Boston is not known for letting its hair down often, subsequently resulting in a smaller market for titillating adult boutiques than say, NYC or San Francisco. A quick survey reveals that we do in fact have some local destinations to comfortably seek out a sex-positive shopping experience. And per usual, we're mapping them!

For example, Marky Mark isn't the only Bostonian who wants "Good Vibrations"—the well-manicured Brooklike 'hood of Coolidge Corner has a shop of the same name. Meanwhile, folks down in Providence get their kicks from the highly-regarded Mister Sister. Did we miss any explicit goodies in the Greater Boston area? Dish in the comments.
