Well’s Books

There is construction in front of this store and somehow the «Adult» part of the store name was either blocked by the construction gates or too small for me to read from the other side of the street or I just missed it all together. Whatever the case, I popped in after work expecting this to be a wellness bookstore. It is not.
So here’s the deal, folks. I’m not a prude and have shopped for adult items before. I went inside hoping to find some books on aromatherapy or balanced diets, but instead there was a giant double ended dildo staring at me sideways. Also, I was still in business mode and porn was the furthest thing from my mind. I just wasn’t expecting it and couldn’t hide the shocked look on my face.
Regardless of all this, the clerks were really nice and welcoming (and maybe that was because I looked so shocked.) I browsed for a bit, because I didn’t want to be rude and walk out right away.
This shop is small but has a lot of products. If you’re into it, they’ve got it. Even if you’re not into it and you’re planning a Bachelorette party, they’ve got that too.
I didn’t like that it was so bright inside. A little mood lighting would have been nice to create some ambiance and some soft lighting would make the products look more enticing. Also, the shelves don’t go up very high, which means that everyone in the store can see what you’re looking at. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I like my privacy. I don’t want everyone in the shop all up in my business.
I met eyes with a gentleman a few aisles over. We gave each other the polite «it’s totally normal to make eye contact while you’re looking at that» nod and then I made my exit. With my luck, I’ll run into that guy on the train or in my office building.

Simple in and out thanks to the wonderful cashier /​sales woman.
It has the basics. Gross porn viewing section in the back, weird trench coat guy in the lesbot section, and a wall of schweens in all shapes and colors. It is probably the only place in the loop which makes me happy, because a trip to Belmont is not always wanted. I recommend Wells to all my lovely Loopers. If you get hungry, there is a Taco Fresco or what ever right next door. No pun intended. Okay it was… because who needs to bring up food when schweens involved… well George Costanza but still…
The sales woman is very informative. She knows her stuff, which I guess if you are in a small room of all things covered in latex you would have to be. She also had some funny stories to share of the pervy business men who creep in with «ladies of the night». Ladies of the night stories happen to be my favorite, so I was intrigued and won over in the 7 minutes I was there.
