When I just turned 18 I was too nervous to go into a real store, especially the only one I knew of was right on a popular street, and I was terrified a family member would recognize my car. Out of all the many online sites, I love Eden Fantasy because not only do they have a wide selection, but the site overall is so high quality. Between great visual design, the detailed specs for toys, and the community at EF, it is just a really good experience that screams quality.

I prefer to shop for toys online, not because im embarrassed its just easier. The reviews area always very helpful when choosing toys.

There are several sex shops around me. I chose to shop Eden because this place has everything and it's cheaper than any shop around here! Not to mention all the added bonuses to the site!

Eden offers a much better shopping experience. It's well informed, helpful, and it's an entire community that is at the ready for any opinions, descriptions, fits oh heck anything you'll want to know. I do have one sex shop in the local area but meh it's better here at Eden.

Only shop online. Have never went to a sex shop.

We have plenty of sex shops within a half hour perimeter. There's even a kind of fancy one about half an hours drive away. But ever since finding EF I haven't gone to any of them.

There are sex shops in town but they hold very few selection in options and a lot of what they have isn't very quality stuff and the quuality stuff they do have is sold almost double the price I can get it at on EF!

sex shops tend to carry more of the cheap items. They seem to care more about the porns they have in stock then quality sex toys.

When I go into sex shops, I feel like someone is lurking over my shoulder. Being that as part of my college days i was an assistant manager of one, I flip the script and start telling them about their products!!! To avoid the embarrassment that I provide, I think it is wonderful to be able to shop online!

I shop on EF because it's far better than every shop or site that I've ever seen or been too. EF has a huge range and fantastic prices but what makes the site is the people.

My local toy shop sucks. It's in the middle of the bad part of town, and is skeezy as hell. There's booths in the back for guys to watch porn and jack off, and the toys suck. Lots of cheap jelly dongs, ew!

I shop here because I am loyal and have had good experiences with buying here.

in the UK, we have a nice franchisee called Ann Summers (I think Eden sell their rampant rabbit here - but not sure if it's the same Ann Summers) Anyway, the stores are like any other, and found in most malls and high streets. It's not embarrassing to walk into one because of this. They sell lovely underwear, too, just like EF. Home parties are a common thing with this company, too.

But I've noticed, here in the states, sex shops look like warehouses and are off the side of freeways -- not too alluring.
So I was thrilled when I bumped into EF, by accident, and have spent heaps of money here in the short time I've been a member (making up for lost time LOL)

I love the reviews, and they have swayed me into trying somethings I wouldn't have thought of, and warned me when not to spend money. I LOVE IT! Happy to share my reviews in return, because of how helpful they've been for me. I can only hope they are just as helpful for others, and they've been for me.

Now I've found EF, expect to have me around for a while

I live in a very liberal area. There are sex shops on every corner. I buy toys there. I buy toys here. I like the seeing before you buy aspect of retail stores but the limitation is selection. Shopping at EF means I can get what I want, in the medium and color and texture and length etc that I want and not just what they have on the shelves.

There was one nice shop up near my college in RI, but it was a little pricey and out of my way. EF is where I was introduced to sex toys, and it's v. educational and friendly so I've stuck by the site.

There are a few shops within 20 minutes to a half hour from where I am now, but I generally feel like I need to bathe/otherwise sterilize myself if I go anywhere near them. I guess as someone mentioned earlier, those shops are more about novelty and image rather than comfort and quality.

There are a couple sex shops near me. I go to them to "test" out the staff to see if they know their stuff (Like the Community here). I've been surprised once, the rest seem to be about as knowledgeable as anyone you'd meet on the street. I've also checked out B&M stores to see the actual products we sell on Eden, just because I'm a tactile person like that.

There are two sex shops within 20 minutes of me. When I go in them, everything is overpriced and the people stare at you the whole time trying to figure out what you're buying. I don't have a problem going in them, its just not the best experience. I love shopping at EF, especially being able to read the reviews.

There are many shops in my city. However, as others have said, I shop EF because I prefer it. The selection beats any shop here, I can read reviews from lots of different people, sometimes see video of a toy in action, and participate on the forums. I just like EF a lot better!

I'm a chic that has no problem walking into a sleazy sex shop or one of the more upscale ones in my area. I can even speak up and let them know what I'm looking for.

I choose to do most of my shopping on EF because I enjoy internet shopping. I love that this is a community and not just a store. I enjoy doing reviews. Love discounts and free stuff. It also has a much larger selection and better quality then the porn shops.

Is that enough reasons?

EF is also a lot cheaper than Smitten Kitten (the only sex shop near by)

I shop at both, but Eden's prices are 10 times better.

I shop here at EF because it is a community. The local sex shop is not a community. The man behind the counter watches you as you walk around, ask if they can help you when you know you don't want to be helped. If you're new it can be nerve racking, if you're a veteran it can be annoying. Encountering people you know can be awkward, you don't think to help them. Once I saw a couple debating whether to get a set of handcuffs or not; which one to choose. I really wanted to speak up and help them along with what seemed like a new experience, but I thought it would be really awkward. I know that I can come here and be totally anon or out and open if I choose.

I shop at EF because there are no places where I live. Plus, its a little more fun and I get to see all the types of toys there are. I'd love it if there was a shop near me though. I'd try to work there if I could.

I have bought from two different stores where I live. One was more lingerie, so toy selection was very limited. The other we went into one time, and they had a better selection, but it was a lot of the cheaper stuff. I would rather get the high quality stuff, and Eden has a lot of it. Of course, this community is great, and that is another reason to buy from here.

The variety, the atmosphere here. And the discounts.
