Secrets Jack London Square

Today i went there looking for a birthday present for a good friend i was sad to find out they don’t have men booby cups are boobies lolly pops all they had really had was for batcholett party

We purchased the $ 35 for $ 25 dollar deal and the lady at the counter didn’t really know how to deal with it and there was a language barrier as well which didn’t help. Ended up at the one in Concord which is apparently a super store and had a much better selection of retail items. But I guess they don’t have the theater/​movies. The lady at Concord says the theater/​movies at Jack London are better than theirs if that’s what you are looking for.

Their anal plugs are made of a porous material which means it soaks up bacteria and doesn’t clean off so your sticking a unsafe body material in you’re ass. I asked them about it and they told me it was silicone not did they care that it was unsafe. They will sell sell it to you lol plus harnesses are shit

A great all-​around adult store. Nice selection and prices reasonable. Clerk was most helpful and pleasant.

Really friendly employees!

Decent selection and price. Got a dildo — good for occasion when you need one in a pinch…

Karen is the best Manager Secret’s has ever had, She goes out of her way to make sure that the store look’s nice and is fully stocked. The other cashiers are very nice and accommodating when I come down, but there’s a few things that need to be fixed like the screen in the theater as well as bathroom needs to be cleaned once a day at least. I’ve been coming here for 20 years over 20 years and the staff that’s here now is the best it’s ever been here. When I came down I’m brought a couple of my swinger friend’s every time that happens this place comes alive and very wild but fun and safe.

I heard Good Vibrations is better, and it probably is, but if you’re wandering Jack London on a Monday afternoon and want learn about some sexy toys, you’ve come to the right place!
Heard of ben wa balls? No worries, the staff girl explained the balls to me and although intriguing, I probably wouldn’t pay over $ 20 for some small silver balls.
Bathroom? You can go into the free one near the theater (uhh…) or pay for the arcade use and use the bathroom there. My friends decided to use the restroom at the pier, which were pretty clean.
The selection was okay with the typical rubberized vaginas and anuses, rabbit vibrators, and all the strap ons you desire, but the sales section was the best part. There are lots of toys and board games. My friend bought «Nice or Nasty» board game for $ 2 and we ended up spending a good chunk of the afternoon playing along the pier. I won… how am I sooo good?

I really, really want to like this place. The women working here are great, the porn under the counter is hilarious to stop and watch, and the people shopping are amazingly creepy (which is always fun).
BUT –and this is a huge motherlovin’ butt– the corset I bought broke. The same day I bought it. I had such high hopes for it too since it was made in the Philippines and I’m all,” Oh, my cousins made this. YAY!“
Anyways, the only cool thing about this place are the employees who are super helpful and the bag they put your toys in. Seriously, it’s a Toy Story bag. How friggin’ awesome is that?! It’s 2 star awesome!

My boyfriend and I like to visit Yoshi’s Jazz Club in Oakland’s Jack London Square. This one store has always been in the back of his mind to visit one day. That one day finally came and we walked in to satisfy his curiosity of what could possibly be in a store like this (for me, it was more how bad is it going to be in here).
We saw the usual erotic items, such as lots of lacey/​transparent lingerie, sex toys, porn videos of every category imaginable (i.e., 18+, Asian and white/​black, french maids, S&M, etc.), masturbation devices, and so on. I suppose I might have gotten my hopes a bit high about how bad things would be in here and expected stranger and weirder items?
The one thing that caught our attention was a private screen room. I wonder what kind of videos you would bring in there… it reminded us of Marshall (Jason Segel) from a How I Met Your Mother episode where he went to a hotel to «take care of his business» because he couldn’t «take care of it» with his wife around. Anyways, that was about the only thing that amused me here.
What I recommend:
1) Don’t be the only couple that walks in here… you get a lot of eyes following you and whispers of what you and your significant other will be leaving with tonight.
2) Come in here only when you know you want/​need something here – best to get in, get it, and get out.

