I like perusing adult stores here and there to find new products to try out, especially when I'm traveling since you can learn a lot about the attitudes towards sex from local vendors. DYMK offered a lot of different things, from kitschy penis popsicles and straws for bach partiers, to your everyday sex items like lube and dildos. The staff were super friendly and patient with me as I was debating between different options of a specific product. They even gave me a heads up when something was improperly packaged, saving me a ton of money. They gave me their candid personal experience with specific toys/brands that they'd used with their partner, which was super helpful. I'll definitely be coming back to this shop when I visit SF in the future! read more

I was sad to find they were no longer in the old location, but thrilled to discover the new one. It's smaller, but very well curated with a great selection. The staff is friendly, and the service is attentive. Good value for your money. read more

Selection was extremely satisfying, Value for money was good , Service was great, I recommend DYMK to friends in Australia , they will check out the web site ... Thanks DYMK read more

This is your friendly neighborhood sex-toy shop! It may not have the variety that one can find on the world wide web, but it has the added benefit of instant gratification, and a fairly decent selection considering the size of the store. You can find everything from condoms and lube, all sorts of sex toys, and cute manties, to more hardcore items, like a human-size cage, rubber sheets, and a plethora of other *achem* specialty items. You can even find items for Bachelor/Bachelorette parties, including penis and boob cake pans, as well as some women's fetish clothing (not much, and no plus sizes!), and even one lonely display of pornographic DVD's...I guess everyone's streaming these days? Erm. You know what I mean. This store is blessedly 100% WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE...yes, even the aisles are wide and the turn radii are a piece of cake! And even if one of the middle racks was too far in one direction, they are on wheels and can be easily pushed in any direction. Given what a rarity finding an actually-accessible store in this city can be in general, this is such a welcome change, I'd give them 10 stars if I could!! The only issue I encountered during my visit to this shop the other day was a complete language barrier with the one employee behind the counter. He was clearly a nice person and wanted to help me, but couldn't understand a word I said and struggled to articulate any response, none of which made sense to me, either. He was able to handle ringing up my purchase just fine, but my question about a product was left unanswered. If you are someone who needs a lot of assistance and/or direction when it comes to your sextoy shopping experience, you might want to bring a knowledgeable friend, or even do some research online before heading over...or heck, while you're in the store! This store is a gem in this neighborhood, an opportunity to enhance your sex life while shopping in a clean, well-lit, fully-accessible store! read more

Many many options for all different tastes, but honestly the art here is hilarious and colorful! read more

Super great selection and great service from AUSTIN! So funny, kind, and so helpful when picking out products

I'm finally catching up on my "Year-End"...Most Favorites of 2022!!! And, In NO logical order is this AAAHHH-SOMELY FUN (yes, I use my own/personal dictionary) and Totally Adult rated boutique in the Hip Castro District of San Francisco, CA. Mind you, I was not in the mood to do home décor shopping this particular evening...check out my snapshots...I was shopping for "Something-Something"...if you get my drift...MMMmmmKaye! Anyways, walking into D.Y.M.K. on this particular evening I was literally drawn to the Cash Register area all because of my snapshots...I automatically ask if I could get one of those mini Rainbow Icee table lamps...Chris & Hugo behind the counter said that...this is your lucky day because that is the last "one"...(it's the floor sample), in which I asked "How much"??? (I actually don't remember what he told me) I said yes, Chris went to look for the box for the table lamp and I said don't worry but I did ask a very important question and that was..."Can you please give me a floor model merchandise discount"??? And wouldn't you know it...Chris said yes and offered me a discounted price on my newly purchased mini table lamp!!!!! Chris you have made me a totally loyal customer of D.Y.M.K. for life!!! So if you are reading this post...I want to spread my life experiences through YELP!!! And I hope the next time you are in a situation like this one I am sharing to you...Note to Self: Always ask the Manager behind the counter if they would be willing to offer a floor model discount!!! My purchase savings was on the sales tax! I have met some great people and I know that I will continue to receive great service at Does Your Mother Know??? Well Does She??? read more

What better thing to do on a Thanksgiving Day than visit an adult store before heading to the bar for some cocktails? Our lazy day had us wandering 18th Street in the Castro after having brunch, and we happened to stumble upon this store. What caught our eyes was something long, and enormously big and black sitting in the window. I asked out loud "Where are you supposed to put that thing?" and walked away from the group shaking my head. I was hanging out outside while my spouse and friends went in. Of course I get the shout out and hand signal to come in. Sigh... Because if you see something odd or gross, you want others to see it too. It's what you do. Being in the Castro, the shop caters more to the LGBT market. The shop was clean and organized. Without going into details, you can find a wide variety of items, from personal to gag gifts, the latter of which I should've made a purchase for as a grab bag gift, but I wasn't about to stuff my suitcase with items that would make me ashamed should the TSA decide to pop it open for a check!? LOL. OVERALL: For business, pleasure, or emergencies, it's a convenient, one-stop shop! read more

