Hello! Today I want to talk about safe spaces. Imagine a few places where you feel totally comfortable being yourself. Somewhere there’s no judgment, no worries, a place where you can really explore. Then, ask yourself, is pleasure a component that draws you to this place?
If you answered yes to that question, you’re much like many of us. And, like everyone, you should be free to explore pleasure in safe spaces. So what might a safe space look like? Well, let me introduce you to As You Like it, the ultimate adult store specializing in sex toys, sex education, sexual health, and gender-affirming merchandise.
About the store
As You Like It is locally owned by Kim Marks, who founded the business in 2012. It started as an online shop before its Eugene storefront opened in 2014. The store is an LGBTQ+ friendly, woman-owned, and Green America Certified Business, meaning it is committed to using environmentally friendlier products to carry whenever possible. Read more.
What’s so great about it?
As You Like It caters to its customers’ needs. It offers many resources for activism, mental health, and sexual health with books and pamphlets. If you are interested in taking a private look at the store’s gender-affirming products or anything else, As You Like It offers private shopping sessions for 50 dollars. Additionally, the employees undergo educational training to be deeply knowledgeable about the products available to you. It has changing rooms, toy demos, and more. The store is very popular among Eugene residents, and its Instagram account already has over 5k followers. Please take a look at some of the fun products we can see on its Twitter page.
