Does your country have sex shops like this?

So I came across this video that showed amazing Sex shops in Berlin. I've never seen anything like it!

They were so open to the public and had such a crazy variety of toys. Moreover, I noticed that many women seemed comfortable entering them. In the video they compare them to the very conservative unwelcoming sex shops in the UK. I'm wondering how these incredible sex shops of Berlin compare to the one's in the USA, Brazil, Russia etc? Does your country have adults shops similar to the one's depicted in this video?

Danish sex shops are similar.

Actually, I only find it peculiar if a modern society doesn't allow the same, and then of course I am familiar with how religion and conservatism has puts its dead cold hands on enlightenment.
Scandinavia, The Netherlands and Germany: Yes. Freedom prevail.
Elsewhere: You have a long way to go...

Pretty much standard in Germany since Beate Uhse opened the first one in 1962.

Looks nice. Sex boutiques in Spain are nice too. Not as fancy but are large & all inclusive. even a large selection of inflatable animals if thats your thing. Best ones are in Madrid.

Lucky you, guys, that you still have them around
Here in Italy, they all turned to just online shops. You can still go there and see what they have in-stock or not. But they're as ugly as a dungeon (at least those that are still open, here in Milan).
And they have very little choice of items, mostly poor-quality made toys/items, and very high prices. Even higher than Lovehoney, I would say.
It's the Amazon Effect.
Amazon definitely broke the legs of many merchants, here in Italy, not only in just the sex market. But also in electronics, shoes/boots, personal care, garden, books, etcetera etcetera.

We used to have stuff like that in the US but SJW politicians cleared them out in Boston's Combat Zone (the whole area turned into Asian markets and restaurants) and NYC's Time Square (became Disneyfied),

I've heard that Canada has some amazing, open ones that are well lit and welcoming to everyone, especially women and also some seedier sex shops. That most of them aren't really conservative. Is that true and if so, why is it so different to the USA?

We still have them here in New York State. There are two literally just down the street from each other, and another on the other side of town. Two of them are open 24/7. I've not been to either of them in years and years, but their pictures on social media show that they are not seedy and very well stocked and professionally set up. There's also an adult theater that still is somehow going strong. One day me and my girl may be brave and venture to that place but I seriously doubt it. I've heard tales. The SJW's have not yet closed all of these places down and I doubt that they ever could as sex will always sell. As for why it is different in the USA, local laws and public perceptions are the main reason. Most laws banning these places outright are long overturned but some places put up obstacles for them to function as businesses, much like with strip clubs. The internet obviously has also impacted the economic feasibility of such places as well.

not at all, yet

I don't understand, why would SJW's want to prevent women from having access to sex toys? I'm not talking about pornography, but just sex toys. Why would they want to stop women from being able to masturbate?
