Needless to say, sex and sexuality continue to be a hush-hush topic in our society despite the fact that it’s as common as eating ice cream. It’s is so common and so sought that during the lockdown, there was a 95% increase in porn site traffic and post the lockdown, the sale of sex toys in India saw a 65% rise. So technically, sex toys are one of the many things in India that don’t meet the supply and demand ratio.
However, Goa thankfully is changing things for us. Goa has smashed the taboo to become India’s first legal sex toy shop cum wellness products store and dared to do what no one else has done before.
Kama Gizmos in Goa has become the country’s first official store where you can buy adult wellness products from. The one of the kind stores is located along the Calangute stretch in Goa and sells a wide variety of sex toys, unique condoms, sprays, gels, vibrators and pumps to harnesses, packers and more.

The shop is, thankfully, designed decently and looks like a medical store and not some kinky bar. The inside of the shop is also well lit with absolutely no nudity and no obscenity of any kind.
Some of the store’s bestsellers, as per the Vice report include BDSM sets, marshmallow-flavoured, glow-in-the-dark and vegan condoms, cock rings, vibrators and role play costumes.

Talking about the design, Nirav Mehta, the co-founder of the shop said, ”We have purposely not made it flashy or like a dark underground dungeon, which is how most shops like this abroad are. We have modelled it like a medical store, while all our certificates are on the wall. We do this to avoid any political backlash.”
Notably, it’s because of India’s strict obscenity laws in India that have made it nearly impossible for legit sex shops to operate. “This law is in the grey space, but essentially, you can sell any [sex] product as long as it is not obscene. We purposely chose toys and products with packaging that did not have nudity or show women in a demeaning manner, so it does not violate any obscenity laws,” said Mehta.
