[QUOTE=Rete;7002780]It is a Romantic Depot? If so, they are a chain and very low key. We have two within short driving distance of us and whenever I drive by there are few cars in the lot and the ones that are there are not junkers.

No, it's a NC headquartered chain called Adam and Eve. Original name, isn't it?

If we got one around here I would not be concerned, I would be amazed.

The first time Keith visited me, I accidentally took him into a store in the mall that sold some adult stuff ![Embarrassment](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/redface.gif)
That was a chain, and not hardcore at all - I wouldn't mind having that nearby in the slightest.
Once, however (after knowing each other a bit better
) we went into a standalone adult store in Indiana. That was very creepy - not the merchandise, but the attitude, and the type of customers. The customers were very very creepy. I would not be eager to have that nearby at all.
I think they key is what type of clientele they cater to.

I visited an adult shop a few months back and it was quite a different experience to visiting one in London and elsewhere in the US. The one I visited, on the Durham/Chapel Hill border, had a turnstile like entrance after you came through the front door. In addition, they carded me before I could start perusing
Just before that occurred, I had noticed a sign saying they check ID for anyone under 21...
![Mad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/mad.gif)
There's one like that on our way to the summer cottage and we stopped once for a browse. Had the turnstile entrance and was quite low keyed and the patrons didn't look or act strange. Lots of truckers though.

amazes me. They start a petition up over something so trivial. If half of them had a good bonk they wouldnt be such prudes. You can find Great stocking fillers for the stuck up witch at work.
Sex is the most normal thing in the world. In our town they went nuts at a nude badly made statue of a man. Now if i knew anyone with a penis like the one portrayed in this statue i would have taken him to the ER!
We should do a poll who has or hasnt frequented a sex shop.. I actually went to a sex toy party a few weeks ago. How things have evolved. there are things attached that wiggle, and buzz .. and what pretty colours. And the clothing goes to 3x..... hey not the ann summers size extra small!! Oh and these rings with what looked like teeth in them. I got to get that mag out again.

Ok, so I don't know how true this story is. But rumor has it that when an adult store, Hustler's, opened in Monroe, Ohio, the local churches were all ticked off. So in retribution, apparently one of the church's fundraised to build this statue - which is quite clearly seen from I-75.
