Come As You Are Co-operative

Come As You Are is a sex-positive sex shop located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was founded in 1997 by Cory Silverberg