She Bop’s Blog
Welcome to She Bop, a pioneering adult boutique that first opened its doors in November 2009 in the Historic Mississippi District of North Portland. Founded with a vision to create a space dedicated to non-toxic body-safe toys, quality sensuality products, and exceptional books, She Bop quickly became a beloved fixture in the community. Such was the demand for their unique offerings that in 2014, a second location was established on SE Division St.
Sexual Education
What sets She Bop apart is its commitment to more than just retail. Beyond the traditional sex store experience, She Bop fosters an adult atmosphere that prioritizes sexual education, conscious business practices, and inclusivity. With a mission centered around exploration, inclusivity, community, empowerment, enjoyment, and education, She Bop invites individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, and social backgrounds to partake in their offerings.
At She Bop, inclusivity reigns supreme. While the boutique is indeed female-friendly, it is not exclusive to any one gender. Instead, She Bop welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities, emphasizing healthy sexuality as an integral aspect of everyday life. With a focus on gender-neutral language and pronouns, She Bop ensures that every visitor feels respected and valued.
Bop’s Commitment
The name “She Bop” itself is a testament to the boutique’s ethos. Inspired by Cyndi Lauper’s empowering song about masturbation and sexual freedom, the name embodies a message of liberation that transcends gender boundaries. Similarly, She Bop’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its eco-friendly product selection and support for local artisans and businesses.
Beyond retail, She Bop plays an active role in the community, hosting educational classes, workshops, and fundraising events. From sexuality-focused sessions to after-hours parties and binder fittings for teens, She Bop strives to foster a sex-positive environment where individuals can explore, learn, and connect.
Safe Sexuality
With a dedication to promoting healthy and safe sexuality, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, and other worthy causes, She Bop stands as a beacon of empowerment and advocacy in the Portland community and beyond.
