A Sex Shop Without Pornography Or Power Tools - Launch of Red Ambrosia, The First Upscale Sensual Boutique

www.redambrosia.com is the first sophisticated sensual boutique offering romantic inspiration and luxurious pleasures. Red Ambrosia features artisan-crafted specialty items from around the world. The focus is on distinctive products that arouse all of the senses including fine erotic art, all-natural botanical based bath, body, massage and lovemaking products and Signature Gift Box Collections.

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) October 28, 2004 -- When thinking about the typical American sex shop, pornography, power tools and plastic-coated toys inevitably spring to mind, even in mainstream, woman-centered adult retail. Red Ambrosia is challenging this trend by introducing an online boutique that eschews x-rated films and power tools in favor of refined pleasures to inspire and arouse the senses.

By promoting a broad range of sensual accessories that are focused on more than just direct sexual stimulation, Red Ambrosia aims to help people tune into their senses of sound, smell, sight, taste and touch as a means of enhancing arousal, romance and intimacy. Owner Aimee Vorhaus says, Viewing pornography is a personal preference. But I believe it is numbing on a cultural level -- its dulling our senses. Sensuality can be so much richer and more satisfying; so much lovelier."

In lieu of pornography, Red Ambrosia offers seven categories of fine sensual goods:

· Arousing Art -- includes sensual paintings, nude sculpture, erotic prints

· Sensuous Body -- features 2 lines of natural botanical bath, body, massage and lovemaking products

· Sumptuous Textures -- includes luxury silk bed linens, cashmere robes, silk pajamas

· Seductive Ambiance -- includes specialty aromatherapy candles, sensual music

· Erotic Library -- features a hand-picked assortment of books and instructive videos

· Intimate Play -- includes adult games, functional erotic glass art, ostrich plumes and fur mitts

· Romantic Gifts -- includes artisan chocolates, a lovers picnic basket, custom gift box collections

Considered to be the first high-end boutique of sensual retail, Red Ambrosia caters to a sophisticated and discerning consumer who looks for unique, quality items that cannot be found everywhere. Red Ambrosia expects its appeal will be greatest among women and couples between the ages of 30 and 60. While indebted to the pioneering adult shops of the past 25 years which made it acceptable for women to explore their sexuality, Red Ambrosia recognizes a current need for products more elevated than the mass-merchandise, plastic sex-toys filling the shelves of most sex shops. Mature, affluent consumers are enjoying new sexual possibilities, largely due to the proliferation of Viagra and Cialas, not to mention the legacy of Sex and the City, and they seek adult retail that reflects their upscale tastes and needs. This is why the time has never been better for Red Ambrosia to make its debut.

Red Ambrosia is based in Berkeley, California and can be found on the web at www.redambrosia.com

Owner Aimee Vorhaus is 32 years-old and has a Masters degree from Brown University in Cultural Anthropology where she studied gender and sexuality. Together with her husband she has personally sampled most of the products featured in the online boutique.
