Why the one way ticket to Coventry? See your mail. The reason I posted here was that I know you read the forum unlike your emails. See my reply in the "jj get in touch" thread if you feel intimidated by the prospect of your emails. Theres a few things which we should discuss before we attend the next prayer meeting.
Now go in peace to love and serve the lord.
(fuck me! is that the time? I should be working)

Gus. Let me be serious for a minute (break the habit of a lifetime). Habit geddit?
I personally use mail order (not necessarily internet) as I feel outfits such as Your Choice, STB, and many others offer a first class service by the good old fashioned method of me sending them a cheque. I have tested Your Choices online service and I find that telephoning them my order results in just as quick a delivery as doing it online, infact sometimes phoning them in Amsterdam results in quicker delivery but this may be due do differing grades of slothism betweeen UK agents. I should also add for those of you scared to phone that the telephone girls are very helpfull and friendly unlike the staff in many sexshops. One of the girls at Your Choice actually helped me by recommending a better title. The phone staff are all are either English or Dutch (who speak better English than wot we do and with a sexier accent). My reasons for not using sexshops are well known. Outside of London it is hard to find a sexshop that is not owned by a man who has ripped punters off for decades. I would rather speak to a pleasant Dutch lady than a knuckle dragging bloke in a UK shop. Prices are cheaper by mail order also.
Dont worry about ordering online. And dont forget Your Choices telephone ordering is even easier. (can I have that tenner now please Jay? LOL)

I've never ever been in a porn shop in my life - and I never will. I shop on-line which has its plus as well as negative points. I see hope that Britporn will become "trendy" like so much of Britculture. Attitudes in society are changing fast and mainstream on-line providers like
www.amazon.co.uk are starting to offer adult videos (albeit soft-core) at reasonable prices. Playboy movies can be bought from high street stores too. It's a start atleast

Well,
For what its worth I think if the punters approach sex shops as 'seedy' places then they are going to seem seedy to the 'normal' public.
I never feel awkward or embarassed when I go to sex shops & have even been known to show what i've bought to people after in the pub.(Not in secret under the table but out in the open)
I don't care at all what people think of me or my friends as we know who & what we are & are not ashamed to say 'we like sex & sex shops!' I admit that I am a porn model & actress though so mayby it's expected of me,....is it?
Mayby if the people that go to sex shops were proud to stand up & admit it & say sex is not seedy/wrong then eventualy society will have a more tollerant view of porn & all it's wonderfull joys.
As for the price thing, yes some smaller sex shops do charge higher prices but this could be due to high rents, the cost of licences etc. I'm not really up on the cost of running one!But you do get to see the products before you buy so thats one plus.
One last thought, I've always quite liked doing things that other people find offensive so that was one of the things that drew me to porn. I like the fact that the way I make my living shocks people & there is the beauty of it.
As long as people find porn/sex shocking & seedy it keeps the moralists away from our horny world. You can't have acceptable taboos or they arn't taboo!
Licks N Sucks.

Porn is not trendy at he moment due to a tide of middle-class political correctness sweeping the land. Oh yes, we can legally buy shag videos at last, but the New Labour fuckers who gave way to the inevitable did so through gritted teeth. Porn is still a pariah in virtually all of the mainstream media because the mainstream media is staffed by young, politically correct, middle-class folk - they write and make most of the programs - and it is currently de riguer amongst this group of pretentious tossers to denounce porn as exploitative of 'wimmin.'
It wasn't always so. In the mid to late 60's to early 70's it was fashionable amongst this group of prats to champion porn and the rights of the citizens to view it (remember Lady Chataley's Lover, the OZ trail etc?) This was a time when - due to the support of the middle classes porn almost broke through into the mainstream. Indeed ground braking films like Deep Throat and the Mitchell brother's 'Behind The Green Door' were being shown in packed US cinemas to huge critical acclaim. But just before porn could bust out along came a new fashion trend - 'Wimmin's rights' - and virtually overnight the same poncy twats who were campaigning for porno freedom took a totally opposite stance, for no other reason other than that Wimmin's rights, being the latest thing, was more fashionable than porno.
Yes, sex and porn were far trendier in the 60's and 70's and even 80's. Remember the sublime Carry-On films, the 'Confessions' films, Benny Hill, etc. Sex was big fun and there were 'Wheyhey!' type references to it in virtually every newspaper (except the Mail of course) magazine and TV program. Now if sex is mentioned on TV at all it is usually by some earnest po faced twat on the BBC or Channel 4 News sporting a turned up nose.
If porn were to become trendy again you would get top babes wanting to be in it - in the late eighties you got loads of very tasty young ladies like Debbie Ashby, Linda Lusardi, Cathy Lloyd etc, wanting to be glamour models - because hey, it was glamourous and they might get noticed by a millionaire. But it certainly ain't glamourous anymore.
Who knows if porn will become trendy again? Everything seems to be leveling out (increasing entropy) no one seems particularly interested in anything at the moment. We've seen the porn, we've surfed the net, we've had the clothes, cars and money. So what's left to get excited about?

I thought you made a very good point there. The problem that I have with porn shops is not that they're "seedy", but I don't think they are as relevant in this age of the internet. I do like the privacy afforded to me by shopping for videos on-line, whereas going to a porn shop is just too much hassle.

I tell you. Some of the people who post here would not even dare phone in an order never mind go into a shop (thats despite thier verbosity on the forum). Bloody Big Softies Who Wear Veets as my long deceased PE teacher would have said. Move it lads! On the double! Quick march etc. God bless you Dicky Bong!

Thank you Raj. The officer's always making good points, that good that I fear they pass over the heads of many forunites.
