Come as You Are (sex shop)

Come As You Are is a sex-positive sex shop located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1997 by Cory Silverberg as a worker-owner cooperative in the model of the United States-based Good Vibrations. The bricks-and-mortar store on Queen Street West closed in 2016, but opened a new location in Kensington Market in 2020. Come As You Are has an educational and community-based mandate, to provide a store where people can access sex information and products. The sex-shop worked for making sex toys more accessible for disabled people.

Come As You Are has consistently been voted as one of Toronto’s best sex shops by the readers of Now Toronto.
