Things We Learned by Visiting Every Sex Shop in Dallas

Thanks to TikTok, the viral, sucking rose toy vibrator has been getting everyone back into shopping at adult stores — whether it's to have fun with a partner or for self-pleasure. Each and every shop we visited in Dallas named the rose as their most highly requested item. Aside from the rose toy and dildos, butt plugs also remain a popular hit at sex shops.

Whether you’re looking into spicing up your sex life or interested in buying a gift for that special someone, there’s a shop out there for anyone and everyone in Dallas. We talked to 15 sex shops about the wildest stories or experiences they’ve had along with the biggest dildo each one sells. Here’s to tapping into your inner sexual creative being and having a powerful orgasm. Happy shopping!

Adam & Eve (franchise location)
18900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 118
If you’re not familiar with this company, it’s one of the most popular, classic brand names for sex toys. Since it is a franchise location, they offer a variety of toys here outside of the Adam & Eve brand. Despite the rose’s popularity, the store tries to educate and offer customers an alternative vibrator they could try. At Adam & Eve, no question is considered out of the norm, as they are completely open to the trans, queer and non-binary community and offer a selection that is accessible to all.

“Adam & Eve strives to make it a comfortable, welcoming place for anyone’s first or hundredth time,” says manager Laura Timberlake. “We don’t necessarily have a female or male section, but instead we categorize products by the body part you are wanting to satisfy. We try to cater to everyone as much as we can.” To find a sex toy that is right for you, take a look at their Instagram @adamevedallas or visit dallas.adamevestores.com

Biggest dildo size: 12 inches
Craziest story: Timberlake says, “There isn’t anything too out of the ordinary. We are a non-judgmental place and want to provide something that is open and inclusive to all. No question is ever really a strange question. All questions just need an answer.”

Condom Sense (Lower Greenville)
19009 Preston Road #112
One of the biggest stores on this list, Condom Sense offers a wide selection of anything you can think of sex-wise. Want to channel your inner freak of 50 Shades of Gray? They have a huge wall of bondage gear, everything from ball gags to chains, whips, handcuffs and leashes for BDSM. Other items include adult novelties and DVDs, books, stimulants, lubricants, dildos, vibrators, male masturbators and a lingerie selection for both men and women. But there's more: prostate massagers, anal beads and anal plugs from Adam & Eve, Rear, Satisfyer and many more.

“Regardless of your gender or sexuality, you’re going to be able to have a butt to put stuff in, so we offer great choices for our anal toys,” says manager Ammie Wheeler. The staff is all highly trained here since they are required to take in-depth training and classes frequently. Condom Sense was named the “Best Sex Shop” in the Dallas Observer’s Best of Dallas issue in 2017. Check out their Instagram @condomsensedfw or visit condomsense.us.

Biggest dildo size: Their biggest regular one is 17 inches and their double 16 and a half inches.

Craziest story: Wheeler says that people will call in and try to have phone sex with either her or her staff members and not pay for it. “It’s weird. They’ll be trying to flirt and ask personal questions, and then I’ll be hearing random noises in the background,” she says.
Bad Baby’s (Bishop Arts)
428 W. Davis St., Suite 1
A female- and POC-owned business, Bad Baby's opened just this year in Bishop Arts. The aesthetics, lighting and neon signs here make it a perfect spot for Instagram photo-ops. Owner Daijah Poteat says she saw a lack of sex stores in the Bishop Arts area and wanted to open up her own women-friendly shop. Here, she offers adult games, lingerie, sex swings, whips, kegel balls, four different types of rose toys (all out on display), rabbit and silicon vibrators, anal plugs from Satisfyer and Booty Sparks, strap-on dildos, wands, cotton candy and bubble gum lubricants, and anal douches and lubricants. Check out her amazing shop on Instagram @badbabysdfw or visit badbabysnovelties.com.

Biggest dildo size: 50 centimeters and about 20 inches.

Craziest story: Poteat says she gets asked whether certain dildos or butt plugs will fit them. “I don’t know, nor would I want to know," she says. "That is up to the customer and it’s none of my business.”

Condom Sensation
6862 Greenville Ave.
You won’t be able to miss Condom Sensation as they have two sex dolls right at their store front window (one of them hanging from the ceiling). Condom Sensation offers unique toys such as the vibrating unicorn butt plug and the Sucky Ducky clitoral vibrator. One of their most popular sex toys is the “Inmi” which is a powerful licking and thumping toy. If they don’t have something that you request, it can be ordered.

“Just give us a week, and we will have it ordered,” says manger Kendra Mixon. Check out their Instagram @condomsensationdtx.

Biggest dildo size: The Au Naturel “Big John,” 11.5 inches.

Craziest story:  "We get a lot of weird phone calls," says employee Casey Burns. "At first they sound normal, but then they want us to send them pictures or demonstrations using a product. Or they’ll ask very detailed questions about my own preferences.”

Manager Kendra Mixon says, ”I had a preacher that came in and he had gained a bunch of weight. He had lost the weight, but his wife didn’t want to have sex with him anymore,” she says. “I know what exact questions to ask, and it turns out he had hemorrhoids and had erectile dysfunction. So I told him what products or toys would work best for his marriage, and he later came back to tell me that I had literally changed his life.”

The Spot Adult Boutique
19177 Preston Road, Suite 175
The Spot classifies its selection as luxury sex toys, and they offer a wide selection of lingerie and premium vibrators from brands such as Womanizer, FemmeFunn, Maia and LELO. They have dildos ranging from glass, to suction, the rose and a variety of rabbit toys. Other items include a wall of anal plugs, sex wedge pillows, BDSM gear, male toys, pheromone sprays, massage lotions, lubricants and sex toy cleaners. The staff is knowledgeable, non-judgmental, open and friendly to any level of experience from beginner to advanced sex levels.

“What makes us unique is that we try to get to know the customer a little bit better instead of asking what brand they are looking for,” assistant manager Robert Delgado says. “If you have a certain kink or fetish, odds are we will probably have something that works for you.” They also have birthday, entertainer and military discounts. Check them out on their Instagram @thespotboutique.

Craziest story: “You get a lot of weird questions or too much information about somebody,” Delgado says. “If I had to recall, a customer had asked for an anal hook … which the way he described it was a basically a meat hook from a slaughter house.”

As for the oddest thing, she says, “The weirdest thing I discovered while working here is learning about a urethral sex toy that literally goes into a man’s urine hole.”

Fun fact: A sales manager by the name of Jamil says, “The most unusual toy that we carry is a mouth gag that can be used as a urinal for the face by the brand Ouch! And we also have a strap-on urinal piss gag by Oxballs.”

Fun fact on their $7,000 sex dolls: “They’re so expensive that people never really get a chance to see it in person,” owner Kurt Lassberg says. “The real dolls have been around for 20 something years, but no stores have them for you to go look at. I figured if I put one in the store that people would want to come see it.” Amazing Video Superstore

Craziest story: An employee says, “A customer wasn’t trying to return something, but they were trying to show us that the toy was missing a charger.
