Out Loud, the GLBT-friendly store on Church Street, has a section in the back for sex toys and other adult-themed products. While the store had an overall comfortable and inviting atmosphere, the sex section still seemed to be banished to the back corner, where you could be left alone to fulfill your sexual fancies.
Does this mean I prefer the chain to the local retailer? When it comes to sex shops, I absolutely do. It is where I felt the safest, cleanest, and most comfortable. Hustler Hollywood has a stringent no-return policy, ensuring the cleanliness of the product, as do all the other shops I visited, with the exception of The Lion's Den, which has a 10-day exchange policy on toys if you are not satisfied or the product is broken. In terms of comfort, both in atmosphere and location, Hustler Hollywood is unparalleled.
The next time you feel the need to get in touch with your sexuality, consider a short drive down the road to Hustler Hollywood. If you feel awkward or shy, you can go with some friends, have a few laughs, and buy a t-shirt, or you can leave with the latest and greatest vibrator and the raunchiest video you can find. Hustler Hollywood offers the psychological escape of visiting what is often seen as debauched. For a place that makes sex so educational, comfortable, and fun, it is hard to deny that this chain is perhaps the most progressive of them all.
*The buzz on sex toys*
Bryan says: Take batteries out of toys when not using them. The batteries can cause corrosion and the toy will die.
Don't go to sex shops with sticky floors or return policies
Buy high-quality toys. Don't know which ones are "high quality"? Don't be afraid to ask for help!
Certain plastics can be unsanitary for repeated use. Make sure that your toy is impermeable to bacteria and easy to clean before you purchase it.
