im looking for leather pants, size 40, and a whip and mask. also a french maid's costume. have you seen anything like that in there?

EvilGentleman: 18th Jul 2006 - 01:17 GMT

Yup. All there.

What kind of mask you want, and should those leather pants be open-cheeked or full coverage? And should the French maid's costume be in size 40 as well, or is it for someone special?

Almost forgot to ask, do you want to pay extra for the codpiece attachment?

The store's actual website is the goo for this article.

This page has received 8436 hits so far, yet the only visitor comment was the joke from jack. I think most of the other visitors must have found this page while doing a search for sex. That makes me wonder, does anyone seriously think this website has porn on it? Why waste time looking for that here, when it is so easy to find via any unfiltered search engine? Oh well, human behaviour is so hard to understand. Damn humans...

hi,
i was googling sexe-cite and found your site. i was just wondering what exactly is the purpose of these documentions of yours. i think it's really great and all, i'm just a little confused. are you a private shopper for people who are too embarassed to walk into the store? do you report back to the people with the current merchandise and sales? the store really isn't that scary inside, really! i should know, i work there! (actually, the photo you took is from last may....i remember cause that's when i started that job....what a terrible display it was eh?)

Nah, I'm just a guy who likes to take lots of pictures and post them on the internet, sharing the world I see with others, using my preference for a comprehensive photojournalistic presentation style. I also used to be a regular at the Diana Bar next door (Although I seldom drink alcohol). We've probably seen each other a few times, maybe even spoken. I have had many cigarettes in the doorway of Sexe Cite, but only after you close at midnight.

I have kind of fallen into the position where I feel it is up to myself and a few others to bring interesting and non-standard perspectives of Montreal to the world at large. For some reason, people who are not from Montreal seem extremely interested in the sex-related businesses in the city, so I took a few series of shots of different places around the city such as sex shops, strip bars, etc.

I did not take any pictures inside the store for two reasons, neither having to do with anything being scary. The first reason is simple: most retail businesses do not under any circumstances allow photography inside their stores. The second reason is due to the fact that this website is geared towards the general population at large, and while I feel I can push the boundaries here a bit past what is allowed on broadcast television, I doubt the editors would appreciate me posting pictures of the best porn DVDs from your $19.95 shelves, or the giant dildos along your left wall.

You mention the concept of people shopping for others who are afrid to enter the store. What an interesting concept, sounds like it may have potential, but I would imagine most of the shy ones would be tourists, as most Montrealers I know are pretty blasé about such things, and would consider a trip to the sex shop to be comparable to a trip to the shoe store. Actually, my wife and I have shopped at your store a few times, and I have no problem mentioning that.

And as far as the dates of the photos go, they were taken on July 15th last year, before the display was changed for the fall. I was thinking of taking pictures of your storefront each season, and then after a year, posting an article about the seasons of Sex Cite. But I missed your Halloween display, dammit! And I really wanted shots of the way it was the first few days, with the splattered blood on the windows, and the patient with the head wound lying on the floor, and the sexy nurse standing above. That was a classic, man! But maybe it would have generated negative press, so maybe it was all for the best.

And as far as the display pictured above goes, I still have no clue what the hoses were all about. As much as I know about sex, there are still some areas I am thankful to not understand.
