And: falling in love on Zoom.
For some, perusing the aisles of a sex shop can be awkward, and that feeling may be exacerbated by the help of a store associate. Not for Diana de Vegh. In this week’s Modern Love essay, she writes about the attention she wished she were paid on a visit to a New York City sex store.
Why, she wondered, as an 83-year-old visually impaired woman, was it so hard for her to get some assistance while browsing for toys? Despite not being attended to like the other shoppers, Ms. de Vegh happily sashayed through each aisle (with a cane), filling her basket with intriguing items for solitary enjoyment.
