If you're feeling a bit self-conscious, shy, or embarrassed about strolling into a hardcore erotic boutique like the Pleasure Chest or the Pink Pussycat, Ricky's is just what the doctor ordered. Ricky's is an energized and inviting drug store/cosmetic/novelty/costume/adult toy shop. From the vinyl-clad, fishnetted, tongue-in-cheek S&M mannequins to the colorful, fun merchandise, the spirit is playful, not intimidating. Here you can find everything from traditional lip gloss to pussy lip gloss.
There are several locations throughout the city, but the best and biggest branch for the carnally inclined is the W. 72nd Street flagship store. Head straight to the back of the shop for the "hot stuff." Here you'll find three areas to play in: The Erotica 101 section boasts a full range of Kama Sutra products, as well as oils and powders, Wash Your Sins Away soaps, Virgin/Slut hand and body cream, and even a laminated card of the Tao of Sexual Positions. If you start feeling a bit peckish, pick up a box of penis-shaped pasta or "peter" butter. Next scoot over to the Playground, where dozens of pairs of panties and thongs as well as a full line of Rubbawear items await your selection (we found a black corselet for $49.95 and a chain choker dress for $40). Because Ricky's has a large following among theater types and drag queens, they offer an extensive collection of fantasywear, including fishnet and latex bodywear, catsuits, and red-hot vinyl minis. The XXX room is curtained off by a set of dangling whips. Once you slink under them, you'll find, among other goodies, a blow-up doll of a police woman ($59.95), which is billed as having bulletproof nipples, but we urge you not to try and verify that claim! You'll also encounter dildos and vibrators galore, from traditional "massage" to executive cigar, and from glow-in-the-dark to the delicate pink scallop shell model with a built-in clit stimulator. If you'd rather go deep in another direction, check out the Millennium Anal Beads, glistening with ersatz mother-of-pearl ($12.99). Sorry, but there are no in-store demos!
Since Ricky's is also a drug store, it should come as no surprise that they offer a respectable collection of condoms. Try the glow-in-the-dark or cola-flavored varieties. And before you leave, pick up some candles and incense as well as a set of ChopDicks chopsticks to impress your next dinner date.
