My day so far

Rearranged erotica. Wasn't aware we carried Lesban Cowboy erotica. Awesome.

Found a broken vibe. :( People need to be more careful when handling products! A dead vibe makes me die a little inside. But no worries, I'll just recycle it! My artist frends like to take dead vibrators from my work and use them in things. Last time I believe a rabbit vibe was used as plumage on a hat (I wore it for a fashion show).

Woman buying the NEW We-Vibe 2. Yes!!! Multispeeds and simpilar control button. Oh and cheaper.

Two guys coming in, looking at masturbations sleeves making jokes and then walking out. You guys are sooo cool.

Older gentelmen looking for flavored condoms. He buys a handful and asks how long the flavor will last. And then buys a cockpump.

So far, pretty good day

Regulars

I love our regular customers. The repeat offenders. The ones that I can predict their purchase before they approach the counter. It's a really great feeling learning about someone through sex toy purchases. And since we're in such an intimate setting, regulars become part of our little family.

A woman comes in once a month to buy half a dozen "personal wipes" in mango scent. She sometimes is accompanied by a man named "Blue" who is a magician and sometimes does tricks for me while she walks around (even though she always buys the same thing)

A one eyed woman comes in to try on our corsets, but never buys them. I always feel bad that we don't have ones big enough for her, but still help her squeeze herself into them.

Gentleman who buys a lot of porn. And always wants it in an unmarked bag.

Pro-doms who sends their slaves and submissives in to buy them things.

Masturbation man who buys something new to jack off into every few weeks.


These people have become my family and friends. My observations and my judgements. Thank you shoppers, thank you regulars.

Naked Shopping

I got an email last from a customer asking if they could come to my works public holiday party naked. Polietly I explained that though we support nudity, this is a public event and clothes are not optional.

Now I keep thinking about how cool it would be to shop naked.

Signs that you work at a sex shop

Sign that I work at a sex shop:

drunk at a party finds that I am in sexual education and starts talking about this weird thing he heard about how guys have a g-spot in their asses.

I respond enthusiastically about the "p-spot" and about how prostate stimulation is really great and how I encourage it for those interested. I then started talking about toys that are used for "p-spot" stimulation, like the Aneros.

He stared at me wide-eyed and walked away...

Penis Envy

Sometimes I wish I had a dick.

I mean a real one, not silicone or rubber. I own plenty of those. At times I get these cravings to just jam my imaginary dick into things, and/or wonder what things would feel like if I were to fuck them.

Tenga makes me want a dick.

Tenga (http://www.tengashop.com/) is a line of sex toys created to indulge and expand male masturbation possibilities. They are not just pocket pussies or imitation asses for you to stick your dick in. They are about sensation and texture. They are designed to create different pleasures and unique experiences for the dick. And jeez, do I want to stick my proverbial dick in them.

The idea is to create a male masturbation toy that doesn't pretend to feel like human body parts, but instead explores different pleasures that the body can experience.

They make affordale disposible sleeves in various functions and sizes so that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to jack off in a new way. There is also th Flip Hole, which is the reusable sleeve that just looks so tempting and fuckable.

Some customers come in multiple times a week to buy the new Tenga products.

Crushing on Avi

It is my belief that sex shops makes people do silly things. Say things they don't mean, act a way that is unfarmiliar and some what strange. I expereince a lot of these behaviors. People get caught off guard, or become too comfortable. In the end there is no proper way to behave.

Crushing and flirting with employees at my work is a daily experience. People get hit on in all sorts of occupations, but something about working at a sex store amps up the sexual tension and causes flirtation or more. For example *Mark. He is in his mid fifties and must come in at least once a week to flirt with one of the managers. He goes as far as to buy items for the employees, though we do not accept. To get him to leave is tricky, because he does buy large amounts of items and promotes the store to his friends. Is letting him hit on the employees a fair trade? Advertisement and money in exchange for friendly and sometimes over the line conversation?

I once had a customer (female) call looking for me, wanting to take me out the evening. I barely remembered who this woman was while she invited me to dinner and a sex club The strange thing for me was, why was she calling me at work? She comes into the store and obviously knows when I work. Why didn't she just ask me for my number?

Avi Answers is a name I made for my work persona. At work I am charming, informative, dominant, and friendly. I do demos for classes, teach workshops, promote the store, etc. When I am at work, Avi takes over. Not saying that I'm not a wonderful person away from work ;P but I find that customers prefer to crush on the fantasy sex shop worker then, well, me.

My female caller comes back for classes, to watch me demo. Mark comes to the store to watch my co-worker. They fantasize about us, make us out to be untouchable. In a way we are. I feel like dating a customer would be cheating. I've learnt too much inimate secrets about them, things I want to explore and discver on my own time. Once in a while I want to jump a customer, but I hold myself back. I hate spoliers.

Updating sex

One of my favorite things about the sex toy industry is how quickly it is evolving. Every few days I come to work and there is a new sexual invention that I've never thought of before. The things people invent are quite impressive. I can only hope that this field continues to grow, and that products become safer and more body friendly.


Meet Mia, an invention of the Lelo complany. Mia is made from medical grade plastic and is a little bigger than a lipstick. The cool thing about Mia? Not only is it rechargable (no batteries required, awesome!) but it charges in the USB port in you computor. How convenient is that?



Sysil is our newist double sided dildo. The cool thing about Sysil? It's adjustable, so that the position of the phallus can change. The curve can become narrower, or wider to personal preference. It also has a removable vibrating bullet in it. and is water proof. Personally I don't love the color, but I forgive it due to it's kickass design.
