1: Is it okay to get turned on?
Yes! Going to a shop isn't even a monthly thing for most people, it's suppose to be a sexy little adventure. With that said, we understand that there are naked ladies and everywhere you look can be a orgy for your viewing pleasure so if you are a guy and get an erection the staff gets it, but don't be pervy about it. As long as you try to hide if, and aren't trying to get us to recognize it or even worse, bump into us, you will be okay.
If it's a busy time of day you might want to wait to an off time if you know your penis is very noticeable while erect. Customers won't appreciate it, but again most of you can hide it. Untuck your shirt.
Of course we can hide it better than guys, and no one likes walking around in wet panties, more so after that first blast of arousal. Unless your vag is out, which it's not, your scent isn't going to linger, yes we do get insecure about that. Chances are if your at a higher end store, the women's room will have summer eve wipes.
2: Is it okay to ask questions?
we do actually want to provide you with customer service and help make your sex life (even masturbation) better. We seen and heard it all, you aren't going to shock us. We encourage it, more so in this day and age with all the allergies. The reason for all the different lubricates is because what works great for girl A might be horrible for girl B, or even for men.
At the same time if we suggest something and it doesn't pan out for you, please understand with lubes, toys, even condoms it can be a hit or miss.
Don't be surprised if we ask questions back, the more we know the better we can help you. We might ask when it comes to masturbating if you are more into penetration or clit stimulation or if you are going to be using the toy during sex. When it comes to questions about lube, you might want to let us know if you are a woman of a certain age and have gone through menopause.
Using words like pussy, dick, or cum are actually okay to use, but don't go crazy. Stay away from words like "cunt" and "gash", and be respectful of the fellow patrons.
3: Interacting with other customers:
If you hear someone asking a question in a low tone, let them be. However if they seem more open and you know the product and want to give your two cents, it's generally okay to say something like "I have that, it's amazing" and go from there, body language will tell you the rest of the story.
I have seen people hit it off, even open minded couples. Chances are you aren't going to walk out with a new friend. It's not a meeting place to pick up women. The majority of women are going to be involved, even if you hear they aren't, we aren't trolling for penis.
Basically use your best judgement, if someone has resting bitch face, avoid them.
4. Interacting with Staff:
Being friendly and nice to us has perks! We have sample lubes, bullet vibrators, panties, condoms, and even other goodies we might share with you.
Don't touch us, you wouldn't hug someone at your local convenience store. There is a bit of a double standard, but it's better if you use strip club rules, look but don't touch.
On the subject of look but don't touch, feel free to touch the samples, but don't open boxes. That's going to go into someone's cooch! More than likely they aren't going to clean it before use though we suggest it. If we don't have a sample, ask.
Don't bitch about the prices, yes we are a few dollars more than websites but you get to see it in person before you buy and more than likely we can give some info about the product, such as if it's good and the life of the product. Again if you are nice, we might knock a few dollars off or make up the price difference buy off setting it with a thong with our logo on it.
Don't be offended if we get you a different clerk Julie (not a real person) might be way more experienced with butt stuff than Molly. Even though it may appear anal is the new vag and because we work in the shop, doesn't mean we all enjoy getting our butt stuffed. Me personally, sometimes it sounds like a fantastic idea, other times it sounds like the worst idea.
We don't judge, but don't ask questions about morality like our thoughts about you going ahead with an affair. We will play the part of the old wise bartender, serving up some cold brewed pop psychology, but the last thing we want to do is give you life altering advice. On that note, we aren't doctors, if you got an issue with your private parts, see a doctor.
5: The golden rules applies
Couples, no one minds you holding hands lovingly as you walk around and talk about what is going up the other's butt tonight, but keep your PDA's on the lower end. People are horned up as is!
Keep your cell phone in your pocket or purse- it makes people uncomfortable that you might be taking a picture. If you want to look something up, come to the counter so the camera isn't facing the customers.
Leave politics and religion at the door
If your homophobic, don't come in. Besides the vast amount of graphic pictures on dvd boxes of girls kissing girls we get all types of couples in. Big shocker! Gays and lesbians have sex too! Fun fact, most women who work at adult stores are bisexual.
In the end, we are there to help you but we are real people too with real feelings. Yes most of us have had some interesting sexual experiences but we aren't there to be looked down upon.
