16 adult toy store employees admit their workplace secrets — and share what they really think of customers

Let’s be honest, going to an adult toy store for the first time can be nerve-racking! While everyone will have different experiences, for most people, there will be at least a little bit of apprehension. Like, how does some of that stuff even work? Or perhaps your biggest fear will be what the super friendly people working in the store will think about you. We get it, we know talking openly and honestly about your sex lives and the things you like in the bedroom with a complete stranger can be a little daunting.

And if it’s that scary for you, can you imagine what it must be like for them? Completely normal, as it turns out — it is their job, after all. Like all jobs, there is a lot to learn from working at a sex shop, and thanks to Whisper we’ve got 16 adult store employees sharing their workplace secrets.

I work in a sex shop. I've seen it all. Your fantasies are normal. You're not the only one. As long as everyone is having fun and no one is really getting hurt. Just relax and enjoy!

I used to work in an adult store and a blonde asked "how much for the silver dildo behind the counter?" That's the day I made $75 selling my thermos.

I work at a sex shop. Love my job. I just helped a woman older than me who was in a huge rut. Never used toys or anything. I think she and her husband are in for a great night.

I work in a sex shop and I notice a lot of the older customers rent or buy black/interracial porn. More than the younger customers that come in. I find that fascinating

I have had so many jobs and every single one had ended badly. I now work in an adult store and not only is it the best job ever, but this is the only one I see with no regrets attached
