EDMONTON - Local sex shops are experiencing friskier business these days.
Thanks to the popular erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey, the first in a bestselling trilogy of books by British author E.L. James, Edmonton sex-toy boutiques can't keep customers' hands off items featured in the fictional work.
Brenda Kerber, owner of Whyte Avenue's The Traveling Tickle Trunk , noticed an increase in traffic over the past couple of weeks. New customers come in each day, referencing the racy read as a source of inspiration.
She says many have never played with toys or walked into a sex shop before, but now they're interested in trying something a little different in the bedroom.
"I think it's fantastic that it is opening people's minds to things that they may not have tried before, and that they're wanting to find out about it and experiment. I think we've really reached a place where it's acceptable for people to say, 'Hey, I'm interested in this.' "
