Some people spend the weeks leading up to Valentine's Day shopping for chocolates, jewelry, and flowers. Others prefer more recreational gifts. If you fall into the latter category, but don't know where to start, we've mapped the city's most reliable sex shops in geographical clusters. Skeeviness, of course, is a relative concept, so some of you may prefer to shop these spots online. If that's the case, just remember that most of the websites are incredibly NSFW.

Good Vibrations

Felicity's Fetiche

A shop specifically geared toward the ladies, Felicity's mainly offers lingerie and costumes, but it also carries dance poles and foot fetish items. There's also a limited bondage selection.

The Magazine

Mr. S Leather & Mr. S Locker Room

Copy Link
Mr. S will satisfy serious BDSM enthusiasts and passersby alike (though be prepared to be greeted by a staffer wearing the store's merch). Mostly caters to gay men, but all are welcome.

Wicked Grounds

For every time you thought, "Wouldn't it be great it I could drink a hot beverage and look at sexy art. The in-case boutique stocks sex toys, adding an entirely new dimension to your midday coffee run.

Good Vibrations

Clean, friendly, and helpful. This local chain is all about sex-positive shopping.

Rock Hard

Copy Link
The store has a huge supply of gay-male oriented toys, the sales clerks are friendly, and they also carry sunglasses and other accessories you can focus on if your boss happens to find you there.
The Castro has no shortage of sex shops, but Chaps (with its Folsom-themed awning) will set you up with leather, too. You know… if that's your thing.

Does Your Mother Know

Of all the Castro sex toy suppliers, this one has the best name. DYMK also carries cards and party favors, including penis-shaped candles, pasta and cake molds.
