As part of the sex industry, sex shops are regulated by law mostly the access of minors to sex-related merchandise. In some places, they are not allowed to ply their trade at all. With the advent of online commerce, the shops thrived mostly because consumers can go and patronize their products incognito.
Sex toys
The main merchandise of these shops is composed mainly of sex toys, gadgets and other devices all for the enjoyment of sex. These days, some shops label themselves to be in the business of adult entertainment.
Some shops have it all covered by carrying more specialized types of devices (including some big bulky ones) catered to aficionados of bondage or BSDM. These days, other shops including the big reputable ones are now catering to bondage enthusiasts as well.
Women’s merchandise
Ever since the shops had set up their businesses online, the top selling sex toys is the women’s vibrators. In terms of value, the sales figures even topped the whole aggregate value of all sex products, including those solely for use by men and those of others.
Vibrators, among all the other gadgets, are the most sought-after devices by women. Due to its popularity, one category of vibrators had spawned so many variations in forms, sizes, and use. The rabbit and the bunny vibrators are the current bestsellers even with the influx of more and more variations of the device and those of others.
It turns out that most users still buy the new models even if they already have two or three versions of the same vibrator gadget. The trend has not yet abated, or if they did, the number of users might have also increased.
The best-selling models have the dual function of penetrating the vagina (and stimulate the G-spot) while the other end works as a clitoral stimulator. It might have also helped that this type of vibrators has been mentioned in passing in some highly rated TV shows.
Aside from vibrators, the women’s dominance in the sales of sex toys may also have to do with their continued support of the good old dildos and the new single clitoral stimulators. (Both have almost countless model variations.) The pocket rocket and the screaming O plus the famous vibrating egg are still pulling them in. Some can be worn discreetly while doing other things.)
For men and others
Sex shops carry sex toys for men even if they are not as selling as much as those of the ladies. However, there are run-away bestsellers in the category all on their own. The most popular are the vibrating cock rings and the fleshlight, both ideal for solo sex. (Cock rings can be used with a partner.)
Respectable sales also come from peripheral goods like lubrications, oils, cologne, soaps and others.
As things are turning out, an adult shop is one big profitable enterprise.
