although illegal, it happens. my porn shop has video booths, and its a popular cruising hang out. we want to connect with them more, talk with them, break the ice, let them know what the store is doing but many of the cruisers are private, don't say much to us. we post on popular cruising sites now and then saying that our store has video booths sort of to bait the crowd thats out there, keeping our spot fresh in their minds.
we smile, some joke, we've let a few know how nice it is to use lube sometimes, special tricks to do with condoms. but none of them see the store, which, would be nice for business too. we keep as clean as we can too, provide towels and such. condoms, rush, and all sorts of things right at the counter for them to see.
after all we are a sex shop, why not enhance a hookup?

after much thinking, i decided to write a newsletter, informational, advertisement, health oriented write up.

my first one is going to be about prostate health, and play - we just got in the Nexus Glide, and I'm excited for all the men, and I want to let them know. It is well written, to a neutral male audience.. there are some straight men who go up, as well as couples who use the booths as well.. so i kept it neutral.


I want to name the paper something witty, funny, silly. the best i've come up with (without offending ANYONE) is

The Wanker Digest


But I don't know if I'm in love with it.

What do you think of this idea? how can I improve upon it? And please please throw out some name suggestions. Its just going to be 1 - 2 pages, written in a 3 column format maybe a couple of pics for product and movie reviews. crossword one week. sudoku another, a comic another week...
not all in one, but make the weeks something like

Health + comic
Toy review + pictures of it, and how to use it
Movie review + crossword
Store news + sodoku
Community news/Adult Video/news + word search

some cruisers are up there for hours at a time.. pacing, watching the videos, some come every week, others come every day.

I think its a nice idea, well, at least I think it is a nice idea...
 
Guess you're talking about Gloryholes? Cocksuckers Anonymous?
 
Cruisers and more weekly

I know not the best but darnit I haven't been inside a porn shop in a while and never one with booths. :eek:
 
maybe

something with the name of your store in in.

or your first name. something that makes the business a little more personal to the customer. ie: Cindy's weekly raves

hope it helps
 
can't say anything about 'cruising' because the act is illegal, so i can't 'encourage it' like that.

any other fun names?
i don't want it to just say my name because i work with other people, it will likely be me writing most of the papers though.

so, it isn't a bad idea?
 
Tube and Lube?

Tug and Poke?

Toke and Poke?

Hmmm, I kinda think the last one has a different meaning. :eek:

Wrap and Roll?

I think I better head to bed before I get weirder. Yeah it is actually possible, or maybe I get normal, I never am able to remember. :eek:
 
Yep, every single one I ever ventured into. :mad:

The one nearest to us now, the best it can offer is a private room to try out some of the toys. Though it's not very big, the next closest is one of those chain stores and they barely even contain toys it's mostly lingerie and soft porn tapes. :rolleyes:
 
Enhanced Male?
Wandering Eye?
Harmful if Swallowed?
The Sticky Pages?
Sticky Notes?
Idle Hands?
Palm Filler?

Well, there's tons of toys here, I haven't even seen any softcore, and there are definately booths in all the ones I've been to. You can even get Salvia and all kinds of different types of pipes. Of course, those are for legal tobacco only. ;) There isn't much of a point of a tryout room, though, since that would make the item nonreturnable, anyway.
