Essay/Term paper: Trip to the porno shop

Essay, term paper, research paper:  Miscellaneous

Before going into Phase II, I didn"t really feel anything out of the ordinary.

I have been in that store a few times, and don"t find it offensive in any way. My

only feeling about being in that store is a sense of sexual overload on the senses.

There is so much sexually oriented material there that it is almost overwhelming.

I drove there with three friends from my house, who are also in the HDFS

240 class. Their feelings on the store were generally similar to mine. We all

agreed, however, that it is more uncomfortable to go in alone than in a group. So,

with the four of us, the uncomfortable feelings were eased.

The first item I selected was a movie, titled, "Ready to Drop: Volume 7."

The film was priced at $10.95. The box displayed pictures of pregnant women in

a variety of sexual acts. The photos appeared to be of low quality, and the scenery

and actors in the pictures also seemed to be in the more inexpensive range. I

selected this item because it grabbed my attention. It was something out of the

ordinary, as movies go, so I decided I should take a look at it.

My second item was a product called the "Super Suction Penis Pump." The

box was very plain, with only a small block of text describing how a man could

"watch his cock grow to unbelievable dimensions!" The product is designed to

increase the size of the penis in both length and thickness. This product was on

sale for $21.95, and was an open-box special, which was interesting in itself. I

chose this one because it was sitting on top of a pile of movies, and I knocked it

onto the floor. So, I figured that, since I already had to pick it up, I"d just write

about it.

Finally, my favorite choice was "The Famous Erotic Love Piggie." This

item can be purchased for a mere $12.95, and provides hours of "Farm fun." The

picture on the front showed a drawing of a pig wearing a bikini. This box was also

very plain, and didn"t give any description or photo of the product. We could only

guess what amazing craftsmanship was invested in that $12.95 piggie. I chose this

item because it was the most entertaining item there. It seemed to be the only one

of it"s kind, so it grabbed my attention.

After having gone into the store, I didn"t feel any different that before.

Inside, I felt comfortable looking around through the products because so many of

them are so outlandish and humorous. It is almost like a store of gag gifts and

jokes. The trip was fun and entertaining, but due to prior experience there, did not

make any significant impact on my views or feelings on adult shops.
