

[weysally]

yes once in Sunny beach Bulgaria, only for a laugh, a young couple was close by and she said to him you aren't going in there, where my husband said "I am, coming in"
we looked at a few things didn't buy anything, not our scene

[bowenw]

I've been in them alone and with my SO, and have bought many things. Just go into one and check it out. Don't be intimidated. The staff are usually very helpful and friendly. If you're worried about COVID-19, shop online.

[OlderAndWiser]

I have visited such stores alone a few times and with my SO a few times. I/we purchased a vibrator and, of course, as soon as we got home, we needed to test the merchandise.

[Anonymous]

My grandparents owned one so I played around it a lot when I was growing up. I couldn't work inside it during the day but when it was closed I used to clean up and restock the products. The worst part of the job was the video viewing area in the back. Guys paid for tokens to watch videos in booths but it was really just a jerk off festival. Cum was everywhere. That was my least favorite part.

[Gwenhwyfar]

A long time ago in high school me and my friend went. They kicked us out lol.

[VioletAsh]

Yes, my new boyfriend and I went to one before we even had sex. We bought a bullet vibrator, lube, and butt plugs :)

[Vero4567]

I haven't been to one. I don't think I even would, cause its kinda awkward 😂
If I were to buy something, i'll rather purchase it online.

[purplepoppy]

Apart from anne summers I went to a huge one in rhyl. I didn't buy anything, everything just seemed overpriced low quality crap.

[elizamichale1]

yup so many times n i went with brother and alone too
