Americans are such prudes.

After our short visit to the British museum  we walked through Soho. Soho is also the center of gay life here in London as best I can tell. Specifically Old Compton road. From the burlesque shows to peep shows, gay bars (one of which is actually titled G-A-Y) to sex shops; it was abuzz with life and filled with more people than we had seen since the circle lines and district lines closed down tube service for two days. Being in the neighborhood I decided to take Tim to his first European sex shop. I have been to many during my previous travels ( you wouldn't believe the things they sell in German sex shops) and so it didn't even phase me, but Tim looked like he was ready to run out the door! The doors to the shop were wide open and they had large windows displaying their goods to the whole street. It was definitely something he wasn't used to, but it was clean and the staff were all super friendly and seemed as if it was second nature that they worked at a shop where they sell dildos and leather bondage gear. Americans are so prude when it comes to things of a sexual nature in comparison to the culture here. We don't even have tv shows where you can get women naked. Lol.
