Early to Bed

How many sex shops have a book club, a seminar series (from the relatively vanilla “Strip for Your Lover” to “Intro to Japanese Rope Bondage”), and regularly sponsor community events (from burlesque shows to women’s health benefits)? More than just a storefront, Searah Deysach’s Early to Bed is a happy sex community center, with its bright space, friendly, helpful staff, and enticements to pick up and turn on all of the toys on display. And there’s nary a bachelorette-party gag gift in sight. The Web site is equally appealing, with entertaining blog posts cheerfully announcing, e.g., “Something New for Your Butt!” along with product reviews and ephemera. 5232 N. Sheridan, 773-271-1219, early2bed.com. —Kathie Bergquist
