    The BDSM section is much smaller than it used to be.

    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!

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

    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???

    That's more of a deadly weapon lol! - VN

    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!

Despite the website and all socials stating they service the West Coast and listing Seattle, WA and Portland, OR both as one of their cities, they emailed back stating that Washington was out of their service range. I emailed a screenshot of their website and asked if that was another company or perhaps only certain games, and was told the following: "For your information, our office and warehouses are located in San Francisco, CA. While we do serve the Washington, Oregon, and Nevada areas, please note that due to the extended travel distance, our minimum one-day rental for events in Washington is $18,500 plus delivery." Needless to say, I would not suggest using them.

I had always wanted to see this classic story on stage so I jumped at the opportunity. It is a small theatre so chances of a sold out show is high; definitely purchase tickets early. It is a small theatre hidden within the Kensington hotel on the second floor. There is a small bar area on the main floor of the theatre. Bathrooms were nice and clean. The front row of the balcony are the best seats and offers a perfect view of the stage; you can see everything as well as have a clear view of the actors' faces and the emotions. I think any row beyond the accessible seats you might have some obstruction from heads and may need to lean forward a little to see what's happening. I'd love to see more shows here. M. Butterfly had an excellent cast. The play was moving and enhanced so much history, culture, politics, romance, drama, gender, and sexuality.

This night was supposed to be both my birthday and New Year's Eve, and nothing about this experience justified the price or the hype. There was no NYE countdown at all, which is unbelievable for a New Year's event. No moment, no energy, no collective celebration -- it honestly felt like just another dead night at a club. The vibe was extremely low. People looked sad, bored, or irritated, not excited to ring in a new year. Most people weren't even dressed like it was NYE, which says a lot about how poorly this event was curated. I like Ogeesy, but his performance was very underwhelming. He barely performed, did not engage the crowd, and brought no energy. It felt rushed and disconnected, not like a headlining New Year's set at all. To make things worse, everything was spilled everywhere, and despite having Tier 2 tickets, we were never given wristbands to access the upper level we paid for. Nothing about this night felt celebratory, special, or high-vibe -- especially for entering a new year or celebrating a birthday. I truly regret spending this money and wish I could get a refund so I can redo my birthday, because this was easily the most disappointing NYE experience I've ever had. I expected far more from Temple, especially at this price point.
