Today I wore my “Pervert” tank top to work. I don’t do this often. People look at my face, then look at my chest. Look at my face, look at my chest. Look confused. My pigtails and red lipstick are so sweet and cute and a pervo tank top is (to most) so…not. But today, it had to happen.

See, last night there was this woman. A customer. In the store.

And I don’t really talk shit about the customers. I love them. Besides supporting a company that I own, they are why I do what I do. Without customers, the store would be nothing. Without questions, a sex-educator can’t answer much. However. This woman.

After being super sweet about her questions, and being highly inquisitive, after being a doll, this woman turned wrong. She got mean.

As a coworker was explaining our “G Marks the Spot” dvd (which is fantastic and informative and hosted by none other than Ms. Sex Genius herself, Dr. Carol Queen), this custie interupted and asked a clarifying question.

“So there’s sex in there?”

“Yes. But it’s cool, after explaining how everything works, you get to see it in action.”

And this is where I got annoyed. You all know how much I love my porn. Custie said:

“Well, could I get that same information from a book? Because I really don’t believe in the porn industry, and I really don’t want to support it.”

After this she pushed my limits a little more and asked my coworker whether or not she had gone to college, and said “oh…”, when the answer was “I’m in college now” as if this either A) suprised her, or B) made sense in the way of “only someone who was ‘putting herself through college’ would have this job.”

I wanted to scream. Wanna know what I wanted to scream?

(ahem. clearing my throat. ready?)

WE MADE THAT VIDEO. WE ARE THE “PORN INDUSTRY” YOU DO NOT WANT TO SUPPORT. THIS IS A DAMN GOOD JOB. WE JUST SOLD YOU COOL STUFF AND GAVE YOU ADVICE ON HOW TO HAVE FUCKING GREAT SEX AND YOU’RE EMBARRASED FOR US THAT WE WORK HERE?!

WHY?!

why? (can I use a internet-ism? yes. W T F.)

G Marks the Spot is educational. It’s erotic. It’s sexy. It’s made and sold and promoted by Good Vibrations. It is made to help you, and her, and me, and everyone. Sex is good. Sex is healthy. Asking questions about sex is okay and more than okay. Putting down the people who give you the answers about sex is wrong wrong WRONG.

Here’s the deal:

Don’t ever insult another person’s job. Ever.

On top of that:

Don’t insult another person’s job especially when that person’s job is to help you.

Further:

Don’t insult another person’s job, especially when that person’s job is to help you with sex advice and purchases.

Because we will answer your questions without shaming you the way you shame us. And you should not ever take advantage of that. Ever.

Proud to distribute the information so many people are afraid to recieve,

*note: this blog has been altered. I erased what this woman had bought, because none of that reall matters. What matters is that she was disrespectful and entitled. This is why I was angry. And even being disrespectful and entitled, she still has a right to shop and have great sex. Sorry if there was any confusion on this.
