Confession time - how many of you have been in a shop like this (mainly selling 3d ero stuff) when you visited Japan?
And for those who have not visited - would you walk into one?
Do you have places like this in your region?

And if you are wondering who the girl on the left is - click on the uncensored image on this page.

    Hmmm.... the raunchiest shop I've ever been in is Ann Summers (famous UK sex/toy shop) I was with friends in Norwich after getting outfits for our last day, and we all went in for a laugh(boys and girls)
    I dunno if I'd go in the adult 3D girl shops.... but I'd definately go into the adult 2D girl shops! You couldn't stop me if you tried!!!

      Agreed. I didn't see any 3D girl shops over there, although staying near Kabuki-cho meant plenty of offers of 'authentic Japanese culture'... ah-hem. And, I did wander into a couple of 2D girl places... came out blushing...

    I accidentally walked into one in Ikebukuro in late 2003, I was looking for a place where I could watch a bunch of DVDs I had bought in Shibuya and mistakenly thought the store was a normal video rental place where one was given a room to watch the videos. I ended up staying for 5~ hours =) The free condoms and the anime-themed sponges they gave out amused me, wish I'd kept them as souvenirs :/

I was in this one store,in the idol/AV section and they had a guest star Anna Kanzaki, they gave away some of her clothes, I didnt buy a ticket for the event so I couldn't win anything.

    When I was in Japan, I went in 2D ones... didn't see exclusive 3D ones though.

    Well, I was in a magazine shop with lots of different stuff, including ero 3D. But it had lots of non-ero stuff too, so I guess it doesn't count.

    But I'd have no problem going on those.


    In my region, I don't think there are lots of specialized 3D ero magazine stores... mainly because there isn't enough ero magazines publishings to fill a store around here.

    But I've been in ero shops that sell lots of different things... like inflatable dolls and stuff. Not much interested in those, so I just went in out of curiosity.

    If they had tengas, dakimakuras and candy girls here, I'd be interested though. :P

    We have three of these type shops in my area. One is privately owned adult video with the windows covered up. The second looks is next to the freeway (also adult video with windows covered up). The third is in the middle of town in what looks like a walmart with no windows. I think its called "Castle" (not sure why). I think they sell videos, "toys", etc. Never been in any of them.

    unfortunately, we don't have a store that sells exclusively ero stuff. if a store do carry those, they are usually concealed and stashed at the backroom and you'll have to ask for it. it sucks really.

    Tachibana's in Shinjuku West. I even had a frequent shopper card. ^_^;;;

    I have absolutely no qualms about going into such a shop, unlike here in Australia, where they make it seem like the worst crime possible, just through the many corners you have to turn before you enter (so absolutely nothing untoward can be seen from the street). And then all they sell is toys... And about 90% of them are for women, whereas in a japanese equivalent shop, it'd be 50/50 if not in favour of the guys... I miss being able to get decent dolphin waxing equipment in this country...

    I have been in a few in Japan (mostly Tokyo areas), and have actually bought a couple of things (that I'm quite happy with). When you get passed the initial embarrassment of going into one, afterward it's no big deal at all. I even talked to the cashiers and employees about a couple of things. (Oh yeah, I speak a little Nihongo.) Then I went passed a girl a few years older than me after leaving and she didn't even take notice.

    It seems that most people here would go in just for a laugh and go back out, but I was in there for a good half our or more in each seriously looking at all that they had. The main problem is that there's just so much of it that to me it's actually more overwhelming than sexy. Most stores I went into had scrammed shelves and small aisles so it was impossible to just pick a spot and choose. Plus, most of the other guys were regular working men more worried about what they were going to get. I'm guessing the creepy guys stay at home and order off the internet. Saw a woman in one of the shops briefly as well.

    It is rather difficult to control one's dolphin when looking at all that, but most of the time I kept mine in check. >_<

    I'm sure that adult shops in Japan are unique, like in no other country. I've seen the photo-report of an adult toys exhibition- it was an amazing fest of the kinkiest and weirdest stuff anyone could imagine! So, I'd like to have at least one of the similar shops in my country- it would be the funniest place to waste the time.

    Unfortunately, I haven't been to Japan yet but I think I would... ah-hem... go into one by mistake ;P. I would probably come out with nocturnel reading material and hit up the nearest 2-D place on top of this. That is, if I hadn't hit a 2-D place before "accidently" winding up in a place like this ;p.

    A bit late but...

    Many years ago, I was walking in a mall that sells mostly computer parts.
    There would be a few pron stores here and there.
    I was walking pass one of the stores when the person in charge of the store invite me in.
    I told him I was under age. (I was 16 at the time, legal age is 18) He told me that's fine.