Normal adult store. Variety of choices, and okay prices. The arcade is something new. This kind of store is always fun. Lots of penis shaped stuff. :-D

So if you’re stocking up on all the latest vibrators this is your spot. They have the oh so famous $ 100 Rabbit that puts yo’ ass straight to sleep. Not to mention the dolphin, the butterfly, and every other animal/​insect shape vibrator so you can play it off when your children find it. They even have a finger sleeve with a tiny vibrator at the top, which I had to purchase and well I haven’t got any complaints yet ;-) As far as the 2ways, pink dildos, and anal plugs they have enough but don’t expect every color and shape. I don’t like that they skimp on the Kamasutra products like the honey dust body powder, massage oil, single chocolate body paint, or the pleasure balms. They mos def need to keep a better inventory of those sensual products. For you avid x-​rated movie watchers from what I’ve seen it’s my assumption that they got what ya need no matter what you are into. Overall convenient spot to get your thrills on, and have a happy ending to your night out in «The Town».

I am writing this review in reverse chronological order:
1. we came
2. we saw
3. we left
4. we Rented (FYI: $ 2.99 membership fee + $ 3.99 for rentals; $ 4.99 for new rentals, but you only get to rent ONE movie when you first sign up)
5. we perused a mediocre, yet overwhelming amount of visual stimulants; on either end of the store there were two entrances: one was to the Arcade and the other to the theatre. (Sidenote: they have a binder in the middle of their movie selections where you can see what’s available to fornicate to in the theatre. One of them was the Palin gettin’ Nalin one and NO we didn’t watch it, I just found it funny to see that and the guy nailin’ Palin was an «Obama» look alike)
6. we entered to the welcoming sound of a loud chime

I am not too sure what most people are expecting when coming here. It’s a clean and decent size adult mall just off the wonderful Jack London Broadway stretch. This is the type of place you want to be in exploring. Perfect for the females searching for the typical bachelorette party favors.
Break It Down Jason! Well do…
So for starters, I see a lot of reviews mentioning «slanging yo white ass», creepy dudes, and OMFG it’s scary downtown Oakland!
1. It’s an Adult store. Most people come in here for their nice little hobbies, buy a toy, mag, movie and or visit the Arcade (Jack Shack). Naturally you will get a few fellows who look a bit creepy but for fucksakes that what happens at every adult store! What did you expect, a Disney Land Adventure?
2. Yeah it is Oakland, its near downtown basically in Jack London and NO you aint going to get pimped out and or shot. Come on people, You would probably find more problems visiting a sex shop in the TL in SF vs Oakland. And yes, from time to time a black man is walking around the streets and may happen to check you out while in the store. Don’t take that as OMG RAPE… shit maybe a brother is just liking the way you look??? Sure someone could take it to a next level, maybe did, and be creepy but geeeeee… *here is a tissue and a mirror — your mascara is running*
Now that I’ve spanked that ass I shall continue…
This place is especially neat in my opinion based solely on the wide variety of items they have and how it is overall set up. Tons of goodies for both Male and Females. Again Females win on the toy section but there is a ton of Mags, Videos, and Novelties for everyone to go around. Yup they have a theater too!
Again, very clean and well set up store. I personally think they did a great job with this place and its is in fact in a good area with tons of people around. It is Jack London after all.
They are open late, maybe this is when a few of you came? Would explain maybe why someone wanted to sell your «cracker ass»… You on the strip at 1am looking like you came from Concord? Makes sense.
Anyhow.
Location in my opinion is easy and good. Does not have any special entrances. You go in, everyone on the streets knows where you are going. Not for the shy types by any means. They do have a wide arrange of customers like another review noted; Creepy to Straight Donald Trump looking mofo’s — again typical typical…
Overall this place is in for the win… «Explore» as the sign says outside… then.
???

This place is huge from the looks on the outside hella plastered hella big haha. Anyways they have a good selection of toys and fits. As for the DVD collection its ok. The prices is a little pricey store is clean and the employees are chill.

The group of 20 – 30 year olds that walked in to this store suddenly became 12 year olds. The decibel of our giggling was so loud I’m really surprised they didn’t kick us out.
They had 2 for 1 lingerie but when I looked at it they were either not very attractive or extremely overpriced. Bummer.
Then looking at the selection of toys, sure they had a few interesting things; the Remote Control Venus Penis Vibrator, a drunken jenga game, but outside of that nothing all that particularly interesting. I’ve been to other stores that had much more variety to offer. I suppose in a pinch and if you are near by, it would be okay and you can find something that would be halfway decent.
They definitely have magazines catering to a wide variety of preferences and fetishes though. I think my personal favorite, for entertainment not stimulation purposes, was the magazine dedicated to HAIRY men. Once we were halfway through it though I almost lost my dinner.

