I work at an adult novelty store AMA

>>743669324
Most commonly bought item?

>>743669440
Tiny packets of lube, my city has a decent amount of prostitutes that come in and buy them with condoms.

post proof faggot

Do you fantasize the people using what they buy

>>743669324

weirdest story you got working there?

>>743669324
Do you get retard customers thinking you personally own one of everything in the store to use...

>>743669530
Sometimes, a lot of decent looking people come in and buy toys.

>>743669536
Dude came in and started fucking one of the $3,000 sex dolls in the DVD corner

>>743669582
YES They come in every day asking if I used the electric butt plugs before

Seriously though work at a sex shop doesn't matter which way you swing you get hit-on a lot. Even for a 90lb pleb like myself.

Im crying rn

>>743670245
Hmm sounds nice I might consider working for one considering hurricane harvey blew away my work just a few days ago.

>>743670323
I was offered to participate in a 3-way with 2 chicks once, but majority of people that hit on me are pedophiles that consider me a legal option. Bitches just want me for my discount.

>>743669324

How often do people come in just to be silly and browse for the adventure, but don't actually buy anything?

How often do vanilla looking boring but cute soccer mom types come in? I tend to picture an edgy clientele (goth, emo) instead of the Classroom Mom volunteer type.

What's the best bang for your buck vibrator that I should buy for my wife? Got a rabbit, but she hates the ass probe. I don't want to spend an outrageous amount of money, but I don't want the cheap crap you find at Spencer's Gifts.

>>743670381
im cool with sex for discounts.
>side note who buys the giant dildos more girls or guys.

>>743669324
How often do people buy chastity/ bdsm stuff?

How many straight couples are into pegging?

>>743669324

Has an impromptu gangbang ever happened on your shop floor?

do you have video booths and if so, do you chase fags out for fucking in them, and also, do you man the mop?

>>743670432
1 We get a lot of first-time people that never walked into a sex shop before, a lot of window shoppers that just want to look at the toys and get off just at the thought etc

2 Vanilla-style soccer moms come in rarely, unless they have a guy over their shoulder.

3 Rabbits aren't too bad but if she dosen't like the anal or clit stimulation just go for a standard vibrator or a wand. Usually they all come in different speeds and functions.

>>743670473
I dont sell many giant dildos, biggest i sold was a 7", a lot of girls dont like massive dicks because it can hurt.

>>743670537
A lot come in for strap-ons, extenders and dildo attachments for boxer shorts. Not a big amount but they exist once every few weeks.

>>743670539
No but that would be an interesting story to tell

Why haven't you been replaced by Amazon yet?

>>743670632
Our DVD section is a tiny room in the back with a security camera, I catch a few homeless skids jacking it sometimes.

>>743670663
You can't test speeds before you buy it ;)

>>743670657

Seems like you're in the store now - any customers there with you? Ask if they'd be willing to pose with a toy...

...in like a totally chill, not going to get you fired way.

how much do you get paid?

>>743670816
Not yet, got a list of toys I want to buy but I have more important things to invest in right now

>>743670854

And if you won't ask, at least describe your most recent customers of both genders.

>>743670115

Do you find yourself judging the customer based on their purchases?

Any repeat customers?

Are there such things as name brand and store brand?

Do you carry stuff from a company called do Doc Johnson? Would you consider their stuff garbage?


I have my eye on a specific anal dildo. 11" long. 10" circumference. Just wondering because if I go, I'm paying cash, using a false name is prompted, and never coming back after the purchase.

Suppose your boss walks in behind you and finds you on /b/, what thread does he or she see you on that will get you in trouble?

>>743671747
1 I don't judge what people buy, sometimes I imagine a bit though. If I see people i know go to my shop on the street I don't bring it up.

2 All the prostitutes, DVD renters and hardcore fappers that need more lube

3 Some of the products we carry are exclusive but not brand-related to store.

4 We don't have that brand, but we have a shitty off-brand named Yum from Germany and half their products don't work

If you look young they can legally ask for your ID, they can't use it against you though. If the store uses your purchases against you it's classified as defamation.

>>743671775
I've been on /b/ /e/ /h/ /d/ and /gif/ and they dont seem to give a shit.

>>743672027
Well that's good to know. Thanks for the honest answers.

>DVD renters and hardcore fappers

Those are a thing? In the day and age where large tubs of lotion/water based lube can be bought from the super market and there are literally terabytes worth of free porn to stream, you still have those kind of people?

