Review from Gerry, Nov 2011: A Good Shop
A good shop as per your reviews, and now with a new lady manager.
There's a good selection of DVDs, both at full price, and 3 for 30
pounds.
Review from Andy, Feb 2009:
Friendly and Helpful
I have purchased a few items from this store and although it is a
little small it is a pleasant shop to visit.
The goods are displayed in 2 different rooms, adult toys etc in the
first room and DVD's mags etc in the second room.
All the staff I have encountered have been friendly and helpful.
Review from Gus, Sept 2008: Right
at Ease
Just been to one simply pleasure store at Bondgate, Darlington, first
time in a sex shop the young female assistant was brilliant.
She made me feel right at ease and was very helpful and attended all
my needs will defo go back there.
From Richard:
Great Shop
This shop is not sleazy at all. The Sales rep was very
helpful and didn't make you feel uncomfortable. Great offers. All around
great atmosphere, good bloke, great shop.

LicensedFrom a reader
Excellent selection of DVD and videos and at a good price too, however,
very average choice and number of sex toys / marital aids and VERY poor
selection of clothes. Parking is good but the entrance is very public facing
onto a quite busy major junction - also they don't take credit cards so make
sure and take cash with you if you go along
From Kit
I travelled to Derby today to have a look at the shop as the prices
mentioned on your site seemed quite reasonable. I have to say that it was a
very good shop with a very relaxed atmosphere. The staff were both
knowledgeable and very helpful. What they fail to mention on the note they
sent you was that they also sell 3 DVDs / videos for £50 (cheaper than some
of the on-line mail order companies!). I would recommend this shop to anyone
who happens to be in Derby.
From the shop:
All DVDs and videos £20. No gimmicks half price exchange on dvds videos
or swap between both. Also available swap 2 old DVDs /videos for 1 brand new
one (R18) no charge. Over 1000 films in stock. Large range of marital aids
clothing magazines lubricants novelties new stock arriving daily. Large
double shop front near city centre. Large car park. Friendly staff.

News from Easy Tiger, July 2008:
Under New Management
The shop was taken over by Dom Promotions in September
2007. It was re-modelled and completely re-stocked.
Massive range of R18's,sex toys, lingerie, shoes, leather, rubber and
pvc.
From Easy Tiger:
Licensed
This is a licensed sex-shop and therefore stocks R18 DVD's, along with toys,
books, magazines, clothing and novelties.
From Lizzie and Gary:
Lovely Shop
This is a lovely shop, light bright and fun to be in. Well worth a visit for
toys, mags, DVDs and more. They stock a really good range of products and
hold an extensive catalogue range for specific items of clothing, toys,
shoes and fetish gear.
The staff are all really friendly, bubbly and professional and happy to
demonstrate any of the items on the shelves – shops like this go a long way
towards getting rid of that 'seedy' image people have of licensed sex shops.
They all clearly had good knowledge of the products they sell, and made the
experience of shopping there fun!
They make you feel very welcome and it's a great place for women and couples
to shop without being uncomfortable at all about what they are buying. The
only warning I would give is, take a lot of money with you, they clearly
enjoy what they do, and their enthusiasm is infectious!

Review from Ian, August 2011:
Looking Great
I found myself in Doncaster the other day in Copley road and found
that the old Hot Planet sex shop located at number 35/37 was now
called The Naughty Company.com.
I went inside and found a great stocked licensed sex shop. It had
loads of R18 DVDs from £5 upwards
and loads of offers on all films. Admittedly, the cheaper films were
older titles but they also stocked all the latest titles at
£25 each, 3 for
£50 or 7 for
£100 all with half price exchange.
They also had loads of clothing and shoes at the lowest prices I have
encountered. The adult toy selection was huge and all priced the same as
on their website.
Overall, I found the staff knowledgeable and non-pushy. The shop
looks great and I will be going back again soon, only this time I'm
taking the wife with me!

