Come As You Are Co-operative Founded as a worker-owned co-operative in 1997 and winner of Toronto's Best Sex Shop!
(261)

Founded as a worker-owned co-operative sex shop in 1997, we have a fundamentally anti-capitalist and feminist approach to sexual pleasure, health, and education. Unlike most retailers, we don't make commission and we don't profit from your purchases. We review every sex toy, book, and DVD we stock and we ONLY carry products that we truly believe in.

Kai Cheng Thom (she/her) MSW, MSc, Qualified Mediator, Certified Professional Jungian Life Coach, and Certified Somatic S*x Educator, is a coach, process facilitator, and mediator whose work focuses on the intersections of trauma healing, Transformative Justice, and social change. A noted theorist and practitioner in the field of conflict resolution, Kai Cheng has made significant contributions towards the integration and application of conflict transformation, crisis intervention, and body-based trauma healing methods in an activist context through her writing and teaching

Ezra Cake (they/them) is a trauma-informed Registered Psychotherapist with 14 years in practice, offering s*x therapy, gender affirming care, and support for the sometimes complicated business of living in a body. They work primarily with q***r, trans and gender diverse people. Much of Ez’s work begins with something that feels unwanted: a body that changes the plan, desire that doesn’t behave, or a way of protecting oneself that also gets in the way. Ez is curious about what happens when the stories we tell about ourselves meet what our bodies have learned—and what becomes possible when both receive our care.

Lilin (she/they) is a trauma-informed bodyworker, intimacy practitioner, and co-owner of the award winning, feminist s*x shop Come As You Are Co-operative. Nearing professional certification with the Institute for the Study of Somatic S*x Education, Lilin blends her extensive background in health and social services into her private practice. She brings seven years of experience as a former registered midwife and over fifteen years of supporting survivors of gender-based violence in social service agencies. Centered on the core values of safety, agency, sacred s*xuality, and joy, her practice operates at the intersection of birth work and s*x work, drawing on the somatic wisdom of both lineages to foster personal and collective healing.
