Good sex shops in Austin, TX?

Bonus if they have an online store or at least site. Looking for something a la Toys in Babeland or Goodvibes, not those sketchy places that make you feel gross just walking by.

Get started at Dreamers. It's as un-sketchy as a sex shop can hope to be. Prices not great.

Definitely Forbidden Fruit.

I second Forbidden Fruit. Very uncreepy - a lot like Good Vibrations.

I haven't been to 356 Days/365 Ways, but one of the employees was a classmate of mine, & a very overtly sex-positive feminist. Presumably this speaks well of the place? It's also owned by radio sex advice show vixen Janina Valdez (scroll down to the 3rd paragraph).

My keychain is a heavy stainless steel carabiner from Forbidden Fruit's BDSM section, and my wife has four or five of their tshirts with the "angel" photo on their web site. It's a great shop.

I found the Adult Video Megaplexxx to be non-creepy and there was quite a large selection available. But there's not much of a website.

Thirds on Forbidden Fruit. I've been to several locations and never felt skeevy. The one downtown (is it still there?) felt sort of like a cute little boutique that just happened to sell dildoes and vibrators. I've heard good things about Dreamers as well, but haven't been there personally.
