13 reviews for Sex World
Like Jen, Sex World has always been kind of an after bar spot for my friends. It's been a couple years since I've been in, and it seems that it's always changing. I have made a few purchases here, nothing embarrassing though (yes, it's possible). There are definitely creepy guys here, just stay clear and don't make eye contact with them whatever you do. A friend did once and it ended up in the most embarrassing night of my life. The guy followed us around the store and to my apartment and by the end of the night the cops assumed my friend and I were lesbians (NTTAWWT). But that's a fun story for another day.
The clerks here aren't the most friendly people. I'm sure (eventually) dealing with perverts and drunk people gets old. But it's open 24 hours and has just about everything you might ever need for some fun in the bedroom. What more do you need? Head down on your own or grab your partner(s) and head to Sex World. If nothing else you'll probably have a good laugh.
I like the idea of Sex World more than I actually like Sex World. I vote yes for a seedy 24 hour palace to buy sex toys and fun novelties, but this place is disappointing. Most recently, I was sad that the second and third floors were closed. This place is small. They also don't have a very large selection of books, but maybe reading is outside their target market's norm.
I would recommend the Smitten Kitten or online shopping for toys and erotica over Sex World any day. However, if you are on a late night stroll through the Warehouse District, why not stop in and enjoy the naughtiness?
You know... judging this place by the size, they really have a shitty selection of items.
I wish they still had the second and third floors, my favorite thing to do was go watch a dirty movie in one of those little black stalls upstairs...ok that's not true, but those always intrigued me in a way.. I cannot explain it!
Oh well, like others have said, perfect for after the bar, when you are already wasted! ( I bet the workers hate when people come in shitfaced..)
I have to admit, I haven't been here in years. However, I can say, in my wilder days, this was a frequent stop after bar close. It was always on our way back since I had a friend that lived a few blocks away.
Is there way creepy guys there? Hell yeah. Did we regularly see guys jacking off in the little booths upstairs? Yep! Did we feel the need to shower after leaving? Of course. Yet, what the hell is funner than going upstairs and taking pictures of you and your friends riding the mechanical penis? This is particularly funny at 2:30 am after 10 too many drinks. There never seem to be staff upstairs, which caused us to run amok and try on stripper outfits and harass the dudes rubbing one out. Immature? Completely! Yet, it was deliciously fun!! I think of our Sex World trips as a rite of passage, that I look back fondly at. Oh to be young again!
Who wouldn't visit a place called SEX WORLD on a trip through Minneapolis? Okay, so maybe some would skip this raunchy step but it was an actual destination on my itinerary. I was looking forward the a 3 story sex shop.
I was disappointed that the two upper floors were closed for apparent construction. What was up there? I'm assuming more lingerie and bondage items that were glaringly absent on the bottom floor. However, the open floor boasted row after row of porn, silicone dildos, smoking equipment, and "The Dollhouse".
The Dollhouse is a pay as you go strip tease given by girls in clear glass booths. The girls looked incredibly bored and a tad contemptuous sitting in their clear cubes. This place is skanky and sketchy but so goes most porn palaces. And of porn palaces in general, I am a fan.
For the love of God, please don't ask why I was thinking about Sex World on my commute this morning. But I was, hence the update.
So anyway, the most socially acceptable time to find oneself in an adult toy store, especially one that's as dirty as Sex World, is on the eve of your bachelorette party, which was the last time I was here.
And that was when I witnessed the most socially unacceptable time to visit an adult toy store. If you and your spouse have just been married and you're both still dressed to the nines in your wedding finery, just say 'NO' to the creepy groomsman who suggests you make a quick pit stop at Sex World before high tailing it to the honeymoon suite.
Me and my friends all had eyes as wide as dinner plates as soon as we spotted *that* wedding party. Never mind the Mr. Ed ding dong, the mannequin wearing the pleather assless chaps or the fetish couple with more piercings than Danny Bonaduce has freckles, no, we were far more shocked that a pair of newlyweds had left their reception and headed straight for Sex World. Who does that?!?
P.S. No offense intended, but I'm pretty sure they were from Coon Rapids.

This place is totally unclean. But that's not to say that an occasional jaunt to this particular… Read more »
I went here once to apply for a job. I felt this place was the perfect blend of kitsch and a tinge of naughty fun. Don't buy into the cleanliness bullcrap. This place is clean and if your shocked by the half naked women in the booths your really in the wrong store...
I would definitely go back again it was a fun time and made for interesting stories and conversation.
I was in Minneapolis one time visiting my former College roommate and she brought me to Sex World. God, what a hilarious adventure that turned out to be. I rode a giant mechanical penis! How many people can say that in their live time?? Sex world has got it all, and more! If you need gag gifts for a bachelorette party, fuzzy handcuffs, double sided dildos, stripper shoes or just a good laugh seeing what people are purchasing, this is the ultimate place! High five to Sex World!
From some of the reviews, I was thinking of wearing a hazmat suit to the store. However, the place was exceptionally clean! The store has a wide variety of novelties, condoms, fetish wear, tons of dvds and magazines. It is a very large and well-run store. The prices on novelties are great! I'm a fan and definitely will return.
This place is awesome.
The private booths have saloon doors that don't go all the way down so you can see peoples feet. Hmmm.. what are they doing? The fact that there is more than one floor makes it pretty awesome.
I went a long time ago. A very long time ago and I'm basing my review on that one time.
I don't even know how to rate this place.
It is either a five star or a one star for 24 hour access to peep shows, dvds, a variety of "personal accessories," and lots of creepy dudes loitering around.
Girls laughing about how we should go to sex world after the bars close is usually a fun sounding idea.. until you get there and people get kind of creeped out by the people inside. Kind of throws a wet blanket on the evening after that.
You'll know better for next time.
a lot of variety...a bit sketchy feeling, the girl in the back at 8 am (went with a freind to go shopping for bachlorette gifts) half naked that could be seen from the door was was a bit much.
Despite some issues with the place there is something genuinely loveable about a place that provides products that provide pleasure for people or something like that.
If you are looking for a place to get stuff to embarass your friend on her bachlorette party then look no further. They have a prime selection of everything you would need. They have a selection of toys too. I would stay away from the upstairs unless you want to get a pair of lucite stripper heels or see a peep show.
