My name is Mandy and I'm 38 years old, I've been married for 13 years, but recently, while my husband has lost interest in sex, mine has grown. We have a good marriage and Steve is a really good guy, but we haven't had sex in almost a year. He's more interested in golf these days. So, one day while our son was at school, I decided to go check out some toys at a place I had seen a while back. I didn't have a vibrator so I figured I needed one. This place was in the lower level of a strip mall in the suburbs across town. I thought it was a weird place for a sex shop but there it was. It was a weekday afternoon, early afternoon, late lunch time I guess, and there didn't seem to be many cars parked, so I was glad about that. I found a parking spot not too far away and sat in my car for a second collecting my nerves. I had never been to a place like this and here I was going in alone. I got out of my car and walked up, butterflies in my stomach and walked through the door with something posted on it about not entering unless you were 18 and not offended by pictures of sex acts. Then I was in a little room with another door to my right and a window directly in front of me that had a voice hole and a money slot like the windows at the movie box offices. In a second a clerk appeared.
"Do you have a membership?" he asked.
"No."
"Have you been here before?"
Again I answered, "No."
"It's one dollar for a membership. I'll explain the rest when you get in."
I reached in my purse and slid a dollar to him and he slid back a business card with the name of the store on one side and what looked like a disclaimer on the other.
"Keep that card to get back in, otherwise it's a dollar for a new membership. Come on in."
The door to my right buzzed and I stepped through.
"OK" the clerk began as I stepped in. He was a thin young man, in his 20s with sandy blonde hair and only slightly taller than my height of 5'6".
"If you want to rent, it requires either a credit card, or a $25 cash deposit, good for one year. The arcade is a five dollar minimum. Previews are six dollars, refundable if you purchase the DVD. The theater is free for you. Couples and single males are ten dollars for twelve hours. Single females are free. The arcade is on the far left, those are the preview booths," he pointed to his left at a door, "movies are to your right, the theater is through the door on the far wall, and then toys are directly behind you. Any questions?"
"No." I answered, but I was curious as to what an arcade was. I was still nervous, but there wasn't a soul in the store, so I asked.
"What's an arcade?"
The clerk turned back to look at me. "There are private booths with movie loops you select. There are about 30 movies to choose from. Each dollar is about 3 minutes."
"Thanks."
I turned around and started looking for a suitable toy for myself as the clerk sat back down on his stool watching something on TV. They didn't have a huge selection of vibrators, but they did seem to have them in all sizes. I was wondering what the little clerk would have thought of me if I bought the biggest dildo in the store, an 18 inch monster that was black and bigger around than a pop can, when I heard another customer come in. He didn't get the schpiel, so I figured he must have been here before. As I continued to look at the toys, I could feel eyes on me. I looked up to see the other customer, a stocky young man who looked to be in his early to mid twenties with spiky hair a black t-shirt and baggy pants with thick silver hoops in each ear look away from me. He couldn't be attracted to me, I thought. Here I am a mousy looking older woman in glasses, but the thought of it turned me on some and I began to get a nervously excited feeling. I had picked out a twelve inch pink jelly dildo that seemed to be just what my pussy needed, but for some reason, I wanted to stay for a while longer, fantasizing about this young man who kept trading glances with me. I moved to the DVD section and started looking at some of them, the pictures of people having sex was turning me on and I kept catching him looking at me. I had to catch myself several times reaching to rub my aching pussy. I remembered the clerk saying something about preview booths – I couldn't wait to get home so I picked up a DVD and walked to the clerk.
"What was that about previewing DVDs?" I asked him.
