The sign outside—red lips attached to a large apple—beckons one to enter the store filled with seemingly “forbidden fruit.” “We have anything to create a fantasy evening,” says Lynn Lehman, manager of Lovecraft at 63 Yorkville Avenue.
Lovecraft has everything—lingerie, toys, books, games, edible novelties—”anything to create a mood or enhance people’s sex lives,” says Lehman.
The store’s lingerie section is a sea of lace and satin teddies, bras, panties, fishnet and bodysuits in an assortment of alluring colours. “Red lingerie is a hot seller at Valentine’s,” says Lehman. Lingerie for men is limited to a wall decorated with different styles of T-bar underwear. The most daring pair is made of leather with studs.
After one has acquired something sexy to slip into, Lovecraft offers something sweet to tantalize the taste buds. Edible massage lotions, creams, body butter and underwear can be had for under $10. Emotion Lotion, once massaged on the body, creates a warming sensation when it comes into contact with something cool. It comes in such fruity flavours as peach, strawberry, cherry, blueberry and orange. “Passion fruit is the most popular,” says Lehman.
Edible Undies are a popular item around Valentine’s Day. At $6.98 these sinful undergarments come in pink champagne and strawberry chocolate flavours.
A little something playing on the stereo can intensify a mood, especially if it’s the cassette tape, “Cyberorgasm.”
“It’s erotic voyeurism,” says Lehman. “You can listen to people making love.”
And instead of reading conventional poetry, pick up the Pocket Sex Guide for $12,95. “It’s our most popular seller,” says Lehman. “We can’t keep it in stock.” It could make for interesting reading as the strains of Cyberorgasm can be heard playing in the background.
And finally, for women without a date, there is The Realistic Cock vibrator, which is moulded directly from an erect penis. Just think, it does the same job as a man, and no conversation is required.
So for those not afraid to be sinfully wild, happy humping!
