Apparently Gwyneth Paltrow and her investors bought the space but that was in 2015 and the store still seems to exist. many uk ones have lost that trashy image of old but dont have the super star price tag attatched which is good though paradoxically while im glad they aren't seen as the home of perverts anymore i do still like being judged as a dirty old man when women see me in there
Like i always say they are professionals. They will most likely be better at answering your question than google is

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!thats great but i have no idea where stores like that are... in the uk they are just shops that sell sex toys, sexy underwear, lube and porn etc... like a supermarket but without the tins of beans.
im starting to thing that the term adult store means something different on your side of the pond what with this story and a girl up the page going on about glory holes lol... thanks anyway
you are corect but there is still that stigma surrounding such places in some peoples minds
I know. That's why I try to tell people it's not as awkward or skivy as you think. Adult toy stores aren't shady, secretive things anymore, though many still see them that way
i appreciate your comments if aimed at others but if aimed at me you are preaching to the choir lol
they seem to be more of a drugs outlet in sunny beach and run by local mafia so not surprised it wasn't your scene, not really mine either
yeah its a double hit lol. the thrill of visiting and then the enjoyment of your purchases later ;)
Every one of them told me that when a guy uses a vibrator on her, it is much more arousing than if she uses it on herself. The rechargeable bullet vibrators are the best. Small, powerful, variable speeds and patterns, and of course rechargeable. Try starting with one of those on her nipple!
yeah thats not really what adult stores are here... the place you describe is far from the adult store as i meant it in the question but thanks anyway
same here but they dont have a video viewing area in the back where guys are wanking off
Ahhh I see. In the US they aren't supposed to be doing that but it is what happens. Like one of the girls mentioned glory holes. Those are not supposed to happen but they do unofficially. They used to be called adult book stores and they sold smut and nudie mags mostly. Then they added films, videos, sex toys lubricants
interesting and thanks for the clarification as it does explain some of the other responces from your side of the pond
there is a daft law in the uk that says pornographic movies can't be bought via the post so im happy to be a regular in my local store plus the women that work there are super friendly eventhough its obvious im a dirty old man lol
im sure i could but i like actually going and buying them plus i can pick up lube and panties for my doll at the same time ;)
thats really good that you had fun like that even before you had sex and i bet when you did eventually have sex it was so much better because you already ''knew'' each other
fair enough but they really aren't a place to feel awkward and infact for me i feel very comfortable visiting such stores because you dont need to hide anything
ah ok... i personally like the thrill of others seeing me but im far from ''normal'' lol
yeah its like they still have some stigma of being seedy etc but in reality they have become no different to any other store
For new timers i can understand. There is still stigma that for a women to enjoy sex she might be a slut
thats not what i was thinking of when i mentioned stigma but yeah i guess thats a good point too
🤷🏼♀️I didn't not buy something cuz I wasn't alone lol no shame in my game 🙂
cool... i tend to buy lube, erection pills, poppers, sexy underwear and ofcourse lots of pornography.
Hehe, my porn I watch on the internet myself, and I'm doable without lube so no need for that for me.
sounds good but i like dvd porn and i get through a lot of lube as a chronic masturbater that doest want to get too sore lol plus i have to use a water based lube when i play with my doll
i am at the stage where im exploring my own perversions and its not like i haven't had a past so honestly im really enjoying time as a chronic masturbater and porn addict ;)
Toys I only use for alone time and some special meetings such to say, but not with my husband.
can i ask do you masturbate alone regularly and now you mentioned ''some special meetings'' ofcourse i need to know more lol
I do masturbate alone ragulary, yes. Well, with special meetings I mean with other guys haha.
would he freak out if he found out? my last girlfriend fucked loads of other guys and i loved it
more common here in the uk and infact almost mainstream as more and more people visit them... hence the question. was it fun working there? the women who staff my local store seem to love their job
I live in the UK and that's where I worked in one but I don't see them very often anymore. At least not near me.
well you got ann summers on every high street and pulse and cocktails all up the A1 alongside loads of indie stores but i guess i spend more time looking lol
It was Ann Summers I worked in. I assumed they were still in business, but I don't get to travel around as much these days so that's why I haven't noticed I guess lol.
ok how about not a stranger to an ocassional visit ;) im a regular though. the women in my local know me by my first name lol
There use to be a shop in village, just called Private
They had a great supply of stuff, even has little cinema round the back to watch some under the counter stuff.
It was a shame really it had some great toys.
I've tried looking online nothing comes close..
pulse and cocktails are a good chain to visit if you have one nearby... much more instore than on their website and the staff are great too
was it fun working there and can i ask did you judge the guys going in to buy porn? i often wonder what the female shop workers think of guys like me that are so obviosly wankers
It was fun, sometimes... No, there really wasn't judging going on, but you'd run up against your own perceptions of presuming what someone's taste would be based on their look alone. If you work there, ya gotta be pretty down with all that sorta thing, and it becomes almost boring and you almost acclimate to all that sort of products. It becomes just a regular part of work, and not any big deal. I had regulars I liked, and ones that were pervy, ... but that goes with the territory. Trust me, the majority of workers aren't batting an eye or have the luxury of casting judgement on any patrons, ... it's just not like that. The majority could give a shit why you're in there, and don't care what you buy -- they're just glad to make the sale.
what are they like in the states... we have seen a shift in the uk from seedy joints staffed by big sweaty men 40 years ago to glitzy style friendly stores stafed mainly by women and i have to say i very much approve
In the States it's been a similar type of shift from the less seedy, to more (dare I say) upscale type places. I live in one of the larger metro areas in the country where the peep booth, glory hole style places are still around too.
ah we only seemed to have that in soho in london which ofcourse has now been gentrified but the adult store sector seems to be flourishing nationwide now especially as laws are eased that have restricted them in the past
again i think uk stores are different to American ones... here they are just retail outlets for porn dvds/magazines, sex toys, clothing and lube.
can i ask do you get a thrill from going instore rather than just buying online like so amny do?
depends on whether or not you like online shopping i guess... some of us are still analogue and like to see what we are buying for real plus the shop assistants are very knowledgable and friendly
and is that due to nerves or because you see them as seedy or do you just have no interest in them?
