Does anyone actually come into the shop "just to browse"? It seems to me that one would only go to a porn shop with a specific purchase in mind. The concept of an "porno impulse buy" seems a bit odd, but I wonder how common something like that is.

there are some things that aren't available via an internet store such as magazines, books, newspapers, and discounted items. Also some of the outfits in some stores in NYC you can try them on, can't do that in an internet store.
