Amazing shop! We were drawn in because of a "Bitches against Bullshit" tank top. We didn't realize it was an adult store until we were already inside. You enter surrounded by loungewear. Then they have some great gifts for people with open minds. From candles with curse words to big dick manifestations. There are also books, games, cards, and other trinkets. Then you get further into the shop for a large collection of toys. What really set this shop apart from any other that I've visited was the customer service. It wasn't pushy, it wasn't uncomfortable. It was a great way to ask questions and learn more about the differences between different products I had only ever seen online. It wasn't the experience I planned to have on a beautiful afternoon exploring Venture- but I'm glad I stumbled upon this shop! They have online classes on a variety of sexual health/wellness topics too! read more

I went to Trystology for the first time today. The salesperson, Reece, was really great in helping me assess what kind of products would be good for a "newbie" like me, and offered suggestions for what I might consider down the road. I was really pleased by the experience and by my selections! read more

If you haven't visited this wonderful boutique, you are missing out. You are greeted the moment you walk in and are assisted throughout your visit. They have a wide variety of items to choose from, everything from warm and cozy to very sexy. read more

I absolutely love this place and have been going for years. The staff is always more than helpful, respectful and courteous. As a male, it's not always easy to have personal conversations but I can ask them anything and talk to them about anything and I never feel uncomfortable, awkward or embarrassed. I don't get that everywhere. So thank you to everyone there for making me feel comfortable and at home. I appreciate you all read more

I was in the area for a concert and took a stroll down the shops to digest dinner before going to the Majestic and came across this wonderful woman owned and run store full of goodies. I like the layout. It starts off with beautifully soft pjs and hilarious candles which make perfect gifts, next is the lingerie embellished with pearls and diamante, then you get to the racier part at the back with toys and tassels ;) They even have a hidden door for the dedicated couple who want to try something spanking new. I wish I could have bought some of the pjs and candles but I didn't want to take them into a concert and I didn't have enough room in my suitcase to take them home to Maui. If you are in the area you should definitely take a look at the goodies. read more

Super nice ladies here. Available to discreetly answer all questions and pair you with your needs. Love my perfume as well

I really enjoyed this place when I first moved to Ventura and would come here for pajamas because the styles were so cute and super soft materials. However, the inventory has become somewhat stale, less of it, and the shop just looks messy now. It doesn't have a good flow to where things are located and design as it did before. It really needs rehaul. I am very sorry to write this as I completely support the woman owned business, her intent, and the items. I just think that it needs a fresh look at the inventory and flow of the store now. read more

This place is magic. Gorgeous and elegant. And amazing staff to help find the perfect items

Very disappointed to say the least. I have shopped here many times in the past and spent quite a bit of money: therefore, this experience has left me flat out angry. I cruised around the store, saw what I wanted. It was busy and due to Covid, I wanted in and out. I collect lingerie so I know all intimate wear shops have their policies so I always ask what their return policy is. I was told 30 days. I left for a work trip and came back, tried on the bra I purchased... literally had it on for 30 seconds over a cami. It fit very poorly as did the thigh highs I bought. I went in today to return it as it was very pricey and I felt it should have felt better and the material less irritating for the price point. Lady behind the counter is nice but is obviously new, has to get the owner on the phone to ask about my return. Owner says no to my return due to the "nature of the garment". WHAT?! Umm, no. Panties, I understand... but a bra?!! I truly believe she does not want people returning anything because of the price. Oh, it gets worse. I speak to the owner over the phone (who I have spoke with in person before and she has always been nice). I explained the situation and she says "we don't have that return policy, no one would ever tell you that." So, she's basically calling me a liar. I was truly offended. If your employee has to call you to figure out how to return something, what makes you think that the wrong info isn't being given to the customer?! There's more. I am noticing on the box of the bra that there is no price. On my email receipt, no itemization. There is NO price for anything I bought, only a sub total. I only handed over my credit card when I purchased and didn't question the total. Big mistake on my part. I tell the clerk I want to see something in writing as to their policy, a receipt... something! Anything! She tells me "sorry, I can't help you." I left here feeling as if they didn't care at all and were just being greedy regarding the situation. I still have no idea what I paid for and am left with no answers as to their return policy since I was given the wrong information from the start. I hate to say anything bad about small business but when your ego is bigger than your love for customers, people should know about it. I will be contacting the BBB and my credit card company instead. I'm sure they will be more helpful. Be careful to look at tags here and ask for prices. Obviously once you've paid, you're useless to them. Edited to respond to store owner: thank you for attempting to deflect the blame onto me. You still did not address the hidden price tag nor why I was not allowed to have a itemized receipt while in store. Valerie may have taken packages out for me to see but that does not ensure fit. If I am allowed to try the bra on in store, there's no difference about your Covid nor sanitation concerns. Greed is the consistent piece here. Truly maddening. read more

