A buttplug is really designed to stretch your (or that certain someone else's) back door for easier/more comfortable anal play. You lube up and s-l-o-w-l-y insert the device, as you relax it'll go in easier. Once its in and you're comfy you can remove the plug and get to anal sex or start using toys.

You don't 'screw' somebody with a plug. There are different toys for that. Some people just leave the plug in for masturbation/oral sex, and in that case a vibrating buttplug may come in handy.

I personally like TANTUS brand plugs and anal toys.. they are silicon which is firmer than the jelly rubber used in many toys but not as solid as plastic/glass. Silicon can be boiled in water or run through the dishwasher to kill germs, but if the toys are for you alone, just soap & water will be fine. (The wife and I personally own three sizes of the 'Silk' dildo, a 'Sire', and we'll probably pick-up a 'Buck' and a 'Cisco' sometime soon).

Get anal beads that are made from solid silicon or plastic... anything with rope inbetween the balls is a bad idea because they are impossible to clean.

Bondage Gear: If you're stocking a store its easiest to carry SPORTSHEETS nylon & velcro gear... surprisingly sturdy, inexpensive, and not very threatening. If you want to stock more traditional bondage gear, I've been very happy with RED'S BLACK LEATHER (a division of DOC JOHNSON). High quality leather, good prices, stuff lasts forever (I'm very partial to my leather-covered wooden paddle that has 'SPANK' spelled-out in chrome studs).

Don't sell bondage furniture... It takes up too much store room, sells very poorly, and most people will just order from someone online direct who can undersell you by $100.

Scented candles are always a good seller at toy stores, as are books and party games

Stock a wide variety of condoms, dental dams, and just about every brand of lube you can find (most brand-name lubes work very well, but customers are typically very brand loyal).

Video's: Porn is bigger business in America than Hollywood (Its true!), and with an estimated 9000 new titles released every year on DVD and Blu*Ray you can't stock everything. Carry big-names like Digital Playground, Evil Angel, Hustler, Adam & Eve and then stock the rest based on customer demand. I'm also partial to instructional DVDs (as anyone who's read my posts before will tell you), and would carry at least Nina Hartley's titles, OSK Productions are better (IMHO) but aren't as well-known.
