The best sex shop options in Los Angeles

Hot pink interiors and a dripping chandelier echo the loud-and-proud attitude of this wild adult boutique. Chi Chi LaRue's is named after the infamous drag icon, and—in order to live up to such a reputation—offers over 2,000 DVD titles, as well as a spattering of lube, toys, apparel, performance enhancers, smoking accessories and beyond. Browse all of the eponymous queen's own naughty brands while making conversation with her eccentric staff. Kitchy as it is, fun is one thing you're guaranteed to experience on Chi Chi's glittering watch.

Filthy, spacious and in-your-face are the primary qualities of this colorful emporium for all things kinky. Take a spin around the expansive retail space, filled with a mind-blowing collection of DVDs, toys, lingerie, lube—and lots and lots of tourists. Hustler highlights include Hitachi Magic Wand vibrators, bejeweled butt plugs, and fleshlights modeled after the lady business of your favorite ladies in the business. Refer to their Top 100 Porn Movies of the Week page to navigate their, ahem, massive selection.

Maybe this place is a little seedy, but when you've just finished a long plane ride and find yourself with a hankering to watch MILF Hunters Volume 15, where else are you gonna go? Conveniently located a mere five-minute drive from the airport, this "cozy" [read: questionable] adult shop offers a selection of DVDs, toys and costumes that are arguably less shabby than the decor. The store isn't exactly fancy, but it'll do just fine when you want to procure some erotica under the radar (and some landing jets).

Sprinkled all across our (apparently sex-crazed) metropolis, this X-rated chain allows you to pick up your much-needed masturbation dolls and strap-ons at any hour of the day, no matter what part of town. Romantix locations are in Hollywood, Glendale, Whittier, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Pasadena and beyond, but the North Hollywood locale stays open all night long, so that when you find yourself fresh out of Luna Beads at 4am, you've got somewhere to go. The shop's erotic wares range from everyday items like edible undies and lube to unmentionables such as vibrating cockrings, "ball gag training systems," pussy pumps (yep, that's a thing) and penis extensions. One observational lap around the store and you'll already find yourself in need of a shower.