Trystology - No itemization of charges. This was for a bra and two pairs of thigh highs! Zero return policy it turns out!!! Buyer beware!!! - Lingerie Near Me - Ventura, California

The first time I ever entered this cute little shop was the night of my daughter's 33rd birthday. We were having dinner next door for her birthday and I passed by Trystology. I then remembered how my daughter had always raved about this little shop, so I decided to step inside and sneak one last little birthday present for her. A gift card to Trystology! I was immediately greeted by a very lovely young lady named Valerie who was such a joy to interact with, and she welcomed me and was delighted that I stopped in. I ended up buying a $75 gift card to add to my daughter's gifts, of which she had many, including many gift cards. I snapped a really cute photo inside of the shop to post to Yelp, and asked for Valerie's name. I always Yelp! The places that have the BEST customer service. Sometimes I also Yelp! The places with the worst. Trystology is up on the top for customer service, and great gift's and beautiful, high quality lingerie. This place is a MUST for any man out there who has a lady who you are looking to purchase sexy gifts for. And, obviously also a great shop for a mom like me to buy gift cards for my very girly adult daughter. Also they wrapped the gift card up into a little cute box and put that into a little cute bag with fancy red paper stuffing and a beautiful silky red bow! So much beautiful in one little spot. Thank you Valerie for all of your help and for helping us make my daughter Angelina's birthday extra special! The way you gift wrapped the gift-card made it all the more special! Thank you so very much! read more

Wife and I have been to this story a few time. Service is always top notch, friendly, well informed and willing to share their insights. Highly recommended. read more

My new favorite place to get adult toys . They staff is friendly and helpful in finding what you need. I made my purchase online which they did not have the exact item but was able to find something compatible The set up is perfect if you just want to pop in for lounge wear as well. They have lotions, potions, books, and novelty items. If you want to feel comfortable and discreet, this is the place to be. read more

I really liked the store. My friend and I were a bit nervous about coming in, but Roylin was super nice and knowledgeable about everything she sold in store. You could tell she was very passionate about what she does, and was very instructive about helping us find what she felt would work best for us. I didn't feel pushed to buy anything right on the spot, which is probably my biggest pet peeve when shopping. As a matter of fact, we left empty handed, but retuned 2 days later. We were helped by another lady, who was nice, but just wasn't as knowledgeable. Because of the lockdown, they were only opening for customers by appointment. It was really nice having like a personal shopping type of experience, and her prices are really good compared to another shop nearby. I was disappointed to know I bought a product at the other store for almost 2x the price at trystology. But oh well. Lesson learned. Will definitely be back, and I've already recommended the shop to my friends! If you're shy about this sort of thing, I'd recommend taking a visit. I found it very educational. read more

