2. Freddy and Eddy - CLOSED
I am absolutely heartbroken that Freddy & Eddy has gone online-only. Raise your vibes in salute to the finest sex store that ever was. They are still running their online store, as noted, so go show 'em some love and gratitude.

After visiting their website many times, I finally got to visit Freddy and Eddy 's wonderful store… Read more »
3. Liberator Factory Store
(cross posted from blog)
Curving through the industrial park, glancing at the large brick warehouses and factories on either side, we weren't sure that we were in the right place. Mind you, Atlanta's premiere S&M dungeon is in a similar park, but it…More »

4. Wild At Heart
What a fun store! We visited Wild at Heart the day after dropping by Babeland. The woman at the front counter was helpful without being in our business, and the store is nicely laid out. Unlike Babeland, most of the sex toys are still in the…More »

5. Babeland
Babeland is the best chain of sexuality boutiques that I'm aware of, and this branch is no exception. We visited with a couple-friend of ours, and for one of the us it was the first time to a Babeland! As usual, there was a delightful array of…More »

6. Frederick's of Hollywood Retail Store
A great store to visit if you want to bring back a bit of lingerie for your partner (either to wear, or to enjoy on you). The interior is nicely set up and items can be bought in a range of prices. I got a lovely little item for $20 (full price)…More »
7. The Lusty Lady
Ok - here is the deal. It's a whack-shack and you should know that before you consider entering. That said, you should assume that there are boxes of tissue around, and that not everyone uses the tissues. If you know this, and you are peace with…More »

8. The Voluptuous Vixen
Perhaps you will visit The Voluptuous Vixen in order to stock your wardrobe with delightful, fashion-forward garments for work. Maybe you'll go in order to pick out the perfect, most seductive formal gown or date outfit. You could also drop by for…More »

Atlanta, GA 30324

Category: Adult Entertainment
Neighborhood: Morningside / Lenox Park
If I could give this less than 1 star, I would. I got a free gift card to Inserection and we decided to visit this one. There was a creepy guy un/fastening his pants (no joke) OUTSIDE the building, at the video booths entrance. He was giving us…More »

Categories: Women's Clothing, Costumes, Toy Stores, Cards & Stationery, Adult, Accessories
Junkman's is what Spencers (that awful chain of novelty stores found in shopping malls everywhere) wishes it could be, but will never become. Two floors of honestly unique novelty goodness, from decorative kitsch your gramma will coo over (e.g. cows…More »

11. Voluptuous Secrets
While spending time in Milwaukee, WI for AAFCS's annual conference my dad and I were driving about and happened to spot a lovely little store specializing in "lingerie for the full figured woman." It was rather late in the evening, so we made a…More »
12. A Woman's Touch
I was thrilled to discover that there is a Milwaukee location of this Madison store. We found on-street parking immediately in front of their door, drooled at their window display, and walked into the brick business-type building. Turning left, we…More »

Categories: Videos and Video Game Rental, Cinema, Newspapers & Magazines, Shoe Stores
Bedtyme (not time, tyme) Stories got my hopes up, thinking I had found a secret sex boutique in the adorable Asheville area. Alas, in spite of the lovely meadow mural on the outside of the store, it is just another smut shop. I should have known by…More »
14. Elations
Another well lit, clean, and friendly smut-shop style sex store, similar to Experience (also reviewed) in Athens. This used to be a Pizza Hut, I hear, and it looks a little sketchy from the outside. Windows and door have bars, and the parking lot…More »
15. Experience
****CLOSED IN LATE 2008*****
One of the stores in the "Inserection" chain, found mostly in Atlanta.
Experience is a clean, well lit and friendly version of your typical smut-shop style of sex store. From the outside, the store is a wide expanse of…More »
16. Toys in Babeland - CLOSED
*UPDATE* This branch of Babeland closed on April 30, 2008. How Sad! We highly recommend that folks in the LA Area (and online) visit Fredd&Eddy (http://www.freddyanded...) for your pleasure needs. They're also reviewed on my profile.
For my sex…More »

Good Vibes is the first adult store from which I ever made an online purchase - way back during my time in New York. It changed my life, because the atmosphere of their website encouraged me to learn about what I was buying, as well as myself,…More »
