Find the Best Adult Store in your State
Without further ado, the award for the highest number of sex shops per capita goes to New Hampshire, with an impressive 2.76 shops per 100,000 people.
It seems their state motto ‘Live free or die’ also applies to free choice when it comes to sex toy stores.
Fun fact…
The highest-rated sex toy shop in New Hampshire, Thornes of Concord, offers a personal shopping experience by appointment. No wonder they score so highly on customer service!
Not far behind, in second place is…
Rhode Island! Famous for beaches, not being an island, and now, having a great selection of sex toy shops! This seaside state has 2.19 sex toy shops per 100,000 people, giving its residents plenty to choose from.
Now, let’s look at which states had the lowest sex toy shop-to-resident ratio.
The lowest-ranking states in our research were New York, with just 0.35 shops per 100,000 people, and California, with 0.38.
But, before you judge them too harshly, we have to remember that these states both have a dense population, meaning more people can access a smaller number of shops.
Also, these cities have their fair share of sex toy mega stores with every pleasure product you could dream of under one roof!
Top Rated States Across the US
The state with the most satisfied customers is Idaho, with an impressive average rating of 4.38 stars out of 5. Great work Idaho sex toy stores! You are keeping your customers happy in more ways than one!
Taking joint second with 4.35 stars out of five are Alaska and Wyoming, and a shade behind them is Delaware, with 4.34.

A growing interest in adult stores
Physical stores of all kinds have taken a real hit with the global pandemic, with COVID-19 dominating all areas of our lives. It’s no surprise that this also affected sex toy stores.
The chart shows the waning Google searches for terms related to ‘adult shop’ as the pandemic started to take hold in the U.S. in February and March 2020.
You can see a significant drop in searches for adult stores in March 2020, shortly after Trump declared a COVID- 19 National Emergency.
There was a spike in interest in February 2021, which we can only guess is related to Valentine’s Day.
Luckily, things look set to get back on track and maybe even increase compared to previous periods.
While it has been a tough time for physical stores, the sex toy industry seems to be flourishing, with sales increasing in many different countries, including the US.
Data from Google trends, period 29.05.2019 – 29.06.2021
Sex toy laws
Due to obscenity laws in Texas, it is illegal to own more than six sex toys – a law that seems pretty obscene if you ask me!
Nevertheless, while Texas has a low number of sex toy stores per capita, it wasn’t the lowest, with 0.51 stores per 100,000
I don’t know about you, but I would sleep much safer knowing my neighbors had a cupboard full of dildos collection than guns!
And before you ask, how would they defend themselves?
I’ve definitely seen a few dildos you could defend yourself with! My weapon of choice would, without a doubt, be the Dick Rambone.
Search Interest across states
Data from Google trends, period 29.05.2019 – 29.06.2021, Index based on state comparison – comparing the total searches with that of ‘adult store’ related search queries.
It’s no surprise that Nevada scored pretty highly here, with many tourists coming to Las Vegas and searching for ways to have a good time in every sense!
Even states without the lusty advantage of Las Vegas scored pretty high with Louisiana, Oregon, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennesee all scoring above 80.
Vermont and Idaho had the lowest search index for terms related to ‘adult shop,’ but both had above-average numbers of sex toy shops per 100,000 capita. We’re guessing these savvy residents already know where to find their favorite sex toy stores and have no need to search for them!
Interestingly, Idaho had the best average rating out of any state, so while it seems few people are searching for ‘adult shop’ related terms, the ones that do frequent the sex toy stores are satisfied customers!
