Revelation of a sex shop seller: “It turned out that sex is something more”
Is it easy to work as a salesperson in an intimate goods store? And perhaps in this regard you can find something new and useful for yourself? To answer these questions, it is best to turn to those who are most directly involved in this, in intimate stores and sex education consultants.

In the fall of 2010, I began working as a sex educator of sorts,” says Lucas Brooks, salesperson, blogger, and sex educator. “When I first came to work, I already knew that sex shops did not sell bloodletting agents. But still, in principle, I hoped that I would have to deal with them.”
“I know I don”t know anything”
As a result, Lucas says he has had to learn a lot to serve his clients well. Sex turned out to be a completely unknown area for me, about which I knew very little. And another surprising truth was that buyers of sex shops have an equally vague idea of \u200b\u200bthe sexual sphere. I don”t like to generalize, but I have to admit, yes, most of the store”s clients were straight. And for the most part they were very constrained by strict rules and psychological attitudes, but they acquired who knows where and how.”
Lack of public culture
“I’m homosexual,” Lucas continues his story. Many people are passionate about me, and I constantly fight for the rights of people like me. People need to constantly prove that there is nothing wrong with occupying a sexually defined role, even if it is someone with a man. But while working in a sex shop, I almost became neurotic because of the purity of some of my clients.”

“Almost strangers often feel they have the right to express their sexual fantasies to me and talk about the freedom they can bring to my body. As a result, I often experienced negative feelings towards my body and the homosexual perspective in general.”

“Should”: a word that had to be avoided
In addition, Lucas explains why he has such a negative attitude towards the dulling of the sexual sphere. “Working in a sex shop, I very quickly realized that I was “essential” or “irreplaceable”, excuse the use of the word “essential” or “irreplaceable” from my vocabulary. The conversation took an unpleasant turn, and it was worth telling the client that the lubricant had to be used in a special way.”
“But on the other hand, the clients themselves used the word “essential” in Might and Main.” Male customers often heard that their friends should “try” anal sex. Women believed that men “can”t” use sex toys. These are clients who brewed for themselves with vibrators at five speeds. My audience seemed to consist of almost the same hypocrites. And it”s very difficult to find the right words to describe my excavations.”
Lucas”s enlightening conclusions
We blame others so easily, but we are blind to sin. The reason for this is simple — people want sex to be simple and straightforward. But that”s not true. Sex is a complex, multi-component, broad and fascinating field with its own greatness. And the only way to be a great lover and a truly understanding citizen is to abandon stereotypes and prejudices and recognize both your own character and the individuality of other people.”
