Sex toy stores are appearing all around the world, creating safe spaces where customers can learn and experience the most pleasurable toys.
What we need to learn
As these new spaces evolve, patrons need to be mindful and respectful of other guests. On Reddit, a few users have offered some important guidelines.
- Minimize contact with other patrons: “Just don’t even talk to anyone else there except the staff.”
- Be respectful of shy or new patrons. Let the professionals handle it: “adult store employees seem to have a knack for knowing how to help you find what you’re looking for without making it embarrassing.”
- Another reader quoted a sign in a local store: “Do not hit on, or make advances to employees, or customers. Nobody wants to go with you to your single wide love shack. Don’t be a creep.”
- Treat employees like retail associates, not part of your fantasy.
- Leave positive reviews for sex toy shops that create safe spaces for patrons: “your review that this particular shop is a pretty safe space could encourage someone shy or uneasy to give it a chance.”
