Called in to my local sex shop in Oldham to have an look at what toys they had. I ended up freaking the shopkeeper out. you would think they are used to kinky persons comeing in to buy toys. anyway I entered the shop and went right to the bondage shelf.The shop keeper told me you do know thats the bondage shelf. So told him yes I know I am into it the look he gave me was class. Then he started trying to sell me tacky handcuffs so I told him they would not last me five mins in play I then got an other look off him lol. So I told him what I get upto by that time he was well freaked. I am so evil next I asked for some, nipple clamps he only had one type. So ended up trying the demo pair on, so got an look of him again lol, as he seen my marks from the weekend.I Will have goto that shop again just to wind/toture him again. dont no if it was my age that did it or he dont get many people in to bondage. Just people wanting to buy dvds. Edited Tue 14 Jun 05, 5:44 AM by mrboo | |

Hahahahaha! Silly people should know their stuff! We have various shops in Norwich, one is geared towards making women feel totally comfortable while buying kinky stuff. I was in there the other day getting a couple of birthday presents. Shop assistant asked if she could help so I asked for suggestions for pressies for men, explaining that one was for a friend of my daughter's and the other for a friend that I've had under my own whip.
Not a flinch, they are trained not to react. But you could see she wasn't used to that level of openness. Ariane Relax, nothing's under control. | |

Go into any Anne Summers and act normally, i.e. as if you were shopping for some milk somewhere else. Not taking you much doing is it, since you're used to so much more than the twee selection in there. Now look at the assistant, totally confused that you're not giggling nervously/having a letch at that tiny set of Thai beads/terrified ... You can freak out the staff in Soho just the same, even the shop with the over-enthusiastic bloke who keeps wanting to demonstrate things (if he's still around, thank him for being so kind and tell him 'bend over then', that gets rid of him quicksmart!)

Saints and Sinners in Blackpool has to be the best sex shop I have been in. It only just got an 18 license enabling it to sell dvd's etc but was still the best before that. Fantastic fetish wear available in sizes larger than 24 if required. Corsets made by ex Vollers staff. Changing rooms. More vibrators and buttplugs than you can imagine. A decent bdsm section downstairs. Friendly, knowledgable, helpful staff all in a light and airy welcoming environment. Saints and sinners works because it helps people to fulfil their needs. No judgementalism, no snickering etc etc etc. Ann Summers makes money out of sex being dirty and naughty and hush hush. MG ps did I mention I get a 10% discount !

I used to be the manager of a sex shop owned by one of the major chains in this country. I met the big boss one day and told him what tat the bondage gear was tehy sold, and also that the wholesale prices they paid were way above what they could be but his reply was that they were not interested in improving this area of their business because it doesn't make much money and not many people are into it. How ignorant are these people? The Playhouse The home of three lifestyle Mistresses where the possibilities are endless... www.the-playhouse.co.uk | |

I agree and it's crap. I don't need to pretend not to be impressed by them because I'm not.

Ha very funny. I had a similar encounter in a small shop in Bury St Edmunds (of all places). I think the shopkeeper was astonished to see anyone enter, never mind a young woman with her eye on the floggers. They didn't even take cards so I had to march up the road to the cash point. That said, there are bargins to be had in some of these smaller places so they're always worth a try.

Im naughty (no surprise there then) because I go to my local sex shop to look at things in the 'flesh' then find the cheapest price on the net for the same article and order it there. Usually save at least 25% even with postage. Sweetiejar | |

well i beat Y/you A/all, for those of Y/you aware of the small town of Carmarthen and its tiny sex shop. i mean ask for thai beads and get a confused look, ok try something simpler a paddle (you know the cheap sort that are normally in the dominatrix costumes or in the hen night kits) another bemused look. basically they call themselves a sex shop because they sell flavoured condoms, nurses outfits and really overpriced and last 2 sessions before you wear them out vibrators, i mean the famous New Quay poundshop has even got fake leather little floggers, vibrators, and a male chastity device in it all for yes you guessed it a £1. see told you i beat Y/you all takara x "bow down before the one you serve, your gonna get what you deserve" | |

hahaha... Mr Boo what were you doing in that sex shop? Its a pile of over priced shite! Tho....let me tell you a story!.... Myself an 2 friends went in agessssssssssssss ago...looked around...apprently the owener reckoned they held private bdsm/swingers party there...but i dont know how unless they the merchandise in the car park. They had some good gear in...a little over priced tho. We then went a few months later...i wanted a vibe ya see :P and the ones we saw were 60/70 pounds ish whereas on the net they were 20! What a con! So.....we toddled upstairs to see the bondage section....to find their floggers/paddles etc were made by a certain well known bdsm company that advertises on here and has a stall at the BBB....at the BBB the floggers are approx 50 quid...but in the shop they were 100! WHAT THE FLUFF? Do they think we are stupid and dont shop online? I have no idea how they have the nerve to sell things at that price! And i think that well known bdsm company has actually stopped distributing to them now! As for Ann Summers....hmmm....good for one off useage...but i tend to burn out most motors quite quickly! hehehehe I do however rate Nua....good quality toys...great staff..great website..linked on here somwhere...a bit pricey but thats what you pay for quality. As for embarassing stories? hmmm....i couldnt possibly divulge! k x its coming....kinklusive |
