I’d driven by the bookstore lots of times. Often, I’d thought about stopping, but I never did. Sometimes, when I got home, I’d close my eyes, and pretend that I had stopped, and gone into one of the booths, and had, well, I’d had a good time.
I’m fifty, married, and work in a profession where discretion is absolutely necessary (I‘m a CPA). My wife has pretty much given up on sex since she started menopause so I’m left with porn and masturbation. Neither does an awful lot for me. I mean, it gets the job done, but its kind of the minimum necessary to get it done.
So, I drove by the adult bookstore again today. This time, though, I turned into the parking lot. There were a few cars there, and I was able to find a spot where my car was mostly screened by a big, black van. I parked, locked up, and went in the door.
The main room was larger than I expected it would be and was mostly filled with shelves about four feet high. Taller shelves lined the walls. To the left, there were hundreds of DVDs in explicit cases, sorted by type. To the right, some lingerie, vibrators and dildos, lube, and other toys. Straight ahead, books and magazines, and a door headed to the back. A checkout counter was just to the right of the door, with a bored-looking older chick sitting behind it. She didn’t even look up.
I paused for a moment as I looked around, and then I went straight ahead and looked at the magazines. There were some common ones, like Penthouse and 50+, and some more-specialized ones, showing bondage, anal, or other variations. A few were available to be browsed; most were wrapped in clear plastic. There were a few bundles of two or three magazines wrapped together. The books were mostly wrapped, too, and they generally addressed variations, mostly bondage or spanking, it looked like.
When I got close enough, I read the sign on the door. It said that you needed tokens to watch videos in the booths, and to buy them at the checkout. It also said that the booths were designed for one person only and that the volume could not be adjusted on the videos.
I wandered past the toy section and noticed the huge variety of condoms offered. There were twenty or so different lubes, and lingerie, stockings, and such of every color and design. When I got back to the checkout, I bought $5 worth of tokens and headed back for the door.
Through the door, there were hallways going left and right, with doors every five feet or so on each side. There were twelve altogether, six down each side. I turned left and went down the hallway. Two of the doors were closed. I could hear voices coming from inside some of them, people or videos, I couldn’t tell.
I opened the last door on the left and went in. It was empty. The TV was playing an advertising loop. I pushed the door closed and put a token in the slot. The TV changed over to a menu, listing eight films, and which channel they were on. I picked “My Neighbor” on channel five, and sat down.
There was a shot of a backyard. A tall redhead in a black bikini walked into the scene and sat in a lounge chair. She began to put tanning lotion on, first her arms, then her legs. She squirted some on her tummy and rubbed it around, then pulled up the top of the bikini, and began to spread lotion on her huge breasts. A guy in a speedo entered the scene. He looked to be half the age of the woman. He said he’d finished mowing and was there anything else she wanted or needed. She told him to sit down, and put lotion on her back. She rolled over, and he began.
It was just then that the door to the booth opened, and a guy looked in. He said, “Oops, sorry. I thought this one was empty.”
“Nope, sorry,” I said.
He stood in the open door and looked at the video. The guy had unhooked the bikini top and was rubbing lotion all over the woman’s back, then up and down her sides under her arms. The guy stood there. He had gotten an erection; the bulge was clearly showing in the front of his swimsuit. It looked very large.
I said, “This video seems pretty good, I think. If you want to watch it, come in and sit down.”
He did, pulling the door shut and latching it before he sat. The bench seat wasn’t too long; we were only a few inches apart as we sat. I looked back up at the video. The guy had his hands on the woman’s butt, inside her bikini bottoms, and was rubbing his thumbs up and down her crack.
