This isn't really for me but I'm sure that there are a lot of people to whom this would appeal. I was a little taken aback by the sight of such stuff but my main aim was just to get a cami/chemise. So, with regards to THAT side of the shop (and that side only!)... It is very reasonably priced and I would recommend it definitely. The service was great and I was asked if I needed any help at all, which I find quite reassuring in a ...specialised shop like this one.

Passion Online is a large adult shop at the Newport Road end of City Road. Painted in bright cerise…read morepink, there's no missing it, but thankfully it is pretty discrete about what it does! I have no objection to these kinds of shops, and I am pleased to see that they are generally more accepted these days than they used to be. The fact that the sex shops of old, which were predominantly targeted at men, have morphed into emporiums that offer lots of products to enhance female as well as male satisfaction can only be a good thing. Instead of dirty vids, with their ludicrous and often deeply offensive content, as well as a plethora of other products that provide passive forms of 'pleasure', both vicariously and auto erotically, this new breed of shop caters more for a participatory expression of sexual activity, which one would hope would lead to a better understanding of the sexual drives and desires of both sexes, as well as a more democratic delivery of satisfaction all round. This is borne out by Passion's commitment to the idea "that couples who play together, stay together". Nevertheless, I do wonder about what inspires these shops to call themselves things like Passion! Surely the vast number of products available, (sex toys, fetish gear, maids and nurses costumes, amongst many others, books and vids, S and M paraphernalia etc...), are to excite some kind of response in people that need ever increasing stimulus to get them to a place of arousal...? Passion is innate, and doesn't need the merest hint of perversion to excite it. Some of the products that Passion carry are pretty kinky, which is fine in itself, but certainly doesn't conform to my idea of passion. Nurses outfits inspire lust as far as I'm concerned, and love inspires passion.

Well stocked. Great staff. Great atmosphere. I enjoyed the experience. Will definitely be back.read more

From the owner: A well stocked shop run by in scene people. Everything to satisfy, from New-Bee to the BDSM…read moreconnoisseur. Many items manufactured exclusively for My Only Vice, from electro play to full Latex outfits. The shop is split into 3 sections the 1st section is our mens leather section with body jewellery some lingerie, lubes, poppers. The main section then goes into sex toys and more lingerie, we have separate sections for leather, pvc and latex, I would say we probably have one of the largest stock of latex clothing and accessories. We specialise in bondage and s&m equipment and stock a huge range of cuffs, gags, hoods, slings, electroplay equipment, rope, chain and all things fetish. We stock shoes, boots, wigs and we do stock the larger sizes for Tv, crossdressers, and Ts, we are a pangendered shop and myself and my staff are in scene people with a wealth of knowledge about our products. The rear of the shop is our DVD lounge we have a huge range of DVD, in excess of 1000 titles in stock, s

The aim of Pomegranate is "to re-write the rule book between women and their sexuality"…read more This is a sex shop, but not as we know it. No smut, rather a boudoir-style store with a range of toys unwrapped and on display. Alongside the toys, there is also lingerie, books, games and bedroom accessories. Pomegranate may still make many of us blush, but it's going all out to re-write that rule book.

They have a range of gorgeous corsets, french knickers and burlesque accessories- and everything's totally affordable. You think it looks expensive but actually the prices are really reasonable and the lingerie is of a much higher quality than places like Ann Summers and La Senza but more reasonable in price! The staff are friendly and candid- they make you feel really comfortable as soon as you walk in. They have so much going on as well, they do sexual technique workshops, erotic book club, and are always present a big events in the community such as Pride. Highly recommended :)

I undoubtedly get embarrassed when I go into Ann Summers thinking what all the other shoppers think…read moreI'm up to, but after having that thought and getting into a shop then I'm generally quite satisfied with Ann Summers. The underwear is actually good quality, unusual and not all as provocative as you might think. They do of course also have a large section of other adult toys and costumes ranging in price. Its all well set out towards the back of the shop with bit and pieces on display too. I have to agree the staff are really good, they certainly aren't judgmental or prudish and they are really helpful and fun.