Does Your Mother Know - That's more of a deadly weapon lol! - VN - Adult Shops Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love this store! They have soooo many different kind of games, toys and more. The selection is ridiculous! Soooo much to choose from. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Always a huge smile on all their faces. The prices are great too and the store is always nice and clean. I would totally recommend this store! read more

Love it here the atmosphere is alway inviting and lively mot to mention I've made many friends here in my short years of moving to cali from east coast Selection of lubes is just wow, I've bought so many dildos from here I'm sure my mom would faint or question my sanity lol A must shop tourist attraction!!! read more

I love that the store was so big and wide, everything is spaced out nicely. It make checking out and looking around better. I did not have to worry about knocking anything down. Many different lube, many different kinds condom. It have a bright and have a welcoming and friendly feel. The people who work work was helpful. Nice selection of underwear. I saw the biggest dildo...ever. It was EYES OPENING TO SEE SUCH SIZE exist...kinda scared me..... read more

I liked it better when they had cute, kitschy stuff. I'd go and spend an hour looking at the fun things, leaving with cards and novelties. Not sure why the Castro needed another place to buy butt plugs. But here it is. read more

WOW = if my mother knew how much I spent at this store - $1,000 she would clutch her pearls..... I GO here for all my gag/bachlorette gifts - come here forget all the other sex stores. Lube: 100's to choose from. not your typical straight place where you only have 3 to choose from (astro, ky, & baby oil) Hours of operations: love it! as i can go here in middle of the night to buy lube, if im lucky that night w/ the boo - giggles Staff: very informative of their products and samples are shown if you need a demonstration - meow! read more

WHERE DID KENNETH GO!? Okay, I came in here with my best friend just to kill some time. Not even to shop. And this guy came up to is, excellent customer service and made us feel so comfortable! He helped us choose things we wouldn't think of even buying. (but we did and the products are great!) He recommended many different toys to us and different knick knacks we can use ;) this store has a VARIETY of EVERYTHING!!! It's right next to badlands too (which is great!) I'd give this store a 5 star rating if Kenneth still worked here. The workers here now just make it awkward. :/ read more

Does Your Mother Know - Adult Shops Near Me - San Francisco, California

It's alright. I mean, there's a huge collection of novelty items, and a selection of huge insertables. It wasn't anything super special. Cheerful location. On street level. Decent sales associates. Compared to many other shops, it was okay. Not awesome, like also-local Good Vibrations or Mr. S Leather. But, okay. read more

The staff working there was professional but not knowledgeable whatsoever. Instead of being honest and saying "I'm not sure" the staff helping me just made up lies about all of the products I had questions about. I bought 3 items and all 3 thing did not work as described by the clerk. Only reason I didn't score this spot lower is because I've been here once before and the service was decent. Their toys are decently priced but go in there know what you want because dealing with the staff is a crap shoot read more

I never thought I'd encounter such a friendly and helpful employee. Punya took the time to explain several different products, shared his personal experiences, and best beginner recommendations. Date of visit: 12/29/2020 read more

Looking for a birthday card to give to your ex-boyfriend's new boyfriend that says "I'm not bitter, in fact I'm glad you're stuck with him now and I think you're cute in a 'if we ever had too much to drink we'd probably hook up, but you're not interesting enough to actually date' sort of way so let's have another drink"?? If so, this is where you'll find that card complete with photos. If you're looking for a card that just says, "Happy Birthday," you should check aisle 9 at Safeway instead. read more

Hmmmmm????? Stopped in here to buy my Grandfather a card for his 90th birthday. Call me crazy, but I didn't think a dildo was an appropriate substitute. Holy change of direction, Batman! read more

So, turns out, it's definitely no longer a stationery store. This registered after I walked five or six bold paces through the door and couldn't turn around and vacate in any subtle way whatsoever. So I just went with it and gave the new DYMK a spin just for kicks. I don't think I'm really the demo for this shop, so I can't speak much for the product line. The reason I'm giving three stars is that as potentially scary as this place could be, it was immaculate, organized, and the staff was really friendly. So, E for Effort, right? Also notable, they have the largest selection of bachelorette party favors and inappropriately shaped pasta I have ever seen. I'm not big into either, but if you are, get excited, because your search is finally over. I understand the owners need to make choices to stay in business, but I'm sure going to miss my subversive-humor holiday cards. read more

Have shopped there for a years just because of the location. It's basically an over priced sex novelty store that exploits the gay tourist neighborhood with hiked up prices. I bought a twenty dollar bottle of lube and tried to return it, because the pump on the bottle was faulty and you couldn't get the stuff out of the bottle. I came back and asked for a store exchange. The clerks said in order to do so, I had to come back when a manager was there Monday though Wednesday during certain hours. Just ridiculous! I live out in the east bay. I left the bottle there, never to return. read more

After meeting up with some folks en route to my car we happened upon this lovely little shop. It was a really cold evening so the warmth inside was nice and inviting. For a place that seems geared towards male clientele I was pleased to find a decent amount of adult toys and gifts for women. I was mostly mesmerized by the movie clips that played around the shop featuring an assortment of tan, non-tan, hairy, non-hairy, shoe-wearing, barefoot, bald, and non-bald, amorous men who enjoyed the outdoors as well as in the indoors. It made me think of how I never happen upon scenes like these when my lumberjack and I go out for a picnic :( read more

i love the name!!! the service is great, the guys working that day were very helpful and fun. they know their products very well and very patient. My bf i looooved this place read more