Any aspiring pornstars come in and ask for advice?
Any local porn companies coming in and buying in bulk?
Do you read porn while stuck there?
Anyone give you their porn demo and ask you to pass it out? Or like coffee shops come in post a flyer or leave a bundle of free DVD samples?
Do companies come in and train you on their product?
Ever beat off at work?
Catch anyone dumpster diving?
If yes to any of these, stories!

>>743672142
>Terabytes of free porn
Some people like getting the full thing rather than digital, like buying a CD.
>Porn industry complains that free porn is killing the industry much like music.

>>743672142
A few sales pointers I use for rentals are no viruses, no internet needed for the tin foil hatters and exclusive collections.

A few amateur film makers buy lube sometimes

I don't read porn

Nobody gave me their porn tapes

Some companies have very specific manuals on how to use their products since they are "medical devices" so I take the liberty to know how to use them and better serve my customers.

Never beat off at work.

Dumpster is locked but I wouldn't blame the greasers in my city.

>>743672324
Ok yea I guess. I see why they exist. Just odd that they do
Last one. I know as a worker you of course don't own many/or even any of the toys you sell. But if you do, which ones? Ever give recommendations? Or worse, has anyone ever asked for a recommendation on toys or lube?

>>743669324
Best sex toy in the shop... name it

>>743672422
See
>>743672424

>>743669324
poppers? Have you tried them and what do you think of them?

how many young/teenage girls come in?

>>743672424
People always ask for recommendations, as an employee im expected to have product knowledge. Personally so far I only have a 5" vibrator but it does the trick imo

>>743672478
Rythmic 5" vibrator, the one I own

>>743672558
We don't sell poppers anymore, and I never tried them. Seems like a useless chemical bath.

>>743672605
A lot of teens under 18 come in but I ID them and get them to leave immediately. Most young girls have a guy over their shoulder but occasionally theres a few alone.

What looks better to you circumcised or uncircumcised and why

>>743669324

average dildo size you sell?

>>743672957
No preference as long as it's clean

>>743672963
7", sometimes 5" but when it comes to the realistic-style ones they go for the 7" because it has a bit more girth to it

>>743673005

girth measurement?

>>743672676
>Most young girls have a guy over their shoulder but occasionally theres a few alone.
what do the younger girls (18+) usually buy?

What's the weirdest/kinkiest thing you have for sale?

What's the weirdest/kinkiest thing anyone has ever bought?

>>743673041
Usually the 7" dildos have a 5-7" girth idk i just know its bigger

>>743673056
Just vibrators really

>>743673063
We have a sex pillow that triples as a sex position tool, toy stand and bondage set. Not gonna lie I was never really kinky till i started working here

>>743670381
Ever taken them up on the offer?

>>743673173
any good long stories?

Why is
pinkcherry.com
the best site to buy adult novelties, period? And right now they have 25% off everything; so there's that. Bought some shit from them last night!

You mentioned extenders? Do they work/how much do they add/popular models? I'm looking at the cadejo from fetishzone but I'm wondering about the more normal options (if that's what you meant by extenders)

>>743673326
It's a retail store, nothing major happens.

>>743673365
You mean the entire stock that my store sells, that you don't have to wait for if you swallow your pride, and isnt actually 25% off because:

>Autoblows are 149 at my store, 169 on site
>Fleshlights are standard 99 but site puts higher value to trick idiots
>too lazy to find more examples

>>743673495
Some extenders are just for girth, a few other ones are length depending on what's needed

Any recommended lube?

>>743673671
Liquid silk is higher-end but good quality, same with Fuck Water. Jo flavoured is really good, especially if you use numbing mints if you're fellaciating. Never use silicone-based lubes with silicone toys/condoms.

do you know anything about massage oils that could also work as lube?

>>743673648
Silly, you didn't use the coupon code.

>>743673815
My companies exclusive brand has a 2-in-1 massage oil. One is scented with strawberry and the other is non-scented. 2-in-1 massage oils kinda taste bad though I'd recommend just buying separately.

>>743673832
Got anything for the "swallow your pride and enter a sex shop" part?

>>743673935
But why would anyone want to walk into a sex shop, and deal with people when you can order things and get them the same week, for cheaper? Makes no sense.

>>743673999
Gloryholes

>>743673935

can you tell me about condom sizes and which companys "XXL" shit is actually XXL?

international brands if possible t. eurofag

>>743669324
Is yours just a normal adult store, or do you have a backroom?
If so, what's cleanup like?

>>743673999
A strong defense for people is to stimulate local economy. The products are sourced otherwise but these local businesses employ real people and support real lives. Another example is not everyone is socially awkward to the point they're too scared to walk into a sex shop.

