One of my customers just made my day.

Contributor: Elaira Elaira
There's this young guy who is 18 or 19 that comes in to my porn store all the time looking for things for him and his girlfriend. He's a real nice kid. Real polite and kinda shy.

He came in today looking for some more nice things for his girlfriend and himself. He asked me if he ordered something online if he could get it delivered here and I told him we did special orders and to just let me know what he was looking for. I asked him what it was to see if I could find anything for him while he was here and he said he wasn't sure and he'd probably come back later.

While I'm ringing him up, he says in a joking way "My girlfriend wants me to get her a strap-on to use on me. She won't shut up about it." Of course, I told him that it's actually a pretty common thing for hetero couples. "I just don't want to seem gay" he said. I assured him that it's actually very common and about 90% of the harnesses I sell are to straight guys and that there's a reason why 'gay guys' like that kind of stuff. It feels good, you know?

So he asked me if we had any, I showed him what we had. I helped him pick out a nice starter harness and a small anal dildo. I also suggested a nice lube for him and sent him on his way.

This makes me very happy. I feel like something I did to reassure him about this has helped to broaden his horizons. This is why I love my job.

Aww, I love those days at work. It really is the best feeling when someone trust you enough to share something so personal, and you're able to reassure them that it's normal and not only that, you have the perfect thing they need for it. I get those warm fuzzies a lot when helping guys with strap-ons, much like your situation there, and also helping ladies buy their first vibrator. So exciting!

I love when my clueless customers come in and somehow have their ideas about things changed by how I present them with information. I feel like much more than a cashier and more like a therapist. Haha.

It feels good to help people like that. And it's nice that he feels comfortable enough talking to you to say all that stuff! I'm sure you made him feel very relieved.

You should start doing sex education classes sponsored by your store. I know some of the bigger chains do things like that and then you could help lots of people in groups.

I was always thankful when I was younger and someone took the time to educate me on vibrators or lubes or what have you. I still am today if I go browsing and have questions. You probably made his day too!

Good job, Miss D. You may have changed a couple's sex life for the better and changed a young man's idea of what is totally acceptable while increasing tolerance.

YAY!

That would actually be pretty fun. My boss and the store owner are blown away by how much I know and I'm planning to be a professional sex educator with this degree I'm working on.

I may just talk to them about it. It would help drive some business, maybe.

It would totally drive business. You could do Sex Toys 101 and then you'd be educating and selling at the same time. Everybody wins.

Kinda like a toy party, but with real knowledge and no overly crazy prices!

Yeah and no junky toys. More about real education than "let's play games and giggle yayz!!!". I went to one of those once. It was so bad. You're right - the toys were crazy expensive and most of them were low quality. I did get some nice smelling lotion though...

That is indeed a very good thing. However, something didn't add up for me, and I'd just like some clarification.

I assured him that it's actually very common and about 90% of the harnesses I sell are to straight guys and that there's a reason why 'gay guys' like that kind of stuff. It feels good, you know?

I could be reading this wrong, and it was supposed to read 'that's why gay guys like anal sex'. But I read it as 'that's why gay guys buy harnesses'. Which I thought kinda funny. Why would gay guys need strap ons, when they already have the necessary equipment?!
