Review from
Gerry, Nov 2011: A Good Shop
A good shop as per your reviews, and now with a new lady manager.
There's a good selection of DVDs, both at full price, and 3 for 30 pounds.
Review from Andy, Feb 2009: Friendly and Helpful
I have purchased a few items from this store and although it is a little small it is a pleasant shop to visit.
The goods are displayed in 2 different rooms, adult toys etc in the first room and DVD's mags etc in the second room.
All the staff I have encountered have been friendly and helpful.
Review from Gus, Sept 2008: Right at Ease
Just been to one simply pleasure store at Bondgate, Darlington, first time in a sex shop the
young female assistant was brilliant.
She made me feel right at ease and was very helpful and attended all my needs will defo go back there.
From Richard: Great Shop
This shop is not sleazy at all. The Sales
rep was very helpful and didn't make you feel uncomfortable. Great offers. All around great atmosphere, good bloke, great shop.
The previous owner of Bargain Pleasure is now asking for the repayment of the unjustified council licence fee. He cited that the hiked fee from 1500 to 4380 was a contributory factor to the
closure of the shop.
The owner said that he would put the repaid fee towards opening a new shop in Abbey Street.

Review from Ian, July 2014: Surprisingly big
Location
Very Easy to find right at the top end of Copley Road. There is no car park for this shop
but there is plenty of parking spaces on the street. There are actually two Sex Shops on this road. The private shop is located at bottom of street. So one could say they are in direct competition
Store
Was surprised just how big the shop was. Loads of products for sale
Sex Toys (Male & Female)
Clothing
Magazines

Very large amount of R18 DVD's for sale. Shop is well presented with DVD's. You're £ gonna have to be incredibly picky not to find a movie that suits you
DVD's start a discount price of £5 for older
DVD's and good offers on multiple buys
Staff
Male member of staff greeted me as I walked in and passed the time of day.
Also asked if I needed any help and if any questions
just ask him
Not pushy in anyway and just let customers browse. Felt like there was no pressure to buy
I Would recommend this store for anyone local to the area or worth a drive
Review from
Ian, August 2011: Looking Great
I found myself in Doncaster the other day in Copley road and found that the old Hot Planet sex shop located at number 35/37 was now called The Naughty Company.com.
I went inside and found a great stocked licensed sex shop. It had loads of R18 DVDs from £5 upwards and loads of offers on all films. Admittedly, the cheaper films were older titles but they also stocked all the latest titles at
£25 each, 3 for £50 or 7 for £100 all with half price exchange.
They also had loads of clothing and shoes at the lowest prices I have encountered. The adult toy selection was huge and all priced the same as on
their website.
Overall, I found the staff knowledgeable and non-pushy. The shop looks great and I will be going back again soon, only this time I'm taking the wife with me!

The shop has a great. chatty, well informed manageress. It is busy too,
a good sign.
Review from Ian, July 2014: Small and friendly
Location
This shop is easy to find. Its on left hand side at bottom of Copley Road. Never been to
Doncaster before but sat nav took me straight there.
Store
Compared to Naughty Company, further up the road, this shop is on the small side.
It offers sex toys, clothing,
magazines and R18 DVD's. The movies are in genre order but it's not really an extensive range. There's a mix of new and old movies.
They have offers for bulk buying movies and do a good returns policy with money off your next
purchase.
Staff
A female member of staff greeted me with a hello and asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I looked around the store without feeling pressured in anyway. She answered any
questions I had. Overall very friendly, her porn knowledge wasn't the best, but she was polite
I would have to say, if you're planning on visiting a Sex Shop in Doncaster, I would suggest you visit the Naughty Company, just for
the more choice element.

Donegal's only adult shop is set in a discreet area of town with great car parking. It offers all you need from an adult shop, including a great selection of DVDs and magazines.
There was a small selection of half price DVD going at 20 euros each with some stright titles too.
Most DVDs are priced 40-45
euros and there is a multi-buy offer of 4 for 3.
An upmarket store on an upmarket street.
From Basic Instincts July 2007: Adult Service
We have moved into the old part of Dublin called
Temple Bar right in the City centre. In a superbly restored early Georgian building we are located at 8, Eustace Street, Temple Bar.
Our shop is twice as large as our previous one and carry a superb range of ‘Fetish' gear from around the world.
We are 50/50 straight/gay clientele . We have a superb cinema and dvd cabins for personal entertainment in the basement. We can offer luxury apartment rental overhead with 4 suite apartments on offer along with private parking.
We at Basic Instincts provide a complete ‘Adult' service to everybody.
From the Mystery Shopper, February 2006: Quite impressed
It's a store with a big gay following but I found broad
appeal product too. In the back room were gay titles on one wall and straight DVDs on the other, mostly around 60 Euro.
I felt relaxed as I admired lots of strap-ons in leather with bright chrome. Bondage equipment made up one wall and there was a
bargain bin of discontinued lines.
Quite impressed.

From the Mystery Shopper, February 2006: First Class Window
This was my favourite find in Dublin, not
least thanks to a first class window display.
It's an exotic adult boutique style store which got bigger as I discovered room after room. The first was a fashion and fetishwear space. The next had bronze bunny-girls with toys and erotic books. The
next room with more clothes, medical goodies and glass dildos led to a piercing studio out back and a DVD room. The range of DVDs stretched from €35 to €80.
I'd like to give this shop 5 stars, but I just can't shake the memory of the rather weighty
pricing.
From Jad:
It has a large selection of bondage, fetish wear, toys, mags vids and dvds. It is a fun friendly shop with a less sterile and more open approach to sex shopping, no bell for entry no white walls! Stocks
many things most other Dublin sex shops lack and has a brilliant staff. It also has a piercing and tattoo parlour. I love this shop and definitely think it one of the best in Dublin.

News October 2013: Council zoning excludes sex shops
There were worries for the shop as Central Bedfordshire Council opened a public consultation on a nil policy on adult businesses. In the end the council adopted a morality
zone ban on table dancing clubs and sex cinemas but sex shops were excluded from zoning restrictions.
From Philip:
I don't know whether they're licensed or not.
They have a massive range of toys and all sorts of
lingerie and fetish wear. The proprietor is a very obliging lady, very unlike some of the 'dodgy geezer' types in other shops. The atmosphere of the shop is more like a boutique, is quite compact and on two floors. The ground floor has a back room
displaying magazines, though I saw no hardcore on display.
The DVDs and Videos are literally from 'under the counter'. They have both first and second-hand DVDs at either 50 or 45 each - expensive to say the least. But they do have a half-price
exchange policy which I've used without quibble. The selection was rather limited and it was difficult to browse properly when faced with a pile of titles unsorted in any way. So, the good point was the service and the range of clothes and toys, the bad
points are the prices and the display of the DVDs. I also found their web-site rather poor.
