   You can't get better in Buffalo than you can at any sleazy sex store with giant billboards along the interstate announcing "DVD/VHS, Fireworks, Knives" can be had at the same location.

   Maybe she is looking for something like what I saw in Philly, a store called "The Mood" - it was more like a boutique than an off-the-highway joint. I don't even know if we have any stores like that here.

   Wow - what a question! The Canadian dollar is now presenting itself to our area's sex shops instead of the outlet in Niagara Falls!
   
   I only know about that place on the corner of Hertel and Elmwood that has the blacked out windows. I think there is a similar store nearby next to M.Wile.
   
   Oh shit! It just dawned on me. Google time!
   
   Here is Artvoice's Best Of from previous times - there is a "Best Sex Shop" category for her to read.

   Is Second Skin still open? Last I knew that was on Allen near where Frank's used to be.
   
   You gotta love a place that doesn't have a name for a name, but an address with a name. Some of you pervs know what I'm talking about!

   Buffalo's sex stores are kind of skeevy - as far as I know there's nothing like eg Babeland around here. We always joke about the Porn District that runs along the industrial area of Elmwood between Hertel and Amherst, because that's got to be the only place zoned for it.
   
   I don't think there's anything illegal or suspicious about bringing sex toys into the country, so I'd actually probably recommend buying in Toronto and bringing with.

   hmmm....i don't think there are any quality sex shops left in buffalo, besides the run of the mill porn stores. second skin was the only good sex shop we had and that closed down a few years ago. hee hee, i had a lot of fun with a lot of the merchandise from that store at one point in my life. (paul, i bet you can guess when?)
   
   but, maybe there's someone who knows of others.

   Um, if Toronto has tons of shops why bother hunting for them in a town you can never find them in?

   Yeah... LC I'm not sure I want to know those details! There might be an odd story behind that one.

   The other day I briefly skimmed the quoted text and I totally misread "sex stores" as "sex stories", and I was puzzled why someone from a large, diverse city like Toronto was trying to collect sex stories from a smaller city like Buffalo when a bigger city like Toronto would surely have more interesting sex stories.

    Here is the thing see in Toronto you have sex stores that are well about sex and then they also have like a video for couples maybe but there are also just video and Magazine places. But in Buffalo that stuff is sold at the same places as the movies. The one sex shop I know of closed a long time. I bet Kimberly's Lingerie sells stuff other then just that. Pandoras box sounds like they are a sex shop and not a porno place but not sure. To be honest she is best to go to the mall. She can go to Spencers to find the Adult stuff in the back of the store and then go to a lingire shop. I wonder did anyone think to ask if she needs a guy to try the toys out on? HA. I wonder if she gets paid to come to Buffalo, HA again.
