I can"t say that my suburb is the most conservative suburb, but it"s not the least. There"s at least one that I know of. And, well, there are more sex shops in the CBD than anywhere else I"ve noticed. You definitely don"t need to go far before you hit one.

Ours is actually right in the middle of everything, but it manages to escape notice. Then again, in a town 30 miles away, the porn shop was shut down after an obscenity trial. They were selling the same kind of porn as everyone else, but they still got fingered. Sad.

Area: Route 130    City: Florence

Sex shops tend to accumulate around the two lanes-per-side blacktop highway, also home to many defunct fast food restaurants, go-go bars, liquor stores and abandoned strip malls or shopping centers, most with off-brand storefront baptist churches.

Fantasyland seems to do pretty brisk business, but then again, it is the only game in town. They"re open 10-10 Monday through Saturday, but they close at 5 on Sundays.I assume so they can make to church in the evening. It is in the Bible Belt.

We have a sex shop [lost] in the middle of nowhere in the mess that is the industrial district and there"s a strip club that recently got renamed in a strip mall to the north. Once was with a friend dropping off a neighbor girl to interview at the sex shop... all us guys opted to wait in the car for her interview (tho we were 18). She returned saying another old acquaintance works there.

There are three sex shops on my way back from work. One is in an area of the city that could be classified as "Uptown", another is tucked into a fairly discrete place under an overpass, but next to a shortcut. The last one is interesting: It sits in the property of a failed pawn shop, next to an awesome vietnamese food place, and... a children"s haircut salon.

Washington
Saturday 07th of March 2009 8:13 am

Area: Along I-35E, formerly along SH-12    City: Dallas, TX

"Sexually oriented businesses" used to be clumped together like that here, but the city passed an ordinance prohibiting them from being within a mile of each other, so now they"re pretty spread out. However, they"re also prohibited from being within a mile of a school, which means they tend to be found hidden in industrial districts and office parks.

On the Iowa side, there are several strip clubs, distributed all over. One, for example, is across the street from NorthPark Mall, a major shopping center.    City: Quad Cities

Nobody around here gets all bent out of shape over the strip clubs, etc. Those places work hard to keep themselves out of the news.

About 7 miles southwest of Benbrook is a little village of Wheatland, which is made up entirely of Tattoo parlors, sex shops, gas stations, and junk stores. There"s even a shooting range. All the sex shops have blacked out windows and yellow lights, the tell-tale sign of high quality service. One even has a giant armor knight standing guard out front.

This is where you can buy all your tawdry lingerie and naughty toy needs. They actually have some lovely tasteful stuff too. There"s also the "back room" but my friends and I have never been in THERE where supposedly a swing is set up for "display purposes." Along with more hard core adult toys and films. We"ve seen a few guys run back there and in about 10 mins. run back out. "nuff said

Area: Everywhere!    City: Albuquerque

We have our sex stores scattered liberally around the city, though it seems like most of them are on Central Avenue. That"s probably mainly because Central"s the main drag of our city. We have a TON of porn stores, though, and we"ve got at least 3 women-owned shops that try to be less creepy than the larger porn stores, with a friendlier, boutique environment. Sex-positive southwest ftw.

Sunday 08th of March 2009 1:28 am

Area: Everywhere with limits    City: NYC

When the city started cleaning up Times Square they started putting all sorts of limitations on where sex shops could be; they had to be a certain number of feet from the next one, from a school, or from residential homes. Many of the shops were grandfathered in, that"s why sometimes you"ll find them in the weirdest locations in the city.

New York

As far as I"ve noticed, the "adult" businesses seem to be scattered randomly about town. The only small grouping I know of is out near the airport, where there is a "bookstore" (probably a "magazine-and-video store", really) and a "massage parlor" in close proximity (for the needs of lonely traveling businessmen, no doubt).

Despite the image of Sweden as a very sexy open country, the sex shops are far and few between. I live in the sixth largest city and there"s only one. Unless you count the government run drug stores (Apotek) who consider marital aids a part of medication and well-being. Socialized healthcare and socialized love-making! Guess we are very sexy and open about it after all.

The best part about the sex shops / dance clubs near my town is the name...Toy Box (shudder) and Tropical Lei. The Tropical Lei has a marquee out front where they always put up bad sexual puns...like churches do, but you know, sexy. Every time I go by the cheeseball Tropical Lei, I want to go inside. But my friends who, on an ironic lark, went in said...it was just old, depressing, sad.

The only sex shop around (Sex shop, not Strip Club) is "The Lion"s Den" Between Abilene and... I think Clay Center. Its out in the middle of nowhere, and there are billboards on either side of it that say "Jesus heals, Pornography destroys". Well, it sure did destroy my napkin collection when I was a kid, but other than that, I turned out all right.

Thirty years ago what sex shop activity there was was mostly down Yonge St, but now they"re scattered all over town. From Lovecraft in the upscale Yorkville, to just down the street and around the corner from my less tony digs. Downtown, along Queen West, also has several that are more along the lines of "empowering, sex-positive boutiques" rather than the skeezier porn-focussed shops.

MVC (Manassas Video Club) is located in a strip mall just off of the interstate 66 and 234 business. they actually used to have several stores in the area, this one is the closest to where I live. I know that one of the other MVCs in Centerville just closed a few months ago - I guess the shitty economy has spilled over into how much porn is bought by consumers.
