  This is the type of establishment you want to feel comfortable in. You want to not feel embarassed or ashamed for what you are looking at, buying, walking out with or walking in hoping to find. Societally we have been so conditioned to feel that way that places like this carry a heavy burden to overcome... HOWever that is a challenge lovely places like Fantasy try so very hard to combat every single day. The people who work there: To the employees yes it's just work and they do it day in and day out, but they are professionally trained staff with sex positive attitudes and the information to find you what you are looking for while being humble enough to ask for help if what you need is not in their knowledge base. Fantasy does something a lot of adult stores fail to do, and that is hire a diverse group of people with different skill sets, knowledge bases, genders, sexual orientations and backgrounds so that you the customer can find someone to work with that you are comfortable with. Now mind you, they can't always nail this match but they try to in all that they do. How it's different: It's not the Mac Store of adult shops but it's also not trying to be. There is a place and time for that kind of suburban comfort of polish and plastic in your toys and consumables shopping experience for sure. But Fantasy is aimed at the general public, people who need less of a consumerism driven store front and more of a selection, knowledge, diversity and really gets into any and all fetish gear while still offering the perfectly pleasant vanilla toys and lube. Offering things others don't: Even the arcade booths offered at some locations, while certainly not all clientele's cup of tea is done thoughtfully and designed for private or non private experience. They are cleaned regularly, updated content often and when things go down they fix them quickly thanks to a staff that cares and knows how each and every location is different and has it's own needs. The general wrap up: Now mind you they are trying to offer a wide array of price points and products. It is a no returns policy type of store and for good reason, would you want a dildo you knew had been to someone's home but the "swore" they hadn't used it? NO! You wouldn't! So appreciate the protection they try to offer and accept it's limitations. The biggest gripe I hear is folks feeling they paid to much for a product that didn't end up working out for them. That's the way this industry works, you can't know how something is going to work for you until you try it and you can't try it until you buy it and take it home. SO, utilize their amazing staff and try to get as much info to make an educated decision about your purchase, it's invaluable to have real people telling you their experiences or what other clients have said about this or that product in person. Don't be shy, this place is literally made for you to ask and be helped out! Support one of Portland's oldest and most amazing small store local chains and shop for your Fantasy!

  The staff is so knowledgeable and they don't make you feel uncomfortable. They don't give you "box info," they really know how things work. Hubby and I went there last night and bought an item to spice things up. The staff showed us everything we wanted and how it worked. We ended up going back a few hours later and buying more products. Some of the items are pretty spendy. We spent $220 on one item but I have to tell you... It was well worth it! I'd visit again.
