There are a variety of uses for a dildo, beside the obvious one. Dildos make good necklace racks, a la Abbi Abrams from Broad City. They can be stuck on a bathroom and wall and used to hold up toilet paper. They can be used as a doorstopper. And, in August 2016, they can be strapped onto a Longhorn’s backpack to protest against the campus carry laws going into effect on the Forty Acres. The campus carry protest “#CocksNotGlocks” suggests that UT Austin students arm themselves with dildos when they head to class. 

For anyone who doesn’t have a dildo/door stopper/protest tool handy: Here are three Austin sex shops to get you ready for….well, anything.

1.   Q Toys Austin

Q Toys boasts that it sells sex toys made only from quality plastics. If you want a locally manufactured dildo, Q Toys has got your back. Plus, a Yelp review called them “the Apple store of sex toys.” For the go-getters trying to get the latest, high-quality dildo, this is your place.

2.  Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit has been “keeping Austin kinky since 1981.” Forbidden Fruit is woman owned and operated, and has been voted Austin Chronicle’s “best naughty store” for quite a few consecutive years. Supporting local businesses and the cause has never been so, dare we say, kinky.

3.  Le Rouge Boutique

“Le Rouge” translates to “the red” in English, but despite the relatively boring translation, saying things in French by default makes them sound sexier. Located just off I-35, Le Rouge is a convenient stop for your dildo needs. Check out this shop or one of the others listed as a local alternative to getting your dildo online.
