Do you prefer online or offline adult stores?

[tommy34]

A mate of mine and I were discussing the adult toy industry. I was trying to convince him that soon enough there will be no offline adult stores and they will soon be all online. He thinks that the market for offline stores will always be there and as strong as it is now. What do you think? Do you think we will see an increase in online adult stores and a major decrease in offline stores?

As with anything, of course there will be more online adult stores.
I like online cuz you can read more about the items, check out reviews, etc. before buying it. There is also more of a variety.

I prefer online. I know some of the offline ones around my way have little porn cinemas also , but I don't know if that creates much revenue as iv never been in there.

Anything is fine depends on how urgent me and my partner need the tools

Id always prefer shopping in store rather than online - that goes for all stores tho, including adult stores.

Lol, I'm the complete opposite. I find it a pain to stop in store. Online is so much easier. Much less of a hassle.

But online stores have sooooo much selection. And full descriptions. And reviews and ratings. I find it so much easier

The only times I've enjoyed going to a physical store was with a female partner. Kinda fun to pick out stuff I'd have wanted her to wear or items we wanted to use and be able to have them right then.
Beyond that, I'd always prefer online. Feels too skeezy going into one of those places alone.

Well I like to see what I buy and to be honest a real store is better at delivering that service.
On-line stores are cheaper, but you don't know what you're getting until you unpack the box.
I think off-line stores have a future, but they need to overcome the sleaze factor if they are to survive.

all those one on one booths in them sex shops... how can I possibly resist venturing into one of those and getting a 'lap dance' for hours on end if I ever walk into one, especially If I just had a pipe? I'd go bankrupt rofl

I have used both. I don't care who the bookstores are owned by, but I don't like going in there and being cruised, hit on, and treated like a sex object by horny gay/bi guys when I just wanted to buy, or look at stuff. Back before the internet became mainstream, besides mail order companies adult bookstores were one place to buy porn and sex toys. No I've never had sex with anyone in an adult bookstore. Normally you do pay more in a store but at least you can actually see what you are buying, don't pay for expensive shipping, and you can even negotiate the price. But I also like buying stuff online in the past since sometimes they'll put stuff on sale and it's cheaper than in a store and you can get free shipping.

Don't buy nothing that isn't plastic wrap straight from the company that make em.

Then there is the truth they make them dildos in Thailand and Burma at the sweatshops and are forcing the child labourers to mould them dildos in their own two hands what god gave them twelve year old boys. I says this is molestation forcing twelve year old boys to mould dildos for us Americans to stick up our asses. That's why I stopped using them as there is no fair trade sex toys and I now use my own stuff like a condom on a carrot with the thick end in first or one of those new tic tac containers they make from metal and all polished an smooth and I empty them out first of course and I leave the lid end hanging out and my hole just clamps down on them like its gonna crush em but it don't.

So I don't buy from online or brick n mortar stores no more. Everything I but is free trade certified.

^Or just buy well made phthalate free sex toys that are designed for anal and vaginal use and avoid using home made things like fruit, vegetables, or a tic-tac container and avoid injuring yourself or somebody else.

i prefer the store. i am impatient and don't like to wait for things to be shipped. the city i live in has a pretty good selection of sex shops, so i have never found the selection to be lacking. and the staff has always been very helpful if i am unsure about something or want recommendations.
