The Tender Box

Ok, I saw the sign outside that said Entertainment and thought it might be a place to check out some live music but I was a bit disappointed when I stepped into a den of porn. Now, I’m not a loiterer of adult shops much but while I was there, i decided to browse around. I saw porn DVDs by the hundreds, I saw sex toys & I saw a tunnel that led me to a back room with booths. I opened one of the booth doors and saw a TV screen that needed money to operate so I stuck a dollar in the machine. Porn came up on the TV. As soon as I did that, some young man approached me with an offer that I quickly refused. I don’t hook up so I left there and won’t be back unless I need something as sexy for my wife. The staff was helpful & friendly. They need to police that back room for creepy weirdos.

First time in the store, very friendly and helpful. Got some new toys to play with!

It has limited inventory and most things are on the low end, so if you’re into quality products, shop online or go elsewhere. I give it 1 star for emergencies only, as I bought some lube for $ 39.95 only to find it online for $ 15.95. Only 150% above what you can purchase it online which includes free shipping. What a rip.

It’s all right for what it is. It has been there for DECADES. A permanemt staple of Hermosa Beach, no matter how hard the puritanical residents try to get rid of it. LOL.
The usual assortment of frilly stuff for girls, and prototypical faire for guys who seek out that sort of stuff. DVD’s are expensive (shocking, I know).
Quarter-​run video booths in the back. LOL. Back in the 90’s, I almost got in a fist fight with an overzealous patron. He was a little TOO friendly…
It smells like Pine-​Sol inside the store because they need to disinfect on a regular basis. Sorry, but it is what it is.
Bring a companion to avoid the weirdness factor of exiting onto busy Pacific Coast Highway and being seen by EVERYONE driving by… ;)
