One of the Business' Favorite Reviews What's This?
Mankind is the clean dirty store you could go to but not your kids!
Of course, all I mean is that they take care that their store's appearance is always in order and clean. Have visited this place several times and anything you might need could be either neatly displayed or demonstrated without any hesitation.
Staff is friendly and always welcomes anyone (I mean anyone). They know their stuff and of course they support local artists that are trying to show some of their art for sale.
I have bought small stuff (never you mind what it is). I rarely give 5 stars but compared to a lot of stores that cater to this crowd, this heavens above them.
Cool shirts or tees for events or just showing off! There are also a variety of bedroom toys for adults that can truly be a romantic and sexy night starter, middle and end!
Mankind is truly for all!
Friends and i bumped into this super fun location while walking around on a friday night. the place is awesome, the service is great. but the bottom line is the top line lube is ten dollars more then F street.
i like my dirty toys but i don't like paying more then you need to.

Totally a fun a store to visit by yourself or with a group of Friends... Mankind Video or MKV for short... is a Fabulous Adult Boutique that caters to all. They have Videos... Both Adult and A pretty Good Selection of Normal Movies too. The Store is very organized and has just about anything you could ever imagine. Lots of Fun Clothing for Guys and Girls Alike... If you have an Underwear fetish like me.... Oops I can't belive I just outed myself... You can have a totall thrill perusing their selections and picking out a bunch that you will just have to have. I do every time I visit. I can't leave without buying a few pairs. The Staff is very helpful, Polite and Happy to see you there. In an age where Businesses are closing daily it's very important to support Local Business in your Favorite Neighborhoods.
Clean, lots to look at and a friendly, warm staff.
Definitely 5 stars.
Normally I won't touch most adult boutiques with a 10-foot pole (heh heh), because they usually scare me away before I ever make it through the front door. They tend to be in sketchy areas and attract questionable folks.
But not Mankind! This shop is tidy, well-organized, and located on a scenic block that straddles (heh heh) the border of Hillcrest and Bankers Hill. This store is totally legit and -- dare I say -- pretty classy! It really cracks (heh heh) open most of the stereotypes that you have about adult shops.
I dropped by last weekend while I was passing by while running errands. Mankind carries just a huge selection of about every kinky article of clothing, accessory, adult DVD, or "toy" that you can think of. In fact, Mankind also carries lots of interesting items that I guarantee you have *never* ever thought of. And if you're into leather, then Mankind just might be a little slice of heaven. Overall, the decor, disco atmosphere, and lively music make it a fun to place to shop...and expand your horizons.
I admit I didn't buy anything here during my visit -- hey, sex toys and designer underwear ain't cheap! -- but I will certainly be back if I need anything to assist with my "bidness".
It doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, bi, trans, or other. Check out Mankind regardless of who or what you do behind closed doors.
I just moved nextdoor to this place...no seriously, I walk out of my front door and the rainbow flag practically hits me in the face.
It really is a great store, both for the gays, the bis, and for us plain ole' breeders out there. Mike and I just had a litte once over, but we plan to go in again very soon to see all the nooks and trannies of this place.
Things I did see and am excited to explore further: sequined jock straps, mesh booty shorts, a "toy" in the shape of Jesus, a "toy" in the shape of Barrack Obama, a "toy" so large it could double as a cane for someone who had a limp, a special swing, a rubber duck that vibrates, "Manhandlers", something marked "High Voltage", leather masks with strategically placed zippers, collars that would look good on your pitbull or your significant other.
Ok, so you catch my drift. The place is clean (like immaculately clean), and they have more than just porn and toys. The staff is friendly and welcoming to every person of every sexual orientation. Gotta appreciate a store that appreciates you and your naughty bits, no matter who you are!
I had heard abourt Mankind thru the "papers." I hadn't really thought
about going until I saw a recent issue of "Rage" a line of gear was being advertised and went to go check it out. The staff is really friendly,
knowledgeable and if your looking.."attractive." Steve and Timothy.
Needless to say, I found what I was looking for; bought it. I will be back.
One night, we were drunk-walking south from Tractor Room and saw a bright storefront and someone getting spanked on the couch with a few onlookers cracking up. Of course we went in! We went upstairs and pretending to sword fight with every kind of dildo possible until we sobered up. Downstairs, they encouraged us to write on their wall in markers they provided. I couldn't tell you what I wrote, not that it is dirty, but I said I was drunk. So I was happy to see a sex shop in Hillcrest for the sake of content and everyone was friendly, and they had tons of XXX [gay] DVDs. If you are into it. I thought everyone downloaded porn now, but don't know, I'm not a pornographer.
I met the owners in full throttle club kid drag Friday for a party that would put Twilo in NYC to shame. Their makeup and outfits were beyond fucked up/fab better than I have ever seen in San Diego. Maybe he does weddings?