>>743674076
well, apparently my wife would rather order on amazon. Any advice to help calm her apprehension about going to the local shop? TBH some around me look creepy

>>743674159
Your wife is smart. Online ordering is where it's at.

>>743674029
Majority of condom sizes are dependent on general size statistics. Trojan for example has a kinda one-size-fits-most, and then a large for the hung horses.

>>743674072
No back room, no rub and tug just vanilla retail store.

>>743674159
Tell her to imagine walking into a sex shop as talking about sex with your family/friends/partner for the first time. Sex is awkward to talk about for a lot of people especially complete strangers. Majority of people working in sex shops know that and read body language to determine how outgoing someone is about talking about such a topic. General rule is we say hello, and let them look around until they look like a deer in headlights and offer assistance. We usually put the customer in control of how far we discuss things.

>>743674367
I bet you order your groceries online too, don't get scurvy bud.

>>743674367
its sort of true as I think she doesnt want to be seen by her PTO friends carrying a big dildo ha

>>743674545
Nah, groceries are better fresh. Ordering a rubber vagina though.. hell ya bro!

Whats the pay like?

>>743674416
Thanks, bud. I bet my wife would feel better about it if she knew someone like you were working the counter

>>743674919
Pay isn't bad, for merchandising work & customer service I'm being paid reasonably. Canadian minimum wage is going up to 14/hr next year and although it benefits me I don't understand why i'll be making as much as personal support workers & other occupancies that require college degrees.

Cyberskin is really good, it warms up with your body temperature. Silicone and other materials can feel a bit cheap and degrade as such. PVC isn't too bad either

>>743669696
It isn't strange question at all. It makes perfect sense to me.

>>743676069
If you use the toy sexually, no, you can't return it. If you use the lubricant, no, you can't return it with your cum-filled hands.

>>743675999
I have all PVC based stuff. Works fine. Clean up is simple. Not sure if you can use oil based lube with them or not though. Overall it's usually best to stick with water based. Less messy clean up. Assuming this is for anal play of course. Lubes are irrelevant if you're sticking them up a vagoo.

>>743676119
What if I wash toy before returning?

>>743676148
Nearly all based lubes work fine with PVC, it's a strong material and wont wear. You just can't use silicone with silicone because it degrades the material.

>>743676195
Nope, absolutely no refunds. If someone comes in like an our after buying it and says it doesnt work ill assume they didnt use it and mark it as defective but you can't have it for a week and go "yeah it doesnt work"

>>743670657
>a lot of girls dont like massive dicks because it can hurt.

this needs to be screenshotted and reported to every fucking thread about big cocks

>>743676270
I've discussed this with a few girls that come in, a lot of them agree that there is such thing as too big of a dick.

>>743671775

Oh shit I didn't know. Good to hear! Been wanting to try using baby or coconut oil as lube because it smells nice, is slick, and is cheap in bulk. Just didn't want to hurt my toys. Pic related. My main toy.

Doc Johnson Shellshock large

>>743676833
Lol good to know I'm some sort if freak. Although it does take me around 20 minutes of stretching so I don't hurt myself. I can just about bottom out on it.

As for lube, would the coconut oil I mentioned be good to use? And reason not to? I mean I've heard of people using straight up Crisco lard and shortening for cheap home made lube. I also own pic related although I can even come close to taking the whole thing. Has a circumference of almost 15". Doc Johnson Ass Master. Great for stretching. This would be the perfect novelty lol.

>>743677049
Can't even come close* I get about half way before I feel absolutely stuffed.

Guarantee there is someone out there who can take the whole thing without even flinching.

>>743670323. I'm in league city where r u

>>743677049
Not him but I use coconut oil for lube with butt stuff. Kinda messy because it melts so quickly with warmth but I really like it. Only thing I'll use now besides cum lube for fun once in awhile.

>>743677247
Awesome! You have no idea, or you probably do, about how hard it is to find info about the pros/cons of certain lubes. Whether those lines will fuck up a certain material toy, etc.

I know what I'm getting later. Gee. Who would have thought I'd get useful info on /b/ of all places?

>>743677412
Haha
Tbh I don't know what I'm doing, just trying stuff out. A friend mentioned they use it. I shaved one day and used it as moisturiser then things went on from there haha
Long story short coconuts oil is the best imo.
Enjoy!

>>743677197
Was in SE houston aka Waterworld, home got ruined job got ruined everything is fucked now we are here.

Sorry im back, had to fix net

Lube is dependant on personal preference, try the coconut oil see if you like it
