Castle Megastore

Castle Megastore is another haven in the Valley for your after-​dark, X rated shenanigans.
Everything you need to get your freak on and then some!
Friendly associates on the floor to help you, well organized yet kind of dusty/​musty inside.
We saw a variety of patrons, from your typical couple to a handful of sex workers, and a couple of college kids just farting around in a sex shop.
Again, like with other sex stores, you really shouldn’t be embarrassed. .. We’re all seeking similar things here.
Superb selection of your basic and higher end toys, lingerie, lube, condoms and gag gifts (think Bachelorette party goods and every Marijuana joke in the book).
Great place to go if you and your honey are looking to experiment with a new lube or condom.
One thing, though: I wouldn’t recommend buying your basic, vanilla Trojan ENZs, Bareskins (or similar brands) or KY and Astroglide here.
The markup is rigotdamnediculous (close to over 50% ridiculous, wooooweeee!), and you’re better off hitting up Target, Wal-​Mart, Costco or Frys if you need the basics.
I might drop back in if I find myself in the neighborhood again.

Open till the wee hours, it is a large store, well organized, the employees are friendly, it is not seedy at all. Plus, the building looks like an eponymous castle, so I guess one could feel like the Prince or Princess of lube and gag balls here.
Anyway, from lingerie, shoes and «Dance» wear, to walls upon walls and neatly arranged aisles of all things phallic and fetish, I’d think most could find what they seek for carnal knowledge at Castle. They even threw a few samples in with our purchase. Will definitely go back, it is hard to forget them when I receive a «Strap On Sunday» weekly email!

A great place to peruse while drunk/​bored/​horny. I got to hear some interesting stories about the clerk’s sexcapades. Sex toys make a great gift didn’t ya know? Some people walk around in stores like this like they are in a museum. The staff may get a bit nerdy on you talking up the various sex toys. A $ 200 submersible vibrator? Go check it out.

Great selection of higher end toys, a wide variety of lubes, toys, lingerie (for men and women-​not sure what you’d call it for men though), the staff was really helpful and open-​made us feel comfortable. They also have movies and such. Good store for sure!
P. S. One of the only stores that was open at 10am on a Sunday.

Yeah, I have wanted the same pair of shoes that they allegedly sell for a couple months now, and each time they have been out of them.
«Oh, we have your size in white!»
I don’t want white. I want black. This is a very standard «stripper heel» type shoe and I need black, and black is the most popular color anyway. Why the eff don’t you ever have them?
I think they only stock 2 or 3 sizes in each shoe. It’s quite strange.
Also, purchased a dress, tried to return it as it was so itchy I could not fathom wearing it out without scratching like a flea-​bitten monkey, and the guy refused to take it back, citing «powder marks» on the inside… Negative, ghost rider, there are no powder marks, and even if there were, woop de ding, that happens when people try clothes on IN STORE EVEN. Wipe it off. You work in an adult shop; that’s the least disgusting thing you will ever have to hear of/​see/​do.

My wife and I are still a bit skittish about stuff like this. We both went here together and got a few things. We found the store okay. We did find things here to be more costly then what we got on the Internet.

Adult Activity supply stores, as I have experienced them, fall into 3 categories: Dirty, dark places that have a few magazines and DVDs, video booths and cinema spaces… clean places with a large variety of inventory for men and women, which may or may not have video booths, and glitzy locations with a decent inventory and aggressive clerks that steer you toward the most expensive options.
Price-​wise, the comparison to Food City and AJ’s that someone offered is pretty good. I would also add in that there is a third price level, the lower end, which would be the liquor store and quickie mart located in the red zone on Van Buren.
Castle Megastore falls in the second category. On arriving about 1 PM, there were several cars in the parking lot. When I pulled the door open, the clerk caught my eye and said «Hello.» I replied and cast my view about the store. Clothing opportunities, toys, DVDs and magazines available in abundance. I came in search of a DVD title from a few years ago, which was highly recommended to me.
As I walked toward the DVDs, the clerk advised if I needed help, just let her know. I like a shopping experience (hardware/​department store/​buying a car) where the salesperson is not hovering over you… but has made you aware they are there to assist if you need assistance.
The mix of patrons was interesting. A couple of «ladies who lunch» were perusing what appeared to be bathing suits… several «working girls» were there to stock up on their preferred condoms and lube… two couples were looking at various toys and two men were perusing magazines and DVDs.
I found what I was looking for without having to ask the clerk.
Clean, not skanky, decent prices… absolutely!
Better signage as to where one can look to find what they are looking for… please consider it.

Of all the adult stores in Phoenix I visit this one the most simply due to location. Same as all the Castle stores, well stocked, helpful staff and «decent» prices.

This is how I describe Castle in comparison to Fascinations.
Castle is food city (no offense) and Fascinations is AJ’s.
Castle’s focus are every type of customer from those who are hookers, escorts, strippers, porn industry, college student, divorcee, married or partnered couples. They have it all gay and straight and ensure that both demographics are represented. It’s a good business model. It’s open 24 hours and they have a great lube selection and the wall of and shelves of dildos are not that bad… pretty extensive. and lots of porn dvds that you can buy or rent.
I think that’s why I like castle is that there are certain items that i can buy when necessary for my nocturnal activities ;-) and the staff can be helpful as long as you ask. Interesting late late night crowds. And if you’re just bored one night, there’s nothing wrong with checking out the store and perusing the different fun toys, a night with no expectations can usually lead to a purchase of something interesting, if you catch my drift… teehee!

They’re ID policy is really bad.
I got in without an ID by saying I was John A.‘s twin.

Hmmm… Castles… well I guess as far as adult shoppes go, it couldnt be the worst, but if my immagination is a reality it couldn’t be the best either. Then again I don’t really care for Adult Stores. I mean they are good for a few laughs, but then you see the creepy 40 something guy who looks like he’s on his break from playing Everquest. That just makes me sad/​scared.
