Austin's Adult Store and Sex Shop Roundup

Now’s the time to spice up your bedroom life. (Not to imply that the bedroom is the only place for consensual, adult fun.) If you’re looking to shake things up, Austin does not suffer from a shortage of adult novelty shops, each offering a slightly different experience and goodies. Take your date night to the next level with one – or several – of these sex shops.

Q Toys

6800 Burnet Rd.
512/772-1614

This queer-owned and operated store sells only 100% body-safe items (meaning they’re made from non-toxic material that’s compatible with human tissue). People of all genders and sexualities are welcome to shop and/or attend various workshops. Owner Stephanie Boggs tells us their We-Vibe Sync is one of their bestsellers for folks with innies (as opposed to outies ... we’re not talking belly buttons).

Forbidden Fruit

108 E. North Loop Blvd.
512/453-8090

Featuring a diverse range of products and an equally diverse clientele, Forbidden Fruit has been “keeping Austin kinky” since 1981. They stock a wide array of locally made goodies from Vixen Creations, Fleshlight, and BDSM gurus Kinky Crafters. As long as you are 18 or older, everyone is welcome here. They're also a 20-time "Best of Austin" Readers Poll winner. Yowza.

With stores spanning four states, Cindie knows a thing or two about lingerie and X-rated toys. She also knows how to provide a judgment-free zone with quality customer service and a friendly, honest staff. “We have something for just about any sexy occasion – be it for a sweet surprise for your partner, or a naughty fantasy,” says the store’s Meredith DuBose. As for favorites, DuBose says staff recommend the Womanizer. In fact, she says we’ll thank her for the tip.

As for staff picks, Dee also recommends the We-Vibe Sync, calling it the perfect toy for couples, long-distance lovers, and single folks. What’s so special about it? Well, it’s controlled via your iPhone – there’s an app for that – or remote. Perfect for discreet play.
