I generally travel with everything I need - toys included!
However, I brought a rechargeable toy with me on a long trip - but not the charger. Since there was no way I could survive several weeks without it, I decided I had to buy a new one. A quick search and I discovered Club X.
At the very busy intersection of Swanston and Little Bourke, there's a slightly seedy looking neon sign. Look around surreptitiously; step inside!
There appears to be something downstairs - I needed retail, so I didn't go down there - only up. I assume it's rooms for watching films though.
Upstairs the shop is pretty much like any other regular toy store... they have a really good selection across all interests, but more breadth than depth. That is, they have a lot of things, but only 1-2 of a lot of things. Maybe 3-4. A lot of items appeared to be sold out.
I got suddenly shy when I was trying to shop around an older gentleman. But then I heard, "I assume you're looking for clitoral?"
Turned around, and the shop assistant (looked young and bookish, so I hadn't engaged when I walked in to save him the embarrassment) was talking to me. "Uh, yeah."
Caleb (shop assistant) came to life with the opportunity to help. I told him what I liked, what I was looking for, what I usually bought, and my constraints (primarily, nothing that plugs in because I can't take that home!). He pulled a few items for me and let me feel all of them. He was really knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and definitely made me feel at ease during my shopping.
I made my selection and then was on my way back home.
I noticed when I got home, the receipt says City Central Books - Swanston Street at the top. That made me chuckle. Also there are 2 reviews that have been filtered, and they both mention a discreet side entrance. Thank you guys!
Definitely recommend this place if you're on the market for anything in the "adult toy" world, and I do hope you're lucky and get Caleb like I did! read more
