adult shops
Intimate merchandise stores
Adult shops are retail stores selling sex toys, pornography, lingerie, and other products related to sexual activity.
They typically restrict entry to customers over 18 or 21.
The phrase is somewhat euphemistic—adult here means sexual rather than simply for grown-ups.
Also called sex shops.
