getting started
There many kinds of erotic toys and books — as many there are people and desires. At Venus Envy, we believe that everyone has the right to pleasure and that exploring sexual pleasure is key to being a healthy human being.
If you are new to the world of sex toys, then take some time to look through the online catalogue and see what's out there. We offer a wide range of high-quality items in a large number of styles and colours. We encourage you to read about how to use and care for these toys as well.
We offer books that approach sexuality from many different perspectives; one of the best places to "get started" is with erotica or a how-to guide that piques your interest.
Educating and respecting our customers is our primary mandate; no matter what your intererests or level of experience, we're happy to answer your questions.

The University of Ottawa's Couple Research Lab is looking for participants for their online study on same-sex couple relationships! This study aims to better understand personal and relationship factors that contribute to well being and distress in same-sex couples.
To be eligible, you must be 18 years old or more, have a good knowledge of English and be in a same-sex couple relationship for at least 12 months. In order to thank you for your participation, you will be entered in a draw for gift certificates to a music store.
