About us

Business name: Extasica s.r.o

Activity:  sexshop, family business from 2016

Focus: BDSM, dildos, clinical sex

Scope: European Union

How are we different?

We test the erotic toys ourselves and only about 1 product out of 100 goes on sale.

We have fixed prices for erotic toys that are 30 to 40% lower than the cheapest sex shops.

In our experience, sex shops offer low - quality sex toys as standard, including dangerous products at overpriced prices (see Sex Toy Museum). You can look at the offer of dildos, vibrators and BDSM in regular sex shops. In the retail trade of sexual aids, you can state an incredibly fair quality, which you would not be forgiven for such prices elsewhere. At the same time, quality does not necessarily mean expensive on the market of erotic aids. There is much to discover.

We are not satisfied with the offer of local European distributors and we carefully select for you quality erotic toys from all over the world with sufficient added value. That means sex toys, which cannot be replaced by a cheaper product of the same quality. 

That's why we only have about 1,000 products on offer for you, but selected from around 100,000 products from our suppliers. However, we cannot find some toys even in such a large group of suppliers, so we design them in cooperation with established manufacturers (see below).

We write tips and recommendations from our own experience and in depth to help you and not as a marketing supplement without added value.

Principles

Fair dealings, minimum marketing, no harassing emails, maximum protection of your privacy.

Unusually low prices for sex toys - own suppliers, low margins, costs and plain packaging

Our prices are on average 30-40% lower than the cheapest sex shops. Compared to expensive sex shops, we are 1/4 the price with the same quality or better. Sex shops normally buy from local distributors. We take 80-90% goods directly from the manufacturers. Therefore, we can often offer wholesale prices or better.

In the sex shop Extasica, the average basic markup to the purchase price is 85%. According to the 2015 annual report, the largest store in the Czech Republic, Erotic City, has an average markup on the purchase price of 265%, after taking into account discounts and sales, ie. basic surcharge 300%. For other online sex shops, the standard surcharge is approx. 100-150%. The exception is zaneck vibrators, where the markup in all stores is only 20-80 % (in our case, approx. 40% - we do not try to be cheaper in vibrators, because there is already a low margin given by the market). The resulting surcharge to the price with sales and discounts is only approx. 75%.

When buying a sex toy, many people make decisions in excitement - irrationally. So sex shops are passing and will pass, but that is not our direction. We want to deliver quality goods with high added value.

Third – our costs. Limited opening hours, free software, usually wholesale packaging (simple packaging) enable low costs. So also low prices. We spend only 10% of turnover on advertising (the industry average is 20%). You, our customers and your referrals, are our advertising.

Emphasis on quality, selection and testing of sex toys

We choose erotic accessories mostly at world exhibitions (Hong Kong, Shang Hai) from direct suppliers. We select a smaller part on the Internet from manufacturers or distributors.  Of the sex toys for sale we reviewed, we only accept the 1% based on quality, appearance, variability of use, price/performance ratio, and added value. By added value we mean a feature that is not available with another erotic toy or a combination of them for the same price. Closer to the article How to choose a sex toy.

We test erotic aids before including them in the offer (test methodology). You cannot buy erotic toys from us that are easily capable of causing injuries or abrasions (eg Velcro harnesses or insufficiently sanded metal tools). Maybe you are deprived of a lot of products that we do not like or do not rate as quality, but you have quality assurance.

We do not approve low-quality sex toys for sale (for more see Sex Toy Museum) such as dangerous vaginal mirrors, low-quality handcuffs (which cut hands), low-quality pumps or inflatable devices (leaks air, does not keep shape). Nylon or plastic immobilization belts with Velcro fasteners. You can find these dangerous sex tools in the vast majority of sex shops. Even one reputable sex shop had people write to their website for months that the dangerous anal mirror was cutting their mucous membranes. They still kept selling it :). Such an approach is unfortunately rather standard in sex shops. In the Extasica sex shop, we throw away dangerous erotic toys. If we don't like a safe product, we don't try to sell it at full price - it goes straight to the sale with a description of defects or negatives and for a fraction of the price.

Quality and critical information

300 professional reviews in the form of critical comments on products. We describe the advantages, disadvantages and alternative ways of using erotic toys. If we find negatives about the product, we will describe them. We provide truthful and critical information in articles and descriptions of sexual aids. That should be the standard, but it isn't. See, for example, whether your sex shop mentions popular marketing nonsense in the description of the vacuum pump, how the pump will lengthen your penis, or how an enema benefits health and cleansing the body. . .

