Places to buy sex toys:

the companies founder, sells sex to the rich, but does a lot more to
help the poor.
Babeland
Formerly Toys in Babeland, now Babeland, I was a sex educator here for
five glorious years. This company knows its stuff when it comes to sex,
and it's a great place to go for sex toy advice (and purchases). If
you're ever in NY, Seattle or LA you should stop in and check them out.
Early
2 Bed
This cool Chicago joint, not only boasts workshops, salons and a book
club,
but it's focus is on being a women-oriented, boy friendly type of shop.
Online you can still feel this vibe, and read their blog, and their
fair
prices makes this a definite place to shop for sex toys.
Eden Fantasys
A site to buy sex toys, but what I like most is their nice list of the
different sex toy materials. I couldn't find a mention of the fact that
there are phthalates in jelly rubber, still I think they're a good
resource
to know about.
Eros Boutique
For some sweet lingerie and other kinkier items, get thee to Eros Boutique
(based out of Boston, MA). Not only do they have a large selection of
bondage gear and fetish toys, they also have a whole host of wearable
hotness and vibrating love. Even Madonna fell in love with their equestrian
fetish gear. Love is just a click away.
Freddy
and Eddy
Ian and Alicia are the real deal, both personally and professionally.
One of my favorite married couples (they've been together over 18 years) they
started their online (and terrestrial Venice, CA store) to help couples
find ways to restore and resexify their long-term relationships. All their
toys are tested, and reviewed, and not only is the site Quality (yes, with a
capital Q) but so are they. Plus, they are the only store I know that
offers a full return policy, satisfaction guaranteed. Plus they have great
prices, and if you can make it to their LA store, Freddy/Ian says they have
great coffee.
Good Vibrations
The first women owned and operated sex shop, Good Vibes prides itself
on its sex positive ways. Originally a west coast store, they've
recently opened a branch in Boston. I really like the Good Vibes line
of toys and books.
Hysteria
This Denver based sex shop is not only one of a kind in Colorado, it's
also
run by a really cool husband and wife team. Great toys, good prices and
good
souls (isn't that most important), check out Hysteria Sex Shop next
time
you're looking for a quality sex toy.
Lelo
Really elegant, beautiful sex toys, and they're rechargeable. If you've
got the money to spend, these are some of the nicest toys I've ever
played with.
Pure Pleasure
A sweet spot in Santa Cruz. This smallish mother/daughter shop has a number
of quality products and great, hard-to-find lubes, plus it's always got
plenty of workshops going on. Whether you're just stopping by SC, or if
you're online and you want to support a family-run business, check these
fabulous ladies out.
Natural
Contours
A beautiful, classy line of hard plastic sex toys. This is the Candida
Royalle line of sex toys.
The
Smitten Kitten
This uber-progressive Minneapolis based sex shop is the first and only
sex
toy retailer to exclusively sell non-toxic toys. They are also the only
retailer who founded and operates an adult consumer advocacy and
industry
education organization- The Coalition Against Toxic Toys. And they're
big
into outreach too.