I came here looking for penis candies... Not only did they have a variety of penis candies, but they had awesome customer service! The nice gentleman helped me with my horrible indecisiveness and talked through which ones to get. He even gave me some great tips on how to improve the desert I was using them for. I will make sure to come back here for all of my party supplies :) read more

Love this store, great customer service but they didn't carry a very specific Brazilian lube that we previously had imported for us by a friend of ours in the Mission. Anyway, they still have a great selection, and this shop has lots of provisions that we use on a daily basis. If you're really into getting a sexual awakening, this is the place to equip yourself for an erotic adventure that you won't forget. Lots of tools here to keep things interesting! read more

The move to the new locale opens this place up. It was previously in some shoebox store down the street but now it looks nice and very, well, gay. Instead of christmas cards, i have changed to letters but a friend of mine hollered back "Christmas isn't the same without a holiday drag queen! I want Santa in pumps, reindeers in wigs!" and those cards, my friends, can be found here. read more

wow. This was my "go to" card shop for witty, gay birthdays or other events. Now it is a poor excuse for an adult store where it feels just plain skeevy to walk in. There are already so many adult oriented stores in the Castro that this was not needed. The others are better anyway. I assume the store was sold and the new owners changed it? Too bad. read more

Stopped by here because my friend needed some stuff. My boyfriend and I were walking around the store and they had TONS of stuff to choose for our friend. Nice section of party favors. The workers were really nice, friendly and had humor. They were helpful when we were looking for things for ourselves. read more

Nice little sex shop in the Castro. They are friendly to be help open boxes to see what the actual item looks like unlike other stores. They just don't carry some of the cheaper priced stuff. Nothing is cheap. read more

Don't bother going in if you're over 40 years old. You are not welcome--and they will not waste any time making sure that you understand that you are a nuisance, rather than a customer deserving respect. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but everyone gets older. Do not expect to be acknowledged as a customer if you don't fit their "profile". After my attempt to purchase several items was essentially ignored, I left my items on the counter--feeling unacknowledged and unwelcome. read more

Does my mother know that I went to a very slightly gay-boy focused sex shop? I'm not sure she would care. While it's a great place to pick up the Eros-M silk lube that I love (zomgbestlubeever), and a fine place to buy an enormous anal toy (really, like the size of my thigh), it's really not that shocking. It sells a usual assortment of sex toys, a really great selection of lubes, various random things like an ice mold of a woman's torso where your drink comes through the nipples, and, well, the aforementioned anal toys in every size, mostly large. Though the Master + Trainee sets would have a spot in any good Dom's collection. The whole place is super clean, brightly lit, and very pleasant. It's a bright boutique, not a seedy place, and the woman who was working there when I dropped by was great. It's fine, just not special. Other than lubes. If you're feeling a bit dry, drop by. read more

Love this store! It is very clean and they are always friendly! Especially MARK!! He made us feel very comfortable! He was so patient and knew his stuff! He showed us just about every item we wanted to see AND he was knowledgeable! He knew exactly what we were looking for and did a wonderful job helping us find it :) Thank you Mark, we appreciate you and we will definitely come back to see you!!! The store has a wide variety of products for both men and women!!! :) read more

Only giving two stars because of the great selection. I dropped something and they kicked me out of the store. Ruined our night. 0/5 would not recommend. read more

I was there on Thursday 5/9/2019 around 8.p.m I spend$70 worth merchandise there was two guys working they seem like they wore mad because they wore working didn't greet me at all they seem didn't want bee there the especially the Guy (African-American) who charge me I ask him for the price and he rudely and attitude answer me you get your receipt after you pay definitely im not coming back ever again. read more

Been here quite a couple times. Bought some anal beads before I went to badlands. To quote Pee Wee, "WHAT'S THE SIGNIFICANCE? I DON'T KNOW!" The guys were totally awesome. I'd love to bring my b/f here, but I can't even bring him in Sephora/utne with me. Much less a gay porn store. read more

Sam was so nice he talked to me about me and my boyfriends first time I would definitely go back just to talk to my Sam. He was great.

Their stock unfortunately confirms the notion that most gay men are obsessed with chiseled looks and buff bods, since every other card displays a combination of the two on its cover. Is it a sign of age that I find it all juvenile and tiresome? Naked men belong in magazines, videos, or bed, doing what naked men do best . . . not bearing a birthday cake wearing a smirk and nothing else. Cards in the nude-free zone are nothing special, and wrapping paper and ribbon cost a lot less elsewhere. read more

There are several adult shops around the Castro. If you have the time to price shop you will save money as different things are cheaper at different stores. This one is clean, with a nice staff and a good layout. More male body oriented then Good Vibes read more

The gold standard for naked men on cards. Anybody know how I can get my profile picture published?
