so as Warehouse Operation (1st class) Manager I open the door to a warehouse everyday. This door is at the end of a hallway. This hallway is the main thoroughfare of the arcade.
- recently I've been having conversations with civilians and I'll use the term "arcade" along with "cruising with his dick out" and people looked puzzled. They explain how they were confused as to why a man would have his penis out in a video game arcade. "No," I explain, "there are no video games, the arcade is a place you feed dollars into a TV screen and watch pornography in a little cubicle for about $1 for 2 minutes..." so yea...
This door is in a hallway breaking away from the arcade. Now, there aren't like booths all the way up to my office door, there's a bit of an empty space barrier but like, I walk in and out of the arcade when I go in and out of the office. Oh yea its fucked up as all hell but I'm paid and benefited up so screw you. I don't see as much weird shit as you'd think, or I'm totally jaded.
So I'm totally jaded to men walking in and out of cubicles. I see it all day, and they scurry...like cockroaches; back into the nearest booth like someone stopped the music on some horrid game of musical chairs. Go to the bathroom, scurry. Pick up a UPS shipment, scamper.
This is good for one thing, taking out frustrations!!! Have a lame phone call with a boss or a vendor, get into an argument with your girlfriend, your god damn creditors will not stop calling you and soforth and soforth. The rules of the arcade are, no walking around between booths, no talking to other people, no eye contact, no touching. Its a lot like prison. and If i'm having a bad Day I can yell at people.
I can fucking humiliate those perverted gross pieces of shit sometimes.
"Hey sweatpants, get the fuck out.....
"pick that up, no mother fucker don't look at me pick that up you piece of shit and get out"
"are you fucking serious Judd?, you know you can do better than this guy, get the fuck out"
"WATCH YOUR TRANNY PORN AT HOME FROM NOW ON YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!"
what are they going to do? complain write a letter to the editor? complain to the manager? I'm fucking the manager. I'm also the person all customer complaints are referred to anyway. I refer you to my morning bowel movement sir.
SURE
what's the worst thing you pass along the way to work? a smelly dumpster? a unrine-y alleyway? a dangerous parking lot? 50 minutes of traffic to go 10 miles?
well I have a little bit of everything there I guess, no way you guys have tranny porn in traffic. but one of the cool things about working in this industry has always been the environment perks.
such as: totally stocked break room refrigerators, unfettered internet access, sega dreamcast, satellite television, ping pong tables, lower State Street in Santa Barbara. My current favorite is once a day, at any time of the day, I walk 10 minutes down to the end of a pier and spit into the ocean.

Hi. An explanation is in order; I am a 26 year old male from Southern California and I have spent the last 8 years of my life working in the adult industry. Don't get excited, it's really not excitable. WAY behind the camera. Very little experience with the actual production of pornography. I've been working the customer service sector of the adult industry, everything from website support to face to face novelty retail. My job is uncomfortable conversations: the man who looses streaming video with his pants at his ankles, the 80year old who wants only a last erection, herding crack heads, closet bisexual fetishes, fan mail written to male porn stars etc etc etc, pretty much the worst things possible.
The pay is decent, health coverage, no uniform, and at this point in my career I pretty much control of my schedule and workload as the "Operations Manager" (whatever the fuck that means) of a chain of novelty, video, and arcade stores in California, Arizona, and Oregon. I really love my job. Its swaaan-key. I directly operate a warehouse but I kinda do everything possible in the field of retail management. My dad ran drugstores at this age, I run porn stores; its a neat convergence.
Recently I've come to see my job as an 8 year anthropological study of pornography. I deal with the people who use the adult chat site, buy the squirt movies by the armful. I bust your local heroes and villains in the seedy adult arcade, I use graphic hand gestures to show you the best way to make your girlfriend squirt; and also the best hypoallergenic lubricant to use so that irritation doesn't come back. And I've noticed that, respectively, your porn customers are all the same what ever you niche or question. There is always a uniform answer i have lined up for you...
So one of the things i wish to do with this blog is update examples of porno anthropology. I'm sure this field exist...but i need to use this to expell some of these dreadful funny akward and sometimes touching stories i've been grossing out my friends with for the past almost decade.
sorry. enjoy.
