not in walking distance, so no not really local.

that's too bad ):

i have seen several in passing, they're all in very questionable neighborhoods and i'm afraid to go in there alone based on safety concerns. aside from that i'm shy and i don't think i could make a decision if my mate was there with me. shopping online is good

That's the same with me.

I have them in good areas but every time I enter I hope that none will see me and I will not meet anyone inside.

And I feel uneasy when the shop assistants are watching me.

So I prefer online shopping but you can't have a close look at the stuff.

But most sex stores in Germany are Orion stores and they have strange contracts. You will not get the good brands there like Fleshlight, Aneros and stuff. Exept for fun factory.

But mostly they sell low quality stuff.

I do I guess. There is a Babeland in Seattle that I could go to on a regular basis but online shops, especially EF, are much cheaper and easier to navigate. I don't need to go into a sex shop and look like I have no idea what I am doing.
