Once upon a time there were few places to buy quality sex toys, books, magazines, videos, toys, fetish gear, and safer-sex supplies. Now you can find customer-friendly sex toy boutiques from coast to coast in the U.S. and Canada, and in many cities in the U.K. and Europe.

Online sex toy sources seem to multiply daily, some with quite elaborate websites. You should have no trouble finding retail and mail-order sources for well-made, attractive dildos, vibrators, and other toys and supplies designed with you in mind. You can also find accurate information and helpful advice. Many retail stores offer educational programming, from evening presentations to day-long workshops and ongoing classes. You'll find their calendars of events on their web sites.
