We drove to the Castle Superstore, got out of the car, and walked in. As I held the door open for Kim, I said "Welcome to porn heaven!"
Castle Superstore is something fairly new in the area. As near as I can tell, they buy up a supermarket location that wasn't working as a supermarket, remodel, and sell adult stuff of all kinds. Dildos and vibrators and lubes and whips and cuffs and feathery things and bedroom costumes and porn. Aisles and aisles of porn, sorted by class--magazines, books, video tapes, and DVDs--and type, such as straight, gay, bi, solo... there's so much porn that even the
fetishes
are broken into subcategories for easier shopping: big tits here, plumpers there, pregnancy and lactation over on the wall there. It's huge. And best of all, Kim had never been here before {insert oily rubbing of hands and a muted cackle coming from me here}.
Just inside the front door, Kim paused and surveyed the landscape. From what I'd seen the few times I'd been there before, this was a typical reaction. It had certainly been mine. She was clearly impressed and said as much.
"I've been here a few times, mostly to check it out, but I've never gone shopping here with anyone before," I said.
We grabbed a cart and headed for the left side of the store. "There are a few things I'm planning on getting, but I think you ought to get the full tour."
Kim took my arm as we walked and said "Oh, definitely! This is much bigger than anywhere I've been before."
I said "I like it. There's lots of light and you don't stick to the carpet."
We turned the corner on the leftmost aisle and I paused. "See?" I said. There was nothing but dildos and vibrators all the way down the aisle. There were shelves, bins, and wall displays.
"My
God
, this is like IKEA for sex toys!" Kim said.
"Parts of the store are more like Ace Hardware, but yup, that's about it.
We ambled down the aisle. I gave Kim a chance to look at everything. She stopped to examine one item or another every few feet and kept shaking her head in amazement at either the product or the variety. About halfway down the aisle, Kim said "I didn't realize that there were this many different types in the world."
"The overall purpose is about the same for all of them, I grant you, but they're all a little different in how they're going to get you there."
As we came to the end of the aisle, there was a six-foot section of nipple clamps of various kinds. I stopped and held up one small package and said "These are the ones I started with that you saw earlier." I pointed out a few others that I'd looked at for myself in the past and said "See anything you like?"
"I don't think this is quite the same as buying me candy and flowers, you know," Kim said.
"Noooo, but it's just like what I said a moment ago," I replied. "The overall purpose is about the same for all of them, but they're all a little different in how they're going to get you there."
Kim poked me and said "Yeah, yeah, yeah." After examining the contents of the rack, she said "I think I'd like to wait on nipple clamps."
"Okay, sweetie, it was just a thought." We rounded the corner and found ourselves in the games and light entertainments aisle. Kim and I pointed out a couple of the sex games to each other but we both figured we'd do better on our own and more than half of them seemed to be geared to more than two players.
We skipped the next couple of aisles, which were geared a lot more towards the Ace Hardware crowd, and ended up in the tattoos and piercings aisle. I pointed out some of the different kinds of piercing hardware to Kim, who was only casually familiar with most of it.
"Why would I want to put a stud through my tongue?" Kim said.
"It supposedly makes a big difference in the sensations when giving a blowjob... or licking a clit, for that matter," I explained. "I've never had the experience myself, but friends have said it's no big deal either way. It's more the idea of it, I think."
Kim considered this. "I cannot imagine needing a tongue stud. Good technique should cover everything."
I said "Boy, I'll say!" and nudged her. She grinned.
We'd moved to the displays of nipple piercing hardware. "Now, a nipple piercing on the other hand is great fun." I pointed to some of the more ornate niobium rings. "They feel good and I think they look very sexy. Some of them are very pretty."
Kim snapped her fingers and said, "That's right! I forgot that you'd had your nipple pierced a few years ago. But you're not wearing it now; how come?"
"I took it out a couple months ago when I snagged it and bent the ring and didn't get around to putting a new one back in time. The hole's grown closed now. I wouldn't need to be repierced, but getting the new ring in would stretch and tear the skin, so I'd have to go through a rehealing process to put one back in. "
"Why'd you have it done in the first place?" Kim said.
"I wanted more nipple sensitivity than I was able to get. It worked really well, too." I sighed happily. "But I've still got a lot of the sensitivity now even with the nipple ring in, so it's not quite a use-it-or-lose-it deal."
Kim didn't say anything but I could see she was thinking about this.
We passed by the jewelry for genital piercings rather quickly. Kim said "No-one's getting near
my
vagina with needles, thank you very much!"
"I've never had any desire to have my penis head stabbed with needles and the thought of what could happen with an infection makes me shudder," I said. "They're supposedly fun but, no, definitely not."
There was a huge section of temporary tattoos. I stopped in the middle of it and said "Now, I want to select some tattoos for you so you can see what they look like." We dug around and eliminated sheets of roses and barbed wire, skulls, unicorns, bunny rabbits, and Winnie-the-Pooh characters. We ended up with a couple of big sheets of flowers and vines for anklets and a big one for Kim's lower back. She wouldn't be able to see it directly, but I would. Kim added a large blue and gold koi design for my leg, saying "I want to see you with one of these, too."
"Fine with me, honey; I like tattoos."
We looked down the next two aisles were nothing but racks of glossy magazines of all kinds. I said "I was thinking of movies, actually; magazines are hard to do together."
"Sounds good to me, too."
The DVD section covered a lot of floor. I turned to Kim and said "What kinds of films do you like?"
Kim thought briefly. "Umm... I like straight stuff, mostly, although I occasionally like to get something with woman masturbating by themselves. If I'm in the mood for it, it gets me very hot. But I usually look for couples videos. Candida Royalle's movies are my favorites. What about you?"
"I like all that, but I also like amateur compilations: you know, people who aren't professionals and who look like real people fucking. I'm not a fan of anal sex, so I skip those. I also like stuff from the 80s, when women looked like women. I can't stand a lot of the porn flicks today; the women... well, and the men, too, tend to look like they've been genetically engineered. And they're shaved, too; I've always preferred hair." Kim smiled. "And you
know
how I feel about women who're a little plump and have big boobs," I said, giving her waist a squeeze.
Kim squeezed my arm in return and said "Yes, I think I do."
"Why don't you choose a favorite and I choose a favorite and we share them?" I said.
"So we can share a few hot fantasies? You bet!"
"I know what I'm going to look for already," I said. "'Candystripers.'"
We headed for the "Classics" section and I found a copy of "Candystripers" easily. Kim looked at the box and said "Young nurses?"
"Well, candystripers, but yes."
"Why do guys like nurse fantasies so much?" Kim asked.
"I couldn't say," I replied. "Maybe it's the idea that you've got potentially attractive women leaning over you and working on your scantily clad body while you're in bed. Maybe it's the sponge baths. Maybe it's the uniforms. What do you think?"
"
Maybe
it's just because you're all horndogs."