I had to pop into Secrets, the local adult store in Jack London Square, to pick up the always popular Pin The Macho on The Man. The second one I have owned, it is that popular. Because I was there — you know I had to take a look see at the toy offerings — I mean, why not, right?
So, there I am holding my Macho Man under my arm and browsing the mutli-​colored vibrators. I pick up a promising new specimen that is just begging to be added to my personal collection when the creepy dude behind the counter with unnaturally short fingers decided to chime in.
«Let me know if you need any help deciding. The ones in the clear packaging are really popular.»
Um, excuse me?
1. Do you have a vagina? Do you think that you are qualified to give me advice on how good a vibrator works, Creepy Short Finger Man?
2. Do you know who I am!!! I owned an adult toy business — please! I have more vibrators than you have changes of clean under-​ware…
3. Is that a pornography playing behind the counter on the mini TV? Um, pretty sure it is. And pretty sure that chick just allowed a black man with a giant (!) penis to cum all over her face. Charming.
Alright, my adult toy shopping fun is done.
I went up to the counter so that Creepy Short Finger Man could ring up the Macho Man for me, «Couldn’t find one to satisfy you, huh?»
Ha. Ha.
Aren’t you hilarious, Creepy Short Finger Man?
Sick!!!
I do have to give it to this place though — they have quite a selection! And that is why they get 3 stars instead of 2… but if I go again, I’m bringing back up!

On the way to dinner at Kincaids, I walked by this place thinking,
«hmmmm… this would be a good place to go after dinner with Sarah E.»
After dinner, that’s exactly what Sarah and I did.
–1 for the loud ass chime when you walk into the store
+1 there is a theater!
+1 there is an arcade and by arcade i mean individual jackoff rooms
–1 didn’t have full sized real dolls
+2 Johnny Hazzard dildo
–1 Not enough Bi films! The titles for those videos are by far my favorite. i.e. Bi Bi American Pie.
+1 a cock shaped baking pan… i was about to buy it to make erotic cakes for the next DYL or give it to Jenn N. so she could use it. Probably not a good idea if her daughter wants to help her make a cake.
+1 the cashier has a small tv under the counter with porn on. Can you imagine watching porn all day while you’re working?
+1 watching sarah’s face as she comments on a picture of a huge vagina.
–1 lack of variety. Not enough videos, not enough toys, just kinda lacked in quantity
+1 Sarah touching those fake vaginas and immediately drawing her hand back because she was stunned that it would feel so soft. Sarah was grossed out a few times. Her face i really just priceless.
–1 shady clientele
GOOD TIMES!

Well it’s official-it’s no secret I visited. Not by choice though… dragged along by the bf’s cousin looking for gag gifts for newlyweds. I was forced to look at the over sized rubbery man’s woohooo, lollipop boobs, fake rubber vajayjays, and obscene porn with creatures & people of all shapes, colors, and sizes. Ahhhh my eyes (O_​o)! Ok, I’m exaggerating a bit…
But I enjoy Secrets for its purpose, and well, my amusement. despite not being a normal at these type of stores. But, I always like to observe. A wide range of toys, sex novelties, plenty of porn, and plenty of creepy old men. I guess what differentiates this place from other adult stores is the large theater. They also have small video booths and arcades for your viewing pleasure.
Everyone was nice and very helpful here. I didn’t buy anything, but found amusement in poking at the convincing fake rubber body parts. People use these things? (._​.) !
Immaturely I walked out giggling at the penis lipstick…

Feh… The only thing «super» is the Super Large marqee outside and the long hallway to the actual store which is pretty small.
When I was curious back in high school, I would go here (even though no one under 18 is allowed, they didn’t seem to care).
Nothing spectacular, just the standard porn fare, toys, lubes, condoms, etc. I haven’t been in the theater, but I’ve seen all types coming and going from child molester looking folks to office guys on their «lunch».
