An adult bookshop is a place to buy porn magazines and erotic literature. Sometimes you can get movies and sex toys, but mostly they carry sexy magazines.
I haven’t spent a whole lot of time in adult bookshops, but I have gone to my fair share of sex shops, which tend to carry magazines, but also all kinds of toys, outfits, costumes, wigs, props, and ideas to spruce up or spice up one’s sex life. If you’re feeling bored with the sex life you have, or you just want to get some new ideas, it’s not a bad idea to take your partner to one of these stores. The last time my partner and I went to a sex store, we took a good long look at the dog collars. One in particular caught our eye; it said ‘daddy’s boy’. It’s lovely living in the village.
Living in the gay village allows adult sex shops to become totally passé. I pass by three of them on my way to my favourite coffee shop. Usually I can walk right on by, but sometimes I get swayed by the adorable corsets and sexy little skirts and garters and fishnets. I wish I had all kinds of money to buy myself little outfits all the time.
A friend of mine used to work at an adult video store. He worked the night shift and kind of loved it because it was usually super quiet and he was a writer so he used to just bring his laptop to work and write. Whenever someone would come in they would be super sketchy because they were going to a porn store at two thirty in the morning and that’s never a sign of someone who isn’t a little bit purvey (even though we all are and only some of us have the guts to own it and go into porn stores at two thirty in the morning). My friend said that it was almost exclusively dudes who came to the store at all hours of the night, dudes with weird handlebar mustaches and ball caps and too-big glasses that made their faces look like owls. He said he didn’t mind those guys and knew that they were sneaking in at night because they had too much shame and embarrassment and that was sad. The people who freaked him out where the couples that came, the older white dudes with young non-white girls. It’s like watching a terrible car accident that you can’t pull your eyes away from. My friend said they’d always be renting porn videos and buying panties. He’s tried to glower at the dude, but the dude’s eyes were always looking straight through him, all glazed and emotionless.
1. I’m opening up an adult bookshop so I can spend my time helping horny adults get through their lives.
2. My cousin works at an adult bookshop. He totally steals books for me. Once he got me a magazine with nothing but pictures of giant asses.
