I once interviewed the editor of Adultshop's web site and she recommended that lovers "be bold, be direct and be fearless, because nothing is as sexy as a lover who knows exactly what they want". And she should know, having fielded queries from thousands of online shoppers keen to spice up their sex life.
While Adultshop is Australia's leading online adult store, its physical shops aren't doing too badly. So much for a supposed slump in retail, on the day I popped into their Yokine/Dog Swamp outlet, the place was pumping (do pardon the pun) with no less than eight shoppers excluding this little Yelp scout. That the store is situated in family-friendly Centro Flinders shopping centre is a surprise, but then I suppose anything goes in desperate consumerism these days.

In fact it'd be a hen's or buck's night dream hangout if the shopping centre was open late enough! read more
