Where do you like buying your sex toys?
I assumed that everyone bought online but there are still plenty adult book stores around.
Last week we were in need of a new dildo and I went to an abs to look and get something. I had forgotten the thrill of walking into an abs in person and browsing the selections. Then the in person checkout is another thrill.
It’s also pretty hot when you see a woman or a couple shopping together.

So do you buy in person or online?
 
We have a place called adult fantasy that we’ve been it’s a big store. Then there’s a darker fetish boutique called The Apple that we go to.
 
There is an adult toy shop in my neighborhood. It is a thrill to go in and browse, ask the staff for advice .
 
My first few were online purchases, just ordering the first one was exciting, the second was equally thrilling. The thought of a 2 day delivery had a surprising effect. TBH after receiving both I was a bit disappointed with the second one. Two months later and into college life my roommate Kendal got into talking about purchasing toys and she said she preferred hands on before buying having been unhappy with her first online order. Our second weekend we were out shopping clothes at an outlet mall when she spotted and ABS across the road and said we should check it out. Didn't take much convincing for me to agree with her description of the fun she had back in LA on her few trips into one.

Clothes shopping was forgotten and in a few minutes I was in awe of what the store had on display, took a while to realize she and I were sort of on display too as we wandered the aisles gawking at and fondling everything we saw. The whole experience was amazing, from the help of the sort of Goth salesgirl Sandy to the suggestions from a few customers prompted us to make a few purchases. Needless to say that ABS and a few others we found became semi regular parts of shopping trips.

Online shopping still is fun and cheaper but not till after things have been in hand from physical research.
 
My wife used to buy stuff at a place near where she grew up.

There are a couple of good fetish places in a town thats nearby.

A small chain called Te Pleasure Chest in NYC. Really helpful staff.

Online we like Lovehoney.
 
i would love to know about where to purchase and also some holidays and conferences coming up. WOuld like to have some dress suggestions :)
 
We used to buy online but these days only buy our essentials online.

We have found that the toys are getting so expensive these days that we prefer to look and hold them before we buy. I also tend to research the reviews a lot before we go and buy as he have spent far too much on toys that didn't do too much for us.

We do have a very large collection but in reality probably use about 10% of them regularly.
 
The thrill of walking into an adult bookstore is truly unique. Being able to browse through various toys, interact with staff, and even see couples shopping together creates such a fun and intimate atmosphere. While online shopping is convenient, the experience of picking out something in-store often brings more excitement. Each method has its charm, but that in-person vibe is definitely hard to beat!.Right now I like to buy it online.

I have found that when the stores we go to have a female shop assistant they give us the best advice as in most cases they are completely unembarrassed and will often tell us how they have used them themselves and therefore you get much better reviews.

The ones we avoid is where they have younger men running the store as they tend not to take older couples seriously and the service can be poor.
 
I was just considering a collar for a Halloween costume. Do I go to the local sex shop, or the pet store?
 
Two places here at Myrtle Beach. Adam and Eve and Badd Kitty which both have websites as well.
We vacation in yearly and I think back to hopes have seeing you in a mall and not knowing it but staring at you and my wife teasing me about it all day long. Lol

I like going to a store just fun. Wish could find old school one with gh. But closest store over hour away I'll use amazon
 
Adam and eve
Bad dragon... This one was a while ago, idk how they are these days

I don't go to stores unless I'm in another city and feeling naughty. Even then its not to buy, just to feed on other's gazes and reaction when I enter the store in my business attire
 
Decades ago, pre-internet, the vast majority of our sex toys came from either local "adult bookstores" (sex shops) or "mail order" from real print catalogs like Adam and Eve, The Pleasure Chest, Lover's Lane and others.

These days, it's way too easy and the choices of vendors and products are plentiful.
Just a partial list of my sex catalog book marks.

The Kink Store
665 Leather
Mr. S Leather
