Passional Boutique:
The name has changed to Passional Boutique, they have also expanded into 2 stores, one for clothing and one for toys. The 2 stores are half a block apart, and things are alot less cluttered, and there is more room to walk around, also a nice selection of toys. I never new there were so many toys until I went to Passional. They were very friendly and they answered every question I had. It was an enjoyable and educational experience. The upstairs was for more advanced fetishes but they also had an art gallery. They hold classes a few times a month for different kinds of things for single people and couples alike. They also make you aware of upcoming events in the community. I was very pleased with the staff. They were upbeat and considerate. I recommend this store, whether you're looking for corsets, cinchers, latex or clubwear. And the clothing store, it doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, bi, trans. There is something in both stores for everyone.

Sophisticated boutique with HIGHLY educated employees:
The first time I went to Passional I was amazed by the store and the employees. This is NOT the "dirty book store" of the past with glory holes in the basement. Passional offers high quality sex toys with a 90 day guarantee. But the best part about shopping here is that the staff is trained to answer any questions about the product. Walking into the store without a clue as to what I was looking for, they were able to suggest several different toys in various price ranges...and the lube to go along!
Passional Boutique has been in the same location now for 10 years. The Sexplatorium, their toy store, has split from the original store and is now a block away. The selection in the clothing store was incredible. Not just women's fashions either, they offer just as much for the men. Latex, leather, gothic club outfits, bedroom apparel.... However, it's the corsets that sets them way above the rest.
Passional has real Victorian style corsets in so many sizes and styles. I tried on one that flattened my stomach and curved my hips with only a pull of the lacing! The employees were enthusiastic about their products and seemed really eager to fit me properly, taking the time to measure and size me.