We usually photograph the goods ourselves in high resolution and normal light. We do not edit photos.

Ours The sexual museum It will show you a lot of low-quality toys that you should avoid.

Quality porn stories they are almost non-existent on the internet. You can find a few of them here.

Extasica Design – Development of own sexual aids and cooperation with manufacturers

We cooperate with five international manufacturers of sex toys on the development. There are no high-quality large silicone dildos under 150 Euro on the market, neither human nor animal or fantasy. They are usually only made of PVC or vinyl, both materials being too hard for a large toy. We design these dildos ourselves and sell them at a price from 80 to 150 Euros from 2020. Moreover, the standard market hardness of dildos is too high 15-30%. We leave our or custom-made dildos in the hardness of human tissue 7.5HC or 7.5 % (more How to choose a sex toy).

We participated in the development of an ergonomic vaginal pump. We have some BDSM handcuffs, whips and harnesses made in softer genuine leather. We had a safe o-gag manufactured that is not available anywhere else on the market. Thanks to direct communication with manufacturers, we are able to advance the development of some products or determine better quality properties.

Privacy - We do not know or betray our customer

We delete all your data after 2 months from the order. Protecting your privacy (more in Privacy) is, as far as possible, one of our highest priorities.

Customer reviews - Your voice

Your review on Google, Heureka or elsewhere they help us a lot and we are happy for them. Also for your trust, when we have the highest rating on Google (100%) and on Heureka in the field. Heureka officially shows the rating only for the last 3 months - in our case 100%. The assessment for the entire hostoria, which must be calculated by oneself, has a higher informative value. Extasica has 98.5%, i.e. approximately 3% better long-term rating than the next sex shop in the ranking.

We generally have very few reviews due to our strict privacy policies. Requests for sex shop reviews on Heureka CZ were deactivated from 2018 to 4/2022 due to the protection of your privacy, as the conditions of Heureka were not in accordance with the GDPR. Other sex shops (95% sex shops in the Czech Republic) shared customer data with Heureka illegally and have many more ratings. The vast majority continue to do so illegally with pre-checked consent prohibited by law. They will also fail to inform the customer that Heureka CZ will receive highly sensitive customer data - your email, information about the content of the purchase. We will not divulge your privacy.

We do not allow ourselves to give your data to review portals, as most stores do, and due to the sensitivity of the goods sold, we do not even want to bother you with requests for reviews. We are all the more pleased with each of your reviews.

If you give us a rating at Heureka, Google or similar reference portals, it will help us a lot.

Many companies, including successful ones, often do not care about customer suggestions or implement them reluctantly. E.g. Paypal is unable to top up an EU citizen's credit in dollars. We usually fulfill your suggestions within a few days and it will help everyone. 

Ecology

What we don't want to sell

Latex as goods with a relatively increased hygienic and health risk (absence of ventilation, skin reactions). Latex can be replaced by a more natural, comfortable and cheaper alternative (eg role playing, costumes, sex in different places, handcuffs, metal and leather clothing). We perceive chemical stimulants, magnifying creams and other chemical products as unnatural and harmful (Poppers etc.). We do not want and are not allowed to sell Viagra and its generics like Kamagra due to legislation. We are not satisfied with the design of erotic clothing in any price category and we are withdrawing from the segment. We have also withdrawn from the area of condoms, where the market is functioning sufficiently. Artificial vaginas and masturbators do not make sense to us (why: article here). We also withdrew from the area of silicone dolls, where there were several factors. Frequent damage in transit, low prices of lower quality (but not that much worse) dolls on Aliexpress, and also our low belief that a silicone sex doll offers enough added value for its price.

Why do sex shops mainly have erotic aids from China and not from the USA or Europe?

70% erotic goods are made in China and this trend is strengthening. Not only because of the price, but paradoxically contrary to the common idea as well because of quality. Extasica is even gradually moving away from reputable Western goods, as they are often of lower quality than well-selected non-branded Chinese erotic aids. For a long time, China has played a major role in the segment of erotic gadgets not only in terms of price, but also in terms of materials and technologies. For example Liquid silicone vibrators are manufactured only in China, although it is a technology purchased in 2019 from Germany (at least from the Chinese brand Mrimin). In the West, production simply doesn't pay off, and often so does the development. Renowned Western companies like PipeDream and Doc Johnson offer 10, 20 year old products until people stop buying it for that expensive money. Mostly also made in China. Most of the erotic toys in our country, as well as European distributors and sex shops, are therefore from China, including the world's best-selling branded German Satisfiers.
