Yes,she has done for both and for our anniversary too and i love it when she does this.I find it both romantic and sexy as a lot of thought goes into what she is buying for me.When we go away on holiday etc. she will always pack for me and i love every day and evening as she presents me with what she wants to see me wearing.The last two times away she has packed two days short meaning sometime during the trip it is a visit to a lingerie shop.She will also treat me then for being a forgetful wife though she will always take time choosing and it will once again be obvious who will be wearing the purchases due to size difference and also the way she holds the items against me whilst choosing.
Yes once Iâm in there and donât recognise anyone
@HappyInPanties - I do the same - I will often place on the bed lingerie I want him to wear after a shower - but I also when shopping place items against him and say that these will look good on you âŚ

I am looking to visit Amsterdam in the next year or two - but never been there before - so we will look into the sex shops as Iâm always looking for lingerie for him
I have had latex lingerie in the past but I found it horrible- the knickers looked terrible and it took hours to get a shine and then they were so uncomfortable to wear
As for gloves - I have quite a few in mesh / sheer nylon , satin and wet look - these look so good and use them when being a dominatrix to spank my husband- but he also loves satin gloves when itâs milking time âŚ
Does it make a difference if one is solo or with a partner? Personally I find it easy to go in solo but far more interesting to share with a partner⌠usually less comfortable than I am.
@Himeros1 - next week in in London and Iâm going to take my husband into the soho sex shops - I love to see his reaction when I touch and feel the large dildos

I remember in the late 90âs maybe early 00âs the Hustler âmegastoreâ opening in Birmingham city centre. It was huge and light and airy unlike the typical back street stores. But everything was overpriced and not exactly well made.
Much prefer Lovehoney for price and quality and guarantees.

I used to regularly visit an adult/fetish shop in London. Once in the shop no problemâŚ
The only slight issue was the daily street market right outside meaning lots of people aroundâŚ
And the waiting to be let in because you had to ring the bellâŚ
Having to wait to be let in, in a busy area, would certainly add a new twist to it. One of my local shops also runs a âladies nightâ every Wednesday which seems like a good idea. Only females allowed in between 6 and 9 pm. Itâs just unfortunate that there is a very popular strip club right next door. LOL

No issue whatsoever so long as they arenât dodgy dingy shops with dvds etc . I love a good adult shop on the high street and donât care how long Iâm in there for.

Speaking of dogy dingy⌠whoâs old enough to remember âpeps showsâ in the seedier shops?
Of course Iâm comfortable in sex shops - in fact, Iâm replying to this in one right now. If you see me come and say hello, I donât bite ⌠much. 
Im confortable as a Man, but I remember sending my GF into a sex shop to get some handcuffs lol. She absolutely freaked!! âNo way am I going in thereâ she said. I asked why and she was so embarrassed going in as a Woman. We went in together in the end she was like a kid in a candy shop lol. ALAS we came out with r
those fluffy pink handcuffs, not my thing at all, but hey it was fun.
I am far too nervous to be going in the high street one.
This is why i canât thank Lovehoney enough as they have saved me over the years and mean I donât need to miss out
I am comfortable in adult shops and dont care who knows but one thing i find very uncomfortable is lingerie shopping as i feel judged when they look at the size and what lingerie i am buying so i am happier buying it online

Wow! We are 60 replies deep so far. I thought this was silly topic thinking not much would come from it. I figured most remembered the 80âs or 90âs but it seems the same issues still apply in the 2020âs. You either own the shop or slink in behind your partner.
I think weâd be in the âown the shopâ cohort !
My o/h had been in a few times to the usual female-aimed shop, but about a year ago we braved it and went into a more specialised shop in a nearby town and the assistant was really good. It was just like looking at the things in any hobby shop, no embarrassment at all.
Further emboldened by this, more recently we went to a male themed shop in Soho which was quite full on. Exactly the same experience, good staff and not seedy at all, even though neither of us are gay (we are a hetro couple) and we bought some good bondage stuff.
However, must admit we prefer buying from LH as it is so easy online, the genuine reviews are very helpful too.
Doesnât seem like a problem though
I find going into shops and having a browse quite liberating. The people shopping in there arenât going to judge you and the retail workers there definitely wonât.
Its a much different experience getting to actually see and hold the items youâre thinking about buying, itâs arousing and exciting in itself.
The presence of sex shops is also quite a reflection on the local culture as well and if that local community is open and progressive
