Review from ETO's Mystery Shopper, March 2018: Good atmpsphere Lack of competition can bring out the worst in a shop but that is not the case here. R18s are mostly £30 but there are deals 2 for £45, 4 for £75, 6 for
£100...
From the shop, December 2005: Kinky uniforms We now stock a large range of lingerie and kinky uniforms by Wild Designs as well as a large range of leather/bondage wear made exclusively
for our stores. We also now stock Honour / Skin Too Rubber etc as well as designer Toys such as the Electrastim etc. We actually stock about 2000 DVD's and 750 Video's in each store, we will endeavour however to get any R18 DVD for
any customer and we do stock from every available distributor / wholesaler in the UK. We get approximately 50 New Release films every week. We also specialise in our range of magazines and 2000 or so toys, lubes, creams etc and likewise will endeavour to
get any item a customer may want. We don't however stock a great amount of lingerie or novelties.
All our DVD's are £25-£30 and videos are £20-£25 with discounts available for multiple buys. We exchange DVDs for £10
within 7 days of purchase or £15 thereafter. We have weekly special offers and all out staff are trained and knowledgeable with regards to our products. We pride ourselves on being clean, brightly lit and "female" friendly and also carry
a large range of gay DVDs. We also have a film club whereby we give a free DVD to regular customers who have purchased 5 DVD's, this doesn't require any personal information, simply a password specific to that individual customer.
This is a loyalty club. we do after all appreciate and reward our regular customers as many would testify.
From Mike: Huge range of toys Secret Desires specialises in R18 films, hardcore mags and
a huge range of toys. They stock over 1000 DVDs and the staff are ok, a very female friendly shop. They also have another slightly larger branch at Hastings with the same name.

From ETO's Mystery Shopper, July 2019: Mostly great Mostly great but a mixed bag.
From ETO's Mystery Shopper, May 2012: Perfectly decent DVDs are
£ 30 with many at 2 for £ 30 and others at 3 for £ 30. A perfectly decent but rather lacklustre shop.
From the Edinburgh Evening News Sells videos and DVDs for
between £30 and £40, and has a limited number of sex toys for sale. Most of the movies are male-female and lesbian films featuring group sex, and there are a few more explicit films. Some feature fetish sex and pregnant women having sex.

Review
from David, August 2008: Comfortable and Relaxed Decent range of DVDs and mags, with some outfits and toys, too. DVDs appear to be priced at £35 each, with some special offers. Trade in and rental service,
too. Friendly staff when I last visited, and you feel comfortable and relaxed as you browse.
From the Edinburgh Evening News The outlet sells a

News, October 2019: Window dressing At its annual licence renewal Simply Pleasure has asked the council if it can restore window displays featuring mannequins and clothing. The council currently bans these.
Review from ETO's Mystery Shopper, September 2016: Lovely A thoroughly lovely shop with two floors of interesting lines. Lots of R18 DVDs typically £ 30 with a 3 for 2 multi-buy offer. There is a 3 for 1 offer on
clearance DVDs
Thanks to Richard, December 2005: The biggest and brightest Simply Pleasure is probably the biggest and brightest sex-shop in the south-west. The staff are
courteous and helpful and never do that irritating - hovering behind you "are you looking for anything in particular, sir" - routine. It's a nice shop.
They don't stock many porn mags because at the other end of town is the excellent
"Read&Return" bookshop which has a really big porn mag section at the back of the shop -buy new or used.
For hardcore dvd's though, Simply Pleasure is well stocked. Prices as I recall are £45 each or £60 for 2 ( not sure
tho) which is a lot, but you can return a dvd (with receipt!) to get a 50% credit on another one. It's the sex-toys that are the main feature of the shop - prices are high (as is always the case if you don't buy mail-order), but they make a point of
trying to stock good quality sex-toys that really work ( ask them about the new high tech multi- feature vibrators!). Top marks also for being female/couples friendly.
The shop is difficult to find if you don't know your way around Exeter so take
a street map (don't say I didn't warn you!) but there is a small pay-parking zone just outside the shop which is very convenient. One last thing - you might want to take your own bag if you are a little self-concious. They may have changed plastic bag
designs by now, but the old "love-shack" branded plastic bags were anything but discreet!
