If the phrase “sex shop” brings to mind those creepy, darkened dens filled with gross-looking phalluses and leering old men – you know, the kind at Lucky Plaza or Bugis Street – well, it’s time for an update.

These days, there are actually sex shops that are clean, brightly lit, with professional staff.  More importantly, they sell reputable sex toy brands like Tenga and Lelo – not no-brand vibrators made of industrial waste and exploding battery.
