| Forum Initiate United States 31 Posts | Im just wondering what you guys have done to deal with the embarrassment of going to a sex shop and buying like a butt plug and cock ring or whatever. Im 18, I look like im sixteen or seventeen and im just nervous about walking into a place like Lover's lane a buying sex toys. Any tips? | |

Forum Maniac United States 4,228 Posts | I don't have a whole lot of sex toys. Like, for bondage stuff, I visit Walmart and Home Depot. But before I met my Master, I did buy a vibrator and a butt plug. I ordered them online. There was no way I would have gone into a sex shop by myself. Once Master and I started seeing each other, we went to a shop once and bought another vibrator, a ball gag, and some nipple clamps. I was embarrassed and uncomfortable. But I went anyway because that's what He wanted to do. I did not make eye contact with the clerk the whole time I was paying. On my own, I probably never would have gone into a store. I would have just shopped online. Magdalene | |

Evil On Board  United States 19,942 Posts | Online is an option, often you don't get much from being in the store, less you're planning on using a tape measure. I usually don't have issues. I know many people do, but let's get real...after you've seen 100 people buying toys to shove in various holes...it gets old for the clerks. You won't be the first visitor, nor their last. That said...I think sex and play are natural and I won't apologize or for that matter feel bad about that. Toon Sides I've gotten such wonderful advice on toys from some of the more 'experienced' clerks Edited by - CloseToon on 2009-08-02 19:14:06 | |

Forum Slut United States 1,918 Posts | Actually, I have learned to enjoy amusing the store clerks by being old enough to be their mother as I'm discussing the BDSM equipment (which I never buy in sex shops since it's junk), and asking questions about the sex toys before choosing one. I've learned not to be embarrassed when they test the toys with batteries. | |

Forum Slut United States 1,918 Posts | And Toon's right, it's hard to embarrass them. They have seen and heard it all before. | |

| Forum Maniac United States 14,202 Posts | He backed up against the wall as far as he could get and held his hands up like he was being robbed and pointed to a sign that said "No Returns!" Poor guy was saying "It doesn't do what the package says it does!" LMFAO!

Forum Slut United States 1,859 Posts | I don't get embarrassed. Whatever you're doing or buying, they've seen worse. -- "...by the by, this moment is so great, I'd cheat on that other moment from before, marry this one and raise a family of tiny, little moments." | |

Forum Maniac United States 4,791 Posts | I think everyone is uncomfortable the first time they make a sex toy purchase. You're letting a stranger know that you're interested in SEX. That's a pretty significant admission in our sexually repressed culture. Go to your local shop and make a purchase. It can be anything, a pack of condoms, a book or magazine, a card. Then the next time in will be more comfortable. Once your embarrassment disappears you'll find the clerks can be very helpful with information and possibly even help you with selections.

Forum Maniac United Kingdom 4,138 Posts | I dont visit the usual boring sex store...I prefer the fetish store near where my Mom lives...the middle aged store lady is really nice and really helpful and I have had many chats with her about this and that whilst purchasing ball gags/paddles/bit gags and other objects...Ive never actually felt embarrassed to be in there either...I did have a laugh with the lady when a very expensive looking business man was complaining that he couldnt find blue adult baby costumes for his size..he was very upset about that. Its probably because of your age that you feel embarrassed or nervous...as you beocme more confident then this anxiety will fade. Property of Soul_Sadist | |

His Cock Socket United States 6,693 Posts | Never had a problem going into sex stores, alone or with Master. I figure I have nothing to be ashamed of, so no need for embarrassment. And the clerks have seen it all.... you name it, they've probably seen it.... Go for it! -- | |

Forum Apprentice United States 156 Posts | I don't think I was born with an embarrassment gene. Or if I was, it's very hard to trigger it. I've gone into many sex shops, and drug my sister with me a few times. She was embarrassed, I was amused. | |
