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.
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
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!
yeah i go all the time and have to say i agree with this totally
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!I've been alone and with my lady. We had a great time.
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.
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
Privacy matters to me more than anything else lol.
ah ok... i personally like the thrill of others seeing me but im far from ''normal'' lol
A few times with other people, never bought anything though
not tempted to go back alone sometime?
🤷🏼♀️I didn't not buy something cuz I wasn't alone lol no shame in my game 🙂
not sure i can follow that double negative lol
Haha yes I have, many times actually. I usually go by myself, depends on my mood I guess.
what do you like to buy there?
Depends, everything I see and like - dildo, butplug, what I feel like hehe.
cool... i tend to buy lube, erection pills, poppers, sexy underwear and ofcourse lots of pornography.
Apart from anne summers I went to a huge one in rhyl. I didn't buy anything, everything just seemed overpriced low quality crap.
thats a shame.
Yes, my new boyfriend and I went to one before we even had sex. We bought a bullet vibrator, lube, and butt plugs :)
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
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
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
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.
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!
I worked in one when I was younger. I don't think they're as common these days but I could be wrong.
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.
It was fun, though I was nervous about it at first because I was young.
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. ;)
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
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...
good on ya
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.
my local is closed again... apparently it doesn't sell essential items
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.
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
not been again since becoming an adult?
Visited several, of different types.
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
In my country there is no adult shop, everything is sold online and I once bought a vibrator online and it didn't work so I always order stuff from adamandeves website. If I'm not sure about the item, I order cheap version from aliexpress and try it
where do u live
Georgia
thats odd... is it a law against them?
Yes I have & I went to Home Depot this week.
I went with my boyfriend few times but usually we buy online. I wasn't nervous. It's normal and the other people there are doing the same as i
Visited? ... fuck, I used to work in one!
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.
i have. its extreamly panders to wemon mostly.

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