Jill was the bestt. Best customer service ever! Also bought this adorable robe. Makes me feel extra. read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this store completely by accident an we're so happy we did! The store opened in February of this year. Due to local regulation (i.e. conservative prudes) the store is said to be "by appointment" for now. Just call the store and see what time someone will be in. This store has a great selection of high-end and high quality toys for women, men, and couples. They only have the best--things that are designed to and known to "get the job done" and not just "novelty." Some prices may seem high, but if you look online for the same products (Lelo toys, for example), her prices are usually lower and you can see/touch everything out of the package so you really know what you are getting. They also carry books, some "kinky items", and these great massage candles in a variety of scents. The owner was amazingly helpful, kind, and patient. She knows her stuff and really makes you feel "at home" in her store. You don't have to be shy talking to her about what you are there for and if you are shy about being seen there, you can arrange a private consultation. She also does private parties--like a "naughty" tupperware party--that are educational beyond simple product knowledge. The store is definitely worth checking out, if only to visit with the owner! She'll be having classes and seminars soon on topics ranging from "Sex After 60" to G-Spot Education, and maybe even Rope Bondage/Shibari classes! P.S.: The owner of the store's Grandma wrote a book at the age of 93 called "Shut Up and Live, You Know How": http://www.amazon.com/Shut-Live-You-Know-How/dp/1583332928 This book has a chapter on sex and points to a study that shows that people who have more orgasms live longer. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they say. How cool to be raised by women who are so self-aware and comfortable with their bodies. Its unfortunate that so many women are raised to feel shameful and never learn all that is to be enjoyed.... read more

Amazing!! This is the mature, luxury shop I have been looking for. Everything is of the highest quality and the staff is amazing and highly knowledgeable. I would def recommend Trystology. Shy?? No worries! They have a fantastic website!! read more

The staff are great, and the shop offers quite a selection. Trystilogy also holds classes on various topics of adult interests. You will have to do a little hunting to find them, as their entrance is off the alley, rather than the Main Street. However this provides a very nice intimate atmosphere to do some shopping for those extra special "personal" items. :) read more

My all time favorite boutique. Trystology has a nice range of candles along with sexy and comfortable lingerie. The latest line being sold is The Tea Spot teas. Customers can try a cup while shopping. Nice touch. read more

Roylin is a goddess. She hosted my women's group last night in honor of International Women's Day. We had members there from their mid forties into their seventies. She was able to speak to each of us about our own personal desires, wants and needs and educate us all in the devine art of love. Her store has beautifully designed functional toys and accoutrements to enhance your boudoir (and every other part of your life). For men, women, couples, whatever your genre may be, you will find it with an explanation, a smile and most importantly, with discretion at Trystology. Thank you Roylin, shine your light, you are a gem! read more

Wife and I found this place while strolling along Main Street. It's tucked amongst the "interesting" stores that sell random nick nacks and such. Anyway, we walked in and were warmly greeted and welcomed. While I can't recall her name she was awesome. She showed us the wide variety of products some of which seemed cool as hell! The store is defiantly focused on the woman. There are more toys focused on the g-spot than you can shake a stick at. :) This place is NOT you gross creepy porn store. It's very nice, classy and inviting and the sales lady will answer all your questions..even the "where does this go" ones. :) read more

5 star experience. The power happened to be out when I came to the store, but Valerie stood with me in the dark with her flashlight and literally gave me an encyclopedia run down of every product I was curious about. This review really is for her. She was knowledgeable, approachable and fun!! It's so nice to have a shopping experience where the staff is engaging and truly interested in their products. I thought she was the owner of the store! She said she was not, but still loved the store like it was her own. she was great. I can't wait to come back and see the store with the lights on! Thanks Val read more

So, don't judge me for going to a sex store, it is a natural thing. :) My girlfriend and I went in while just walking on Main street in Ventura. It is a cool little shop upstairs above a boutique clothing shop. They have toys for her, toys for you, toys to share, books, and oils/lotions. From my experience, it is a little pricey. Consider it a boutique for these types of items. So like a boutique clothing store is expensive compared to your department store, this is expensive compared to other sex stores of internet shops or what have you. We were the only two customers and the young women working there would not leave us alone. She kept showing us everything and explaining the deep intrusive details of how to use each toy. For a serious shopper, this is probably a good thing, but for the causal curious shopper it is a little intense and annoying. So if you just want to just look around for fun, I recommend going somewhere else. read more

The owner is wonderful and informative. High quality products!! The experience as a whole was welcoming and I will most certainly be coming back for more stuff!! read more

Loved the private intimate feel of this place. Not your average adult novelty store. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about all products. I didn't feel pressured to by anything and was even suggested to bring in my husband so he could help with the deciding factor on what to buy. Some of the items are pricey but they do sell high end toys. Will def be back. read more

