The Art Of Loving

New location that just opened up on Broadway which is more accessible than their other location for me. I came here to look at some BOB options for me (need an upgrade). There isn’t a lot in terms of selection, however, they do have is of quality. The customer service was really friendly. Bonus for $ 20 — $ 25 they do offer some seminars.

I’m a simple woman.
All I ask out of life is for a roof over my head, a decent scotch in the cupboard and a on-​hand supply of nude soft top stockings with a french heel and black backseam…
I am constantly on the hunt for this third life requirement, which means if i’m near a lingerie store or adults only shop, I will pop in to peruse their hosiery. And so, when I spotted this place across from the Elysian Room, I promptly jogged my caffeinated self over.
They did not have my stockings.
However, the lovely lady working behind the counter would not let it end there. Not only did she take down the product description but low and behold, a week or so later, informed me via Twitter that they had both found, and ordered, the stockings in.
… then they followed up a week later, when my space cadetism kicked in.
And I am STILL a boob, as i’ve not gone to pick them up.
So i’m writing this review in part, as a kick in the ass to finally go get them. But also because, customer service like this doesn’t happen often. I didn’t «pre-​order» them. I did say I would take a couple pairs but they asked for no deposit. That sort of trust is pretty darn special.
Beyond stocking love, this place stocks some good high end toys. If you’re a adult shop newbie, this is one of the least intimidating to dip your toes into. The only pass? I’d go elsewhere for lingerie. They have some cutesy role playing stuff but for day to day — there are better options in town. But if you want to go and receive some very honest opinions in a relaxing setting, give this place a go.
Service Ninjas — hands down.
FUN FACT: I was pleasantly surprised to see they host seminars throughout the month for both singles and couples. Some of which are female only. And free or exceptionally well priced.
NINJA HACK: Their stockings are seriously well priced. With the exception of Model Wear on Hastings, I haven’t seen a place stocking this stuff for less.
Dear Art of Loving — I will see you soon for stocking love — I promise!

If you are looking for a classy sex shop, this is the place for you. The staff are informative and helpful. I came with a friend for the first time and found the place to be inviting and relaxing. They also hold workshops here! Go to their website to find out what they offer.

Small store. Decent selection and pricing.
Location offers seminars and sessions on a variety of topics. Very couple and female friendly.
A-​OK :)

It’s a small store but I like the simple lay-​out and organised feel of it. It’s a quiet store but the staff are helpful when you need them. They always ask us if we need any help with anything.
The prices aren’t bad and it’s in my neighbourhood so it’s my go-​to store for bringing sexy back.

Came here to specifically get a certain vibe ‘the red zinger”
Walked in with my 2 girlfriends and it was dead silent.
Nobody was in the store-​no music nothing.
The girl who worked there did not say hi or greet us in any way.
Too busy online reading something.
Lucky we knew our way around and didn’t require any assistance.
I could not imagine how i would of felt if i was someone who had not ever been in a place like this– I probably would of turned around and walked right back out
Considering this is a more «upscale boutique» type sex store one would think that she would of greeted us and asked if we needed any help finding anything or if we had any questions. The customer service was nil.
Asked for the vibes, and for her to test them for us (which she did very unenthusiastically) and bought a pair of thigh highs. Paid and left
Womyn’s Wear on Commercial Drive is similar in product selection but with sales people who really go out of there way to help.
We all agreed that the atmosphere and customer service left MUCH to be desired.

Even though this place is pretty small, it caters to everyone. I was really impressed with the relaxed atmosphere and the friendly staff. If you look on their website they also do workshops so if you are down for something new, check one of them out, sometimes they’re free and sometimes there is a nominal cost.

What… You think I’m going to reveal all my secrets?
