FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Not Aphrodisia! Some stores can feel unwelcoming, especially ones that sell porn or other products that commodify or objectify certain types of bodies. If you've been in a sex shop that felt unwelcoming, unsafe or just plain creepy, you'll know what we mean.
We want our customers to feel good when they visit our store, so we work hard to create a safe, welcoming and fun atmosphere for everyone - whether you're a sex toy newbie or an experienced pervert.
Our culture has a history of treating sex as taboo and shameful, and many people internalize this shame. Not being able to talk frankly and honestly about sex has a range of negative consequences:
Harder for people to access the education and resources needed to have sex safely, leading to increased risk of STIs, unwanted pregnancies and injuries
Makes people feel alone or like there is something wrong with them, even when their experiences and desires are actually pretty common or harmless
People don’t know how to ask for what they want or communicate their sexual boundaries effectively, leading to worse sex and sometimes traumatic sex
People may not explore to figure out what they like sexually, meaning they are missing out on a lot of pleasure
Harder to challenge gender and sexual stereotypes, which can reinforce harmful existing gender dynamics
At Aphrodisia, we believe that for most people, sex is an intrinsic and vital part of the human experience. We also know that everyone will learn about sex eventually, so we’d rather they learned correct, useful, non-stigmatizing information that empowers them to take control of their sexual health and wellness. Since we don’t believe that sex is any more shameful than eating or breathing, we talk about sex frankly, directly, and without euphemisms. Whatever questions our customers ask, we don’t shame them for their curiosity or desires.
