We like this place....
Easily spotted from the street, in the middle of SoHo (literally SOuth of HOllywood Road - but actually, the shop is North of Hollywood Road, so more accurately it's in NoHo), compact, bright and well laid out. Who gives a fuck who sees you go in and out...? You'd have to be living under a rock of crystal meth not to have noticed the plethora of sex shops opening in Hong Kong (some of them Russian-owned, by the way).
Gone are the days when horny gay boys with racing heartbeats, would dive into a side alley in Tsim Sha Tsui and tolerate the disapproving, moralistic glares of a porn-selling, wrinkled, Oriental Granny or Grandpa, while nonchalantly attempting to pick up cock swag or gay porn or at least, a Playgirl mag.
And yes.....whilst in Wanta, you might bump into that fag you banged in the sauna, and whose boner and Andrew Christian underwear are peeking out above his shorts, or run into somebody from the office as you exit the shop. Grin and bear it. You have horny needs. This is another type of Performance Review.
The lone Chinese male staff, spoke excellent English, allowed us to browse without being annoying, explained how to use things and answered tons of questions without pushing for a sale. We were so impressed, we bought stuff.
The merchandise for the boys is good quality. They've got anal douches from the simple to the really fancy, condoms, lube, vibrating cockrings for homos and heteros, cockrings in different styles and materials, butt plugs in silicon and metal, vibrating butt plugs, dildos for boys that you can mount anywhere, the genuine Fleshlights with the wall mounted shower accessory that allows you to fuck it while getting hosed; smaller Fleshlights to put into your briefcase for quality time in the office toilet, anti-bacterial powder to sterilize and deodorize your masturbator sleeve, some S&M gear.
The shop is not cheap. Let's say that again: the shop is NOT cheap. They'll take VISA, Mastercard, UnionPay and EPS (but not AMEX).
They've got another shop in Causeway Bay which we'll review later. Their website allows online ordering. It's clear, simple, easy to navigate.
The silicon toys all proudly proclaim they are phthalate-free. Good. That's fine.
We like this shop and so should you.
Our gripe - and we maintain it's a major gay consumer issue - is that the choice of lubes, whether silicone or water-based, all contain parabens and methylparabens, which are known carcinogens. Read the fuckin' label.
We're baffled why faggots don't agitate and boycott lube manufacturers to produce much safer gay lubes and demand to know what lube saunas are offering. (But when the fag is drugged on crystal, crack, weed, cigarettes, drink, poppers, Facebook, Tetris and Grindr......whatcha gonna do...??)
This stuff is being smeared on your cock and into your ass for chrissakes. And remember, in the gay saunas in Hong Kong, there's no indication of what's in the lube. Either the lube is from a wall-mounted dispenser in a private playroom, or it's in a nondescript packet.
