Good Vibrations, the Bay Area’s favorite “sexuality product” shop (NSFW), is having money troubles, and they want some rich customer or five to give them money to buy their fall stock.The only good news about their dire straits is that demand is not diving because people are less interested in sex, or at least sex with condoms, lube or any other toy one might be interested in. Business is slow because other business types caught on that sexessories sell well online. What a relief. Who wants to read that Things That Go Bump in the Night are out of vogue?We don’t.Sex aside, it’s hard for some businesses in the Bay Area to survive so long. Nabolom Bakery in Berkeley’s Elmwood neighborhood has been a cooperatively-owned bakery for thirty years, but the anarchist collective had to beg for money in 2005. And Cody’s Books’ flagship Telegraph Avenue location closed last July amid ascending competition from online bookselling industries.So for Good Vibes’ sake, support your local sex shop. The staff will thank you and so will the person in your bed.Image Source: Michael Seeman, Daily CalPicking Up Good Vibrations [Daily Cal]Competition has shaken Good Vibrations [SF Gate]Nabolom Bakery struggles to survive [Infoshop News]Cody’s Books to close flagship store in Berkeley [SF Gate]

Support your local sex shop? Why would I buy an inferior product at a higher price when I can have the superior and inexpensive one shipped directly to my home? Supporting local business is bad for America and bad for you and me.