From the
manager:I have been open 2.5 years. Although the shop is small, it
is (in my opinion and many of the customer's) a nicely decorated, friendly,
welcoming place, where you are free to browse at your leisure. Forbidden? is
fully licensed and has a range of DVD at £30, VHS at £27 over 150 titles
from various distributors inc, Gay, Lesbian, TV, TS as well as straight.
Also on offer is a rental service and exchange. I have around 40 different
types of vibrators for men and women from £6-£45. I can arrange special
orders and endeavour to find what the customer is looking for. I also have a
splash of lingerie, novelty items and cards. The stock is being regularly
updated with new products from wherever I fancy. Nice shop for nice people
at a reasonable price.

From Basic Instincts July 2007:
Adult Service
We have moved into the old part of Dublin
called Temple Bar right in the City centre. In a superbly restored early
Georgian building we are located at
8, Eustace Street,
Temple Bar.
Our shop is twice as large as our previous one and carry a superb range
of ‘Fetish' gear from around the world.
We are 50/50 straight/gay clientel . We have a superb cinema and dvd cabins for personal
entertainment in the basement. We can offer luxury apartment rental
overhead with 4 suite apartments on offer along with private parking.
We
at Basic Instincts provide a complete ‘Adult' service to everybody.
From the Mystery Shopper,
February 2006:
Quite impressed
It's a store with a big gay following but I found
broad appeal product too. In the back room were gay titles on one wall and
straight DVDs on the other, mostly around 60 Euro.
I felt relaxed as I admired lots of strap-ons in leather with bright
chrome. Bondage equipment made up one wall and there was a bargain bin of
discontinued lines.
Quite impressed.

retailers pink exterior. Great use of frosted glass and neon made it look
very classy.
As well as a good spread of novelty lines and bondage bits, there was a
display of books on the floor.
Beyond dolls I found the DVDs, including titles you couldn't buy in the
UK for €60, and more mainstream product for €50, all with a 50% exchange
option.
On the third wall was a big range of lingerie. Everything seemed well
arranged and clean, and I enjoyed the relaxed shopping atmosphere.

News November 2010: Unclassified DVDs
The shop assistant in charge of the shop at the time of a police raid
was convicted for selling unclassified videos.
From the Mystery Shopper,
February 2006: First Class Window
This was my favourite find in Dublin, not least
thanks to a first class window display.
It's an exotic adult boutique style store which got bigger as I
discovered room after room. The first was a fashion and fetishwear space.
The next had bronze bunny-girls with toys and erotic books. The next room
with more clothes, medical goodies and glass dildos led to a piercing studio
out back and a DVD room. The range of DVDs stretched from €35 to €80.
I'd like to give this shop 5 stars, but I just can't shake the memory of
the rather weighty pricing.
From Jad:
It has a large selection of bondage, fetish wear, toys, mags vids and dvds.
It is a fun friendly shop with a less sterile and more open approach to sex
shopping, no bell for entry no white walls! Stocks many things most other
Dublin sex shops lack and has a brilliant staff. It also has a piercing and
tattoo parlour. I love this shop and definitely think it one of the best in
Dublin.

A busy shop with a long thin layout with glass cabinets that look great.

They have viewing booths and a limited range of DVDs for €30 displayed

I liked this shop
From a reader:
Huge collection
A huge collection of videos/dvd's covering all tastes.
This store also has video booths where you can watch a movie.
From the shop:
Energetic
We are probably the most popular, up-to-date, energetic store in Dublin.
Shauna's is the most heavily stocked shop for all ends of the market, i.e.
tv, ty, gay, lez, straight and any other type you care to mention, ask any
supplier from Barcelona to Amsterdam to Birmingham to London to Budapest to
Prague.

From Philip:
I don't know whether they're licensed or not.
They have a massive range of toys and all sorts of lingerie and
fetish wear. The proprietor is a very obliging lady, very unlike some of
the 'dodgy geezer' types in other shops. The atmosphere of the shop is
more like a boutique, is quite compact and on two floors. The ground
floor has a back room displaying magazines, though I saw no hardcore on
display.
The DVDs and Videos are literally from 'under the counter'. They have both
first and second-hand DVDs at either 50 or 45 each - expensive to say the
least. But they do have a half-price exchange policy which I've used
without quibble. The selection was rather limited and it was
difficult to browse properly when faced with a pile of titles unsorted in
any way. So, the good point was the service and the range of clothes
and toys, the bad points are the prices and the display of the DVDs. I
also found their web-site rather poor.
