So today I am in a meeting for work. I currently work for a well known sex toys and lingerie company in the UK that does party plan. In this meeting are approximately 20 women who sell vibrators, butt plugs, sexy lingerie, etc, etc. My boss is doing a little talk on link selling and showing a vibrator that is his and hers but not for internal use. "Unless you put the egg in a condom before it goes up his butt" I commented. At which point all said 20 women looked at me like I had grown a second head. "Seriously... none of you have explored that with your man?" I ask. Silence. My boss moves swiftly on with her demonstration. I sit there with an open mouth. None of these women, who sell sex toys, and you would imagine have reasonably active and interesting sex lives will admit to doing "that sort of thing". I have already been branded "kinky" because of the episode in the last meeting when the first word I thought of linked to sexy was "boots". I despair.
Oh MY!! I realize that "anal" is a very taboo subject, but one would think that these women would at least be AWARE if for no other reason than to increase their sales!!! Corner the market, MW. Teach 'em all a lesson!! Next meeting, show up in Your most "Domme" outfit and really blow their minds!! LOL
Don't despair MW. I would be very surprised if several of the women hadn't at least tried adding a sex toy or two into their sexual play. They have to be aware of the prostrate gland - and the potential for pleasure - how could they not? I think they are just being snooty. But on the chance that they truly are unaware, I would say their potential to sell much of anything is seriously in jeopardy. My guess is that a kinky mind would do far, far better in sex toy sales than a closed mind.
It really struck me as super-odd that these women were oblivious! I know you say snooty, but the general type of woman who works for this company is ummmm.... a bit rough round the edges! I would have thought they would be more into the kinky stuff! Apparently not! I wonder how they sell the anal stuff, maybe they just don't! Apparently when I sell the vibrators (according to the women at the parties) I sell them like "kitchen utensils". They say that I am very QVC about it, and never make them feel seedy or dirty! Maybe it's because I class the type that we sell to be soooooo low down on the kinky scale, they might as well be kitchen utensils to me! :haha4: Oh well, sad muppets!
Oh no! Sylvanna... I deleted what I thought was a double-post... and it wasn't!!!! That'll teach me to tidy up!
what amazes me is how they can sell products that they don't understand! would you deal with a salesperson who is unfamiliar with their product line?
Mistress Watchful, It is always amazing when one enters into 'The Inner Circle' and discovers that that those in power know less than you do! Congatulations on your new sales opportunity! I love when I can ask the lady in the sex toy store what is a good choice and she knows from experience. Respectfully, Cindy
*sigh* People who think its ok to sell sex toys, but not okay to discuss aspects of sexual behaviour. It's incredible this world. Broaden their minds, please I can't believe that linking sexy to boots would get you a kink award, MW. BOOTS ARE SEXY, some of them are damn sexy. I was pointing this out to my wife just a night or two ago, mentioning that for me, some boots are so sexy that they don't need to have a person wearing them to make them something I would consider pornographic (or 'photographically erotic').
Bless their little cottons! And yes, boots ARE sexy, of course they are... surely everyone thinks boots are sexy... but KINKY?! What the heck would they think if they knew what I REALLY got up to!? I had previously thought about mentioning the idea of introducing a cheap male chastity device to the range, to introduce people to the concept through a "play" item. I think they would ban me for perversion or something! At least some of my customer's are a bit more on my level... and then there are those that aren't, but I can deal with them... but you're right - if you're selling something KNOW THE DAMN PRODUCT!
Mistress has the occasional sex-toy party here at home; maybe once every 9 months or so. i'm typically banished in bondage in the basement dungeon and get to hear the giggles and laughs, but no conversations. the seller goes through each product and Mistress makes the occasional comment, always talking about the benefits to the Female. it's fun for them all, considering this society is so purient...
Chastity is a big seller here MW the low end chastity devices are big sellers in the U.S..Not by mail but at batchlorette parties.Or hen parties as I think you call them.Its a new in a fun way on how to keep your man.Most probably end up in the noght stand but at least you make the sale.
