That vocabulary was terrific! Everyone should read it to cheer themselves up. Who knew there was a name for arousal over statues!

To Nicky:
AWESOME essay! I really enjoyed the approach you used in giving us all little snapshots of where you were working, that A-Z format. Your writing is entertaining and organized without being super-formal. Great job!!!
BTW: you definitely have a great porno name. Be proud. I doubt my name 'Jennifer' takes up that many pages in the porno encyclopedia you mentioned.

I actually printed this one to keep. I am a writer and wish I could claim this piece as mine! I tell my students that no subject is so lowly that it cannot be turned into 'fine art' by a good writer. Thanks Nicky for proving what many of us already know--sex is both an art and capable of producing it.

Yes, a very enjoyable piece of writing. The most enjoyable I have come across since reading those "Letters to Wendy" some time ago. And ,yes, as one of the other comments said, it's best to keep toddlers out of sex shops. It would be far too intimidating to a) associate sexuality with any sort of natural reproductive end-result, and b) who would want to be intimidated having a child in a stroller grin and drool at you knowing that he'd had contact with female breasts and genitalia more frequently than some of the customers? For shame! Send the little scoundrels home! Thanks!

I enjoyed this more than anything else I've read in a while. The honest voice inside of us all is something a writer should strive for, but is not always heard. Thanks for listening Ms. beer.

pretty good article. by far the best title i ever saw in our store was the immortal "Pee, Midget, Pee." i thought the John Holmes realistic dong should have to be registered as a lethal weapon.
oh, and maybe we're just careful, but no babies in the store. not only is it against the law, but imagine how it would make your middle-age male customers feel!

Nicky Beer (what a name) seems too comely and attractive to work in a sleazy sex toy store. Out here in So Calif we have shops similiar to Fredericks of Hollywood, et al. They are a far cry from the sex shops of 30 years ago. Blow up dolls and huge dildos are so disgusting--I am over 50 and no prude, but give me a break. My girlfriend has surprised me with crotchless thongs, killer stilettos and girl on girl videos which are very hot. A few salesclerks are knockouts, but most are reasonably attractive young women.

The whole piece is great. It has been a long long while since Nerve has published a piece like this. Every section... well done.

I think Tran is a name of a person from Vietnam, not Korea.

the truth in advertizing bit was killer--i was laughing while reading the entire thing just from the dirty movie title. i don't think i really absorbed the rest of it. and that's the truth.
