How old were you when you first visited a sex-shop?

Contributor: Tuesday Tuesday
I think I was 19. It was a real life store in Berkeley. The name might have been something like For Her. Definitely a woman's shop. Now Good Vibrations is either in the same place or very close to where that shop was. I thought maybe the shop I went to was Good Vibrations, but their website says they weren't open in Berkeley back then, millions of years ago.

I wandered into a little sex-shop with friends when I was maybe 20 or 21. It was a cozy, intimate atmosphere with a really body-positive vibe and a queer woman behind the counter. Before then I hadn't really been interested in purchasing toys, but once I saw them in person I couldn't stop thinking about them.

I was shy to buy anything on that first trip, even though my friends got a few small things. I mustered the courage to go back alone a few times but they were always closed, and I ended up preferring online shopping where I can read reviews and do research before making a purchase.

I ventured into a sex shop around 16 and was promptly carded and left embarrassed. At 17 I went to a different one and purchased my first vibrator, terrified of being carded again but all went well

I went into one when all my girlfriends and I turned 18 and could get in, just to see what was in there.
The first real in-store experience, to buy something, was when I was 21.

I was so uncomfortable as well! I was 18 and walked in with my husband (boyfriend at the time) but the owners of the shop were creepers.

I went to a small gross one with my cousins. There were viewing rooms in the back and there were creepy old men. Nasty!

I went in when I was underage. Probably about 17.

I was 15 or 16, and my best friend brought me. She's barely older than me but had been bought her first vibe by her mother - lucky!

I was 16 and snuck into one to see what it was like...it was a pretty sleazy shop that mostly had videos. I was disappointed. We got kicked out after a few minutes anyway.

I was with friends from college, driving around aimlessly. They decided to go to a sex shop and I was nervous, but went along. I wasn't going to stay in the car. No one bought anything.

I was 16, it was in Germany and I didn't get carded because I didn't buy anything. I was paranoid the whole time that someone would think I looked too young and try to kick me out :O

The first time I looked at an online sex shop? I have no idea. Probably 11 or 12.

I've frequented online shops since I was about 16 and went to my first real-life shop when I was 18, I think. The local sex shop is actually right down the street from where I live, actually, but I don't go there much. Not much selection and VERY expensive. A friend and I do go in for laughs every once in a while, porn titles are GREAT for a quick laugh.

I think I was younger, they didn't really care as long as you looked the part. I was pretty naive then so I bet my eyes were huge.

I was actually really pissed off when I found out my best friend had gone to a sex shop without me when we were in Munich...they're so much classier than in the USA and I had never been inside one
