Everything that you have heard is...

Everything that you have heard is true.

I read the reviews of this sex shop before I made my visit and couldn't quite believe them: roving packs of bachelorettes? A ginormous gold metal penis that can be ridden like a hobby-horse? A clean, welcoming peep-show area? Glass booths with sexy women in them who will do private finger or toy shows for you while encouraging you to jack off to their exploits? I am here to tell you my friends, it was all there -- check, check, check and check.

The store itself is clean and well-lit, and was full of couples and singles, and in fact a giggling bachelorette group was comparing vibrators as I walked in. The peep show area is to the right as you come in, and you don't need to buy tokens or a pass or anything like that before you enter, you just walk right on in. Video booths are to either side, but in front of you as you come in are three glass cubicles where women will dance (strip, masturbate, ride a toy suction-cupped to the window) for you. You communicate with them via a telephone handset on the wall, and negotiate for the show that you would like: $20 for topless, $40 for nude with fingers, and $60 for a toy show were the prices I was quoted. I spoke with a very pleasant and very cute woman who was working on her nursing homework when I walked in, which made me feel a bit awkward. But she put the books away and cheerfully began chatting with me. She quoted the prices and asked what I wanted to see. I asked her what she liked to do (always a good thing to do, lads) and she said that she preferred the $40 fingering show. Cheaper AND she chose it? Perfect.