Zero greeting to me when I entered. I work near by and have been wanting to go into the store for quite some time because of the items I've seen in the window. I finally go in and neither one of the ladies greeted me or asked if I needed any help (they have a bell that lets them know somebody has entered). I looked around for a minute or two and left because I was disappointed nobody looked my way. Glad to see everybody else had great customer service because it wasn't offered my way. read more

Best lingerie store in Ventura county! Owner is so wonderful, has excellent taste, good prices & selection, great customer service, I always leave with exactly what I want even if I go in not knowing what I'm looking for. My favorite little shop in downtown Ventura it's tucked back in a cute little nook off of Main Street. I appreciate this shop because it makes buying lingerie/toys a fun experience. Definitely check this place out!!! read more

Well.......... With well over gas money in my pocket I returned to find something special. I entered, was greeted and well that was it. Oh yeah, got close to the door and got a thanks for coming in. Ok, it was the day before Thanksgiving in the afternoon. Enough said, this shop missed sizable sale. read more

What a fantastic staff. I went in with some questions and a little anxiousness and Valerie shined. This employee treated this business as if it was her own she was helpful she was happy she was supportive and treated me like I was her friend! read more

Addicted to this little gem of a shop in Ventura. Always find very feminine styles here that are flattering for any figure. Nice selection of playful toys in an environment that won't creep you out. Great place to bring friends too. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Tasteful decor and wonderfully friendly owner. If you are looking for something for you and your significant (or just for yourself) I would highly recommend Kama Sutra Closet. read more

I love this place owner Roylin knows just how to make you feel comfortable in a very soothing atmosphere. Also stopped by her lingerie store next door and was also very impressed. I will be coming here and taking advantage of her wonderful website as well. read more

A great place to explore with the one you love. Don't be shy now. And they have just added lingerie to the mix. What fun.

Extremely comfortable and knowledgeable service... Its a sexy, sophisticated adult store in a welcoming environment...loved it!

This place was awesome. The owner is the person who helped me and showed me around her sales floor. It was a very personal experience and she made me feel right at home. This place is such a step up from most sex shops. Very elegant and discreet. Would recommend to everyone. read more

My book club recently read Fifty Shades of Grey, and we decided to host the meeting here since they do Fifty Shades of Play book discussions. The entire event was SO informative. The owner did an amazing job at explaining everything used in the book and more. It's a really fun place to host a naughty girl or bachelorette party. It was free to host, just as long as people shop her selection of merchandise. Some of it is pricey but it's extremely high end and almost everyone left with something. I would definitely shop here and host another party again. read more

My boyfriend and I came here because we were searching for a high-quality place that did not feel sleazy. The person who showed us around made us feel super comfortable (my boyfriend and I are pretty new to the game). It was totally empowering to be able to talk about sexuality like that, and so beyond the amazing product I bought, it was also just a great experience read more

Found out about this place because there was a class on Tantra fitness opening the kundalini. Michelle showed me around and her assistant Jessica. They were very knowledgable about the different products and were able to explain what to expect from using the item you were looking at. I initially was only going for the class and to purchase one small item to use during massage, but I left with more items than anticipated. The Kama Sutra Closet is a great little shop in downtown Ventura, well worth my drive from the Inland Empire. The class by Andi Epstein was really great! read more

This place is classy. Most stores like this make you feel a little uncomfortable with all the revealing packaging and with the creepy people at the front. The lady that owns this place is extremely nice and welcoming, makes you feel right at home. High class products, high class store. read more

Met Roylin when she gave my ladies group a wonderful presentation which opened my eyes to the new possibilities and options to transform my personal experiences. Things have happily changed and this is a wonderful example of how far we've come! With a significant other, we recently had a private consultation and are more excited than ever about our relationship behind closed doors. She has a wide range of price points, meeting the needs for a large variety of tastes. It's a classy tasteful educational venue, and a far cry from similar places that don't explain anything, barely speak to you and carry oversized and somewhat demeaning products and packaging with no directions. I highly recommend this business and encourage you to check it out for yourself; you'll be very glad you did! read more
