We encourage sexual exploration rooted in the values of consent, curiosity, tolerance, acceptance and compassion.

At SHAG, your safety and satisfaction are our primary concerns. Accordingly, we choose brands we feel are conscientious, with the following specific priorities. SHAG products are body-safe; and if we carry a product, it’s because we are confident that you can use it safely and without harm to you or others, assuming it’s used properly, according to instructions. The products are made from quality, ethically sourced materials. It’s important to us that we carry brands that create their products using the highest quality materials and ingredients, using methods that are responsible and ethical.  We support local manufacturers and designers. We are proud to support local businesses and makers. Whenever possible, we carry brands that are located in Brooklyn and other parts of the New York City metropolitan region.

EST 2009 | BROOKLYN, NY

Co-Founders, Sam & Ash were inspired to create a sex shop that doesn't feel weird or shameful; a place where everyone can feel at home, no matter who they were or where they come from. A place free from judgment - an open, accessible environment that welcomes everyone with a warm embrace and a high-five. And where S-E-X is everything but a three-letter word.

Since 2009, we’ve been keeping Brooklyn sexy at our one-of-a-kind boutique in Williamsburg, nestled discreetly at the crossroads of sex and art. At SHAG, you can find everything from vibrators to lingerie, candles to cuffs, and books to butt toys — a carefully chosen selection of high quality, functional, affordable and body-safe products. We also feature a variety of sexy accessories by local designers and erotic artwork by local artists. And to make things even more interesting, our regular calendar of exhibitions makes our shop part art gallery, part gift boutique. It’s an inspiring place that strives to continually evolve as we help you to satisfy your deepest desires.
