Start with the way they open the door.
Some people put their faces on the outside glass of our big storefront windows, pretending to watch ordinary Hollywood movies, while secretly staring their eyes at the room marked "adult XXX.
"Some people try to sneak in, face down on their shoulders and head to one side.
My station was right next to the entrance and knew they were caught and they turned around and greeted me with a smile, which was no different from the hyena.
Some broke in and shouted their request before the door hit the opposite wall.
There are constantly some people among them.
In their 30 s, straight, different races and economic populations are bound by one thing. -pornography.
No matter how they announce themselves in the Philadelphia sex store, there are two things for sure: 1.
They're too stupid, or too old.
Download their porn movies. 2.
Their behavior is more telling and disturbing than what they buy.
There may be three things.
No matter who they are, they want a virgin.
An unsealed, unopened film: they want to break the seal first.
You can't judge someone for watching porn.
At least I don't know.
Before I became a shop assistant in an adult video store, I bought porn myself.
We all have weird quirks: I sold the pedophile to the businessman who came in during lunch breakcore, couples-
A movie for a mob wearing a blue turban.
Taste is private and I don't want to be judged for my fantasy world.
But what worries me is not what my customers see;
That's how they shop.
Maybe they'll wait outside before the store opens and rush in, like some corrupt farmers picking strawberries, hiding fresh nut boxes in their arms.
I once asked a customer why he had more than 20 boxes on his arm.
He glanced at me as if I had just asked him why the stars were shining and then replied, "so no one got them.
"If customers can't afford to buy every new title, they will hide in the dark corner, away from the light and touch of another man, until you can find some of the most beautiful virgins in the depths of the gay men's area where you rarely shop.
After hiding the quarry on gay male shelves, they will come back on another day and find that it has not been touched by rival opposite sex.
They will ask me "what do you have that is not on the floor ".
The video returned that has not yet been put back on hold is clearly visible through bullet-proof glass.
"That, above.
What will they ask.
When I put the movie through the location they provided, they provided a dizzying leer.
They certainly know that the film has not been dealt with by others today.
They don't ask themselves to come into my space and grab the box of my future inventory like they are checking a display dog.
I 've never been asked, "is this porn," or "Do people like this," or "Do you have a video like this ? "and-
Such sexual behavior "the most common problem is," who has had it in front of me ", like a woman under Islamic law, the film loses its value when touched by another man.
My customers are not abnormal.
My store doesn't even offer the core titles that our competitors offer.
After all, there are a lot of porn retailers in Philadelphia, and we all serve different customers.
When others slip on the edge of legitimate pornography, we act safely.
When the actor/director Belladonna's film made headlines in an obscene trial, we quietly deleted the relevant titles.
Our fetish is as vanilla as your evening sitcom.
Of course, part of my daily life includes explaining why it's illegal to hand in Penn and occasionally showing off my porn --
History proves this by decoding what someone has called the meaning of "original new wave prostitute" (the film Traci Lords starring at the age of 17 replaced Lords with Ginger Lynn's scene) and kicking them out, because they mention child pornography subtly.
But the face that asks these questions rarely reappears.
No, our regulars are more concerned about the mixed acquisition of pornographic content than about it.
They asked a lot, "there's no anal sex, right ".
Many of my regulars were turned off by it.
Ordinary people in my shop would rather eat a bone.
Dry film with high quality production value and finalized bleaching-
Post-90 days post-implantation of blonde hair (see: Jenna James ).
In short, they will not find anything particularly annoying or abnormal.
However, the way they hide and chase the intact box is a fetish.
I didn't understand this greedy behavior at first.
I think maybe they just force.
Maybe they were scared by other customers too.
But after a while, I began to realize how personal and strange these men are in contact with women in movies who don't want to rent a house online or move online, but spend money to take possession.
A friend of mine moved to Los Angeles and became a young male film actor.
One day he sent me a picture of him and his girlfriend.
The title is, "looks familiar", in fact, I just put her latest movie on the list and she was artificially placed on the lid in front of me, naked.
I immediately sent him a picture of the box and laughed at the coincidence.
Later that day, one of my regulars picked it up and put it on my counter. "Good-
I asked. it looks like a girl. "Uh-huh.
"I blocked the deal in the conversation and he seemed angry.
"My friend is dating her. Check it out.
"I held up my phone and shared the image of a girl who had no makeup and no hair extensions and put her arms around a young man with a button --up shirt.
He put the movie back on the shelf and went back to the checkout counter with an exotic girl in the box that I could not have known.
He seemed angry because I showed personality to the girl.
These people in the video are as empty as their forged shells, just tools on the spot.
Now I showed her another man, a man who is not my customer.
I stained the girl. Spoiled her.
I made her a reality.
