re: Who shops at adult toy stores?

These places are fairly common in big cities, are city guys needing a new gimp suit often? I can see the need for a store serving women who want toys but most of these places are seedy joints where a woman has to feel dirty about buying herself a new vibrator

I think they vary, but can’t say I’ve been in many other than for Halloween or prank gift sort of stuff. I think lots of them have video rooms with glory holes.
A co-worker was telling that when she bought an expensive vibrator they called over the loudspeaker that they needed customer service to the checkout with batteries. They test it first to make sure it works because they don’t accept returns. She said it was sort of embarrassing. Sounded like the device she purchased needed lots of batteries.
I’ve never seen those type of stores in some states like Idaho or Colorado but they are plentiful on the east coast and in Cali.
