There's something rather reassuring about Clonezone. It might be that they've been around for a long time, have a lot of experience and knowledge in their field, or perhaps it's just their honesty that comes through. There's no hiding what they're all about underneath any veneer of 'chic-come-highstreet' or 'lifestyle' respectability. They sell what they sell and have become very much part of, and highly supportive of, the LGBT community in the cities in which they are located.

Clonezone is an open invitation to explore your sexuality (although possibly not there and then, in the middle of the shop floor). The shelves are stocked with erotica and sex toys that range from novice-tryout to ambitious proportions ("ooh", "aah" and "Oh My God!"), clothing and underwear for the club or the bedroom, books, CD's and adult videos and DVDs. Magazines range from no-nonsense to coffee table, although we're not really talking Hello here. It's obviously the perfect place to shop for a present, and you'll find a selection of wrapping paper and a huge selection of suggestive cards to accompany your gifts.

The shop also act as a hub for free gay press and to buy tickets to clubnights. it really is all there for you to peruse and probe your proclivities, with everything necessary for you to do so safely.

Go on - experience something new!
