Birthday shopping

I went to the local sex shop today. It is one of those nice well lit women's versions of a porn shop and is quite nice. This one is particularly good about trying to remove the scaryness the average american would get by visiting such a place. They come up to you and say if you have any questions make sure and ask and that you can pick up any of the items. Just make yourself at home.

I consider myself pretty well informed about sex. I asked the lady about something and she assumed I was a shy guy that didn't know anything. That is fine. I purposefully said some things to let her know that I wasn't shy. A funny thing happened. It kinda became a polite little battle. No matter what, in her mind it was impossible for me to be well informed. As I said something, it was discounted... Oh, but my girl is a med student she is not shy about anatomy. But, oh so what, they don't teach things like this. Blah, blah. It really felt like I was at Best Buy or something and was talking to the sales dude about computers. It even felt more like a Best Buy experience when I was listening to the lady hawk a higher priced model over a lower priced model.. Yeah, but the motor on this thing will break after 3 months, you should buy this one that cost 5 times more. Uh. Right. Anyway. It was just weird.
