Cupid’s Treasures
In order to qualify as the Best Sex Shop in Chicago, a store must offer something to make everyone blush. Serving the GLBT community as well as heteros and all of the multitudinous others who lack acronyms, Cupid’s Treasures is filled with an overwhelming array of adult toys, videos, clothing and novelty items. Modest prices for immodest fun allow those with a tight budget to loosen up and experiment with something new. Delivering on their promise to launch us “into the future of pleasure” this trove of exotica also features unusual products such as “The Aliens are Cumming Area 51 Love Doll” with “three out-of-this-world holes” alongside the tragically solipsistic “Make Your Own Dildo” kit that produces an exact replica of your own penis. (“Just add water!”) Whether the future of pleasure lies far outside our own galaxy or deep inside our own pants, the Cupid’s Treasures staff members understand that sex is both serious (see the Spike Punisher: a 12.5” long and 2.25” thick wildly intimidating dildo) and playful (enjoy a selection of bachelor and bachelorette party favors that even your stepmother-in-law would find amusing). With hours to accommodate anyone’s schedule (8am-5am Thursday-Saturday, 10am-midnight Sunday-Wednesday) and a vastly diverse and affordable selection to accommodate everyone’s kinks, Cupid’s Treasures is a Chicago pleasure.
