very true. I agree, you'll know what you want that way and what to get lol

yeah, I would say it wouldn't be worth the gas money in a sense because, you may get there and find nothing of interest. Yay for online shopping!!!

true to that!

yes it is!! amen to EF lol

lol, I've been in awkward moments like that actually, its weird. I can never ever walk out of a store without getting the odd glance over by someone else on the parking lot, haha, overwhelming much? *stranger glances over* *thought process "oh yeah!, i know what your bringing home to the table! M-E-O-W BABY!" *your thought process "why do they keep looking over here so much, when are they gonna get the hell in their car?....creep" (lmfao)

hmm, interesting. There was a store i went into before that only had hard plastic dildos and lingeres with a few fuzzy cuffs and lubes, I was disappointed with them and their price range. Ironically enough though it was by a church shop :p made me giggle.

most are unfortinately, my biggest pet peeve is the battery options. Although one store called "AREN'T WE NAUGHTY" sells their own brand which can last almost two month tops if you were using a toy multiple times in a week (3-5) i was shocked! and they have different kinds of them in a pink cover with their logo.

I would guess anything like Adult personelles or like, adult stores? i may not even be close but its a shot lol. and yeah, so far i've been pretty content here too lol

The stores here mostly stock ... more
very true.

brutal, yeah I know a few of those low-grade buildings in the city i used to live haha. Prices were ridiculous and no real options either.

EF is probably where its at though, you've made a pretty good choice

I find it so odd how they would put sex stores in really not high standard areas, I mean really, you want to attract people to your store, find a better Venue, seriously hah, People would be scared to get an infection by just walking in :p

I think there are two in my state (Wyo). The only one I'm sure of though is located in a town with a mostly Mormon population. Fun fact maybe?

Yup, several nearby. Benefits of living in the capital of homosexual fornication.

I have a few within driving distance. I have only shopped at one so far, and the have such a limited select. They see to be far more expensive than buying online.

Another Fun Fact about church and sex: the Bible Belt has more sex shop advertising than the rest of the US put together.

I did nearly wet myself while driving through Georgia and saw a double billboard - sex shop ad on one, and sausage factory on the other.

I have a few nearby, but man, are they expensive. Generally 50% more for everything than EF, and not nearly the selection, especially on better quality toys. I shopped there for years before finding EF, though, but since... I may go in to get a visual on something, and if I like it, just go home and order it. I'm all for supporting local businesses, but I'm not a fan of gouging! Also, I've always had a better shopping experience, and better customer service (BY FAR) with EF!

We only have one decent sex shop in our area.

There's one within walking distance that I sometimes visit, but it's more video-oriented, it isn't woman-oriented, and the toy quality is so-so. There are two great adult stores within driving distance -- It's My Pleasure and She-Bop. They're both amazing stores.

I have a sex store in my area, but it's about 20 miles away and it's really not that great. They have a few high-end toys and a bunch of over-priced novelty items. Lots of porn, lots of lingerie and random glass pipes and incense. It's a strange store, I definitely prefer my online anonymity.

There are two in the area. One I don't care to go to, and the other focuses on safe materials and such but their selection is pretty small.
