Friendly, helpful associates. Place is clean and easy to browse. They have everything from gag gifts to more personal items. I chose to visit this place, of all the other adult stores in Castro, because of the name. I wasn’t disappointed

There are several adult shops around the Castro. If you have the time to price shop you will save money as different things are cheaper at different stores. This one is clean, with a nice staff and a good layout. More male body oriented then Good Vibes

I think the name alone is pretty funny. I don’t think my mom knows I am here, but I don’t give she gives a flying crap either. I came to this store because I like the entertaining cards and funny lingos. I bought some lube, and I do find it pricey. I feel like you can easily go to Walgreens or CVS to find something cheaper for the same product/​brand. I also had a chance to buy a cock ring that vibrates. Too bad it is not rechargeable.

Love this store, great customer service but they didn’t carry a very specific Brazilian lube that we previously had imported for us by a friend of ours in the Mission.
Anyway, they still have a great selection, and this shop has lots of provisions that we use on a daily basis. If you’re really into getting a sexual awakening, this is the place to equip yourself for an erotic adventure that you won’t forget. Lots of tools here to keep things interesting!

Bryan recommended a really good vibrator that I will surely come back for. He was free of any judgement and had a really positive vibe that made me feel so comfortable in the store. I will be back and love the staff especially Tommy and Bryan! Such great staff!

This place is awesome. The guys working in there (Tommy and Brian) where so much fun and were super knowledgable about the products and took the time to make sure our needs were met. 10⁄10 would recommend.

Shane. I agree with you. I put in an application three weeks ago. I am TOTALLY qualified for the job. Yet 3 weeks later, the help wanted sign is still in the window and I’ve never been called, even for a «obligatory» interview. I’m very disappointed as 1) the young guy never gave the application to the owner, or 2) it was my age the owner didn’t like. Very bad HR. And they are lucky that ageism is hard to prove in court. Every applicant should at least get a email or interview just so that they can cross thein t’s and dot their I’s. I’m very disappointed in their lack of common courtesy. Im sorry for the money I’ve spent there. Really bad community relations,

WOW = if my mother knew how much I spent at this store — $ 1,000 she would clutch her pearls…
I GO here for all my gag/​bachlorette gifts — come here forget all the other sex stores.
Lube: 100’s to choose from. not your typical straight place where you only have 3 to choose from (astro, ky, & baby oil)
Hours of operations: love it! as i can go here in middle of the night to buy lube, if im lucky that night w/​the boo — giggles
Staff: very informative of their products and samples are shown if you need a demonstration — meow!

I never been into a environment where the managment makes it hostile for its employees to work. Shits over priced horrible place to be in I feel so sorry for the employees to have to deal with the assholes for managment. Let’s not encourage this behavior don’t shop there. This is retail it’s supposed to be fun, exciting, helpful to go shopping.

I hate this place. They are mean to their employees and the poeple working there seem miserable when helping you. The owner is a perv who likes to hire young guys, then disregard them after a few months to get some new meat in the store. It’s a gross establishment. Rock Hard is better, but I don’t want to give them any of my money. I’d rather go to Chaps down the street. They are friendly, and not in a perv way. I’d like Phantom better than this store, even though Phantoms employees are worthless…

WHERE DID KENNETH GO?!
Okay, I came in here with my best friend just to kill some time. Not even to shop. And this guy came up to is, excellent customer service and made us feel so comfortable! He helped us choose things we wouldn’t think of even buying. (but we did and the products are great!) He recommended many different toys to us and different knick knacks we can use ;) this store has a VARIETY of EVERYTHING!!! It’s right next to badlands too (which is great!) I’d give this store a 5 star rating if Kenneth still worked here. The workers here now just make it awkward. :/

Friends and I stopped in here because it was her birthday and we thought there would be some cool gifts to get her. Stuff here is definitely picture-​worthy, but there aren’t any pictures allowed. I feel bad because if you’re a store that is still open past 11:00PM you have to deal with non-​sober people (like us), but you don’t have to be so rude about it. We weren’t being rowdy and were just taking pictures, but a guy that worked there rudely and sternly said no pictures to my friend in such a serious way that we thought he was kidding. He said, «i’m serious, no pictures. You’re going to have to delete that one as well as the other ones» and just walked away in a sour way. Yes your store is cool, but customer service was rude so we ended up not getting anything. At least put up a sign that says no pictures!
GOOD:
–Good gag gifts
–Open store with a wide selection
BAD:
–Rude customer service

I’ve been in this place a few times and saw the plesant Spanish speaking girl whom the previous reviewer claimed was so nice. Today I saw the manager, the guy with the dyed black hair, horrible teeth, etc berating her for where she placed some merch on the shelves. Ive seen this guy be really nasty to his employees and the turnover is high. Just a heads up if you are ever looking for work. THis is probably not the place. He looks like a real creep and Im uncomfortable shopping there whenever he’s around.

Does my mother know that I went to a very slightly gay-​boy focused sex shop? I’m not sure she would care. While it’s a great place to pick up the Eros-​M silk lube that I love (zomgbestlubeever), and a fine place to buy an enormous anal toy (really, like the size of my thigh), it’s really not that shocking. It sells a usual assortment of sex toys, a really great selection of lubes, various random things like an ice mold of a woman’s torso where your drink comes through the nipples, and, well, the aforementioned anal toys in every size, mostly large. Though the Master + Trainee sets would have a spot in any good Dom’s collection.
The whole place is super clean, brightly lit, and very pleasant. It’s a bright boutique, not a seedy place, and the woman who was working there when I dropped by was great. It’s fine, just not special. Other than lubes. If you’re feeling a bit dry, drop by.

Stopped by here because my friend needed some stuff.
My boyfriend and I were walking around the store and they had TONS of stuff to choose for our friend. Nice section of party favors.
The workers were really nice, friendly and had humor. They were helpful when we were looking for things for ourselves.

I liked it better when they had cute, kitschy stuff. I’d go and spend an hour looking at the fun things, leaving with cards and novelties.
Not sure why the Castro needed another place to buy butt plugs. But here it is.

Nice little sex shop in the Castro. They are friendly to be help open boxes to see what the actual item looks like unlike other stores. They just don’t carry some of the cheaper priced stuff.
Nothing is cheap.

I came here looking for penis candies…
Not only did they have a variety of penis candies, but they had awesome customer service! The nice gentleman helped me with my horrible indecisiveness and talked through which ones to get. He even gave me some great tips on how to improve the desert I was using them for.
I will make sure to come back here for all of my party supplies :)
