SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Vibrations, the Bay Areas
legendary destination for sex toys, personal care products and accurate sexual
information, announces the opening of a new store in the "other city by the
bay" -- Boston. After almost thirty years of being an exclusive west coast
retailer, we will open our doors on January 20, 2006 in the Coolidge Corner
area of Brookline, a community adjacent to Boston.

months and feel that the greater Boston area is the best selection for our
first step in our overall expansion plans," asserts Theresa Sparks, General
Manager of Good Vibrations.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently over
400,000 college students in the greater Boston area, meaning that in one out
of eight US college students reside in the vicinity. "Good Vibrations was
founded on the premise of providing up-to-date sexual education to all who
sought it and naturally we have worked in partnership with all the Bay Area
colleges and universities. Partnering with and serving the 45 plus Boston
area colleges and universities is a natural next step for us," Sparks
concludes.
Good Vibrations was the first company in the industry to employ a doctor
of human sexuality. Carol Queen, PhD, Staff Sexologist, has been with Good
Vibrations for sixteen years and is well known worldwide for her nine books,
sex education videos, and a multitude of television appearances, hundreds of

Vibrations has always offered since the first store was opened," Carol Queen,
PhD says adding, "Im thrilled that we have finalized our new location and
will be able to open before Valentines Day."

Good Vibrations History
In 1977, dismayed by the lack of resources for women seeking accurate sex
information and good quality sex toys, the first Good Vibrations retail store
was opened in San Francisco. It was the first of its kind, a friendly, clean,
well-lighted alternative to the conventional "adult" bookstore. The store
flourished over the years due to word of mouth and a faithful clientele.
