Please keep this post up. Can yall give me some tips for my first time at an Adult Book Store or an Arcade? What’s fun to do, how much for the booths, what’s allowed, and what’s the vibe like there? I’m cool with whatever, just want to enjoy myself.

I think Dostoevsky is a good place to start when you’re ready for an adult book store.
Tips: Rodya, Rodion Romanovich and Raskolnikov ARE THE SAME PERSON. So are Sofia Semyonovna, Sonia and Sonechka. If you aren’t familiar with Russian naming conventions, it seems like there are 3X more people than there actually are.
Also, Dostoevsky recycles names in his different novels. The characters are unrelated.
I needed a CliffsNotes and a notepad to keep all the names straight.
Isn’t there a chart in the front?
This was not explained to me.
I do not remember the book well, but I remember being confused AF.
I prefer Tolstoy myself
Wow, these still exist?
Adult book store is just a sex shop. Toys, porn, etc… Not much to do but shop your pervy heart out.
As for an adult arcade, expect ugly people and look out for random bodily fluids left behind. Sometimes a kinky couple will invite strangers to do things. What’s allowed and what goes on can be two different things. Adult arcades can be pretty gross and not for everyone.
lol wtf is this post
I think it’s the equivalent of LostRedditors
BOL = Bot Of Lemmy
You can check out porn and sex toys at the adult store. My friends and I always had dildo sword fights.
You can play video games and maybe skeeball and stuff at the arcade. Like I don’t know what you expect from a room filled with games. 🤷🏻♂️
Are you going alone or with a friend? Live arcade or video? If you’re going alone and it’s a video arcade, it’s the same as sitting at home on your couch except with the remnants of a thousand other people, so don’t sit down.
Can somebody explain to me the terms “adult book store” and “adult arcade”?
What we have here are sex shops that sell mostly toys, sex shops that focus on dvds and magazines, is it that?
And what’s the arcade? Is it what we call “Pornokino” im Germany? A dark room with 6 booths with a TV set a chair and a tissue box? Or do you have sexy arcade cabinets and orgies there?
(Edit: Btw: For NSFW questions there is !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com which also is a nice community to ask such things.)
Adult book store is for the most part an outdated term. There aren’t books, but rather sometimes magazines, and with the advent and accessibility of streaming porn, there are less and less movie rentals.
However, there usually is a decent selection of sex toys and “fetish” wear. I air quoted “fetish”, because it’s often just vanilla stuff like lingerie, stockings, and very mild kink wear.
That’s why for the most part, these days, they’re just referred to under the umbrella of an “adult store”.
Some of these stores also may have attached " arcades". Again air quoted, because they aren’t an arcade in the sense most commonly attributed to the term. There aren’t games, slots, etc. There are however typically booths, some with glory holes between them. You feed a screen money to play pornography, and you can beat your meat alone, or beat your neighbors meat, or any number of combinations of meat beating.
Very rarely, an “arcade” might involve paying money for a window to open, and you watch either a professional entertainer do things, or watch your neighbors do things. This seems a little more rare, though.
There are also adult theaters, which have their own deal going on. They also may include stores and arcades.
Alright. Thanks. Seems I know the concepts, just not the names. I don’t think I’m into these booths 😅
Maybe I’d consider these theatres where some swinger people meet. If I someday feel the urge to do so.
I think we have an appropriate amount of adult shops in the city where I live. They’re quite different in selection and atmosphere. Some look a bit more filthy(?) and are still filled with DVDs. Some are modern, clean and well lit. Last one I visited has a fetish shop on the upper floor with more equipment and expensive clothing, not just the stockings and 25€ sexy maid outfits with cutouts for the ass cheeks…
What the heck is an adult arcade?
Similar to a regular arcade, but bring your own joystick
