Every day millions of motorists pass the sex shop that is located near a station. Lingerie, handcuffs, and other synthetic body parts are all for sale on one of England's most crowded roads. But who's inside?
Also known as stores for adults or erotic shops, sex shops offer pornography, lingerie, and other sexually explicit toys. These stores sell lingerie, pornography as well as other sexually-oriented toys. The majority of licensed sex shops have blacked-out windows in order to comply with the Indecent Displays Act.
Ann Summers
Ann Summers has become a household name in adult rabbit toy stores. But it wasn't always that way. In fact when the brand first came out, it shook many people, especially a British consumer. After all, sex shops weren't meant to be on the high-street. But with a bit of creativity and tenacity, the company was able to carve out a niche for itself.
Ann Summers' approach to sexual activity is the secret to its success. The company offers a range of lingerie, costumes, and lotions to help women attain their sexual peak. The brand even has a series that encourage women to play around with new experiences. The company is dedicated to helping women discover pleasure and is among the few companies in its industry that focuses on female sexual wellness.
Another reason for the company's success is the Party Plan, which was introduced in the year 1981. The parties were similar to Tupperware parties and were created as a marketing tool for the brand. They also allowed them to bypass the laws that prohibit the display of sexually explicit toys. Today, it's difficult to find an British woman who hasn't heard of the Ann Summers Party.
In 2022, the company owns 86 stores on the high street and an online presence that covers the globe. The brand is synonymous with female empowerment and is a reliable authority on sexy lacing and satin.
Prowler
A top gay-friendly high-street brand that has been around since 1997, Prowler has grown from its beginnings as a publisher house to becoming one of the largest gay run business in Europe.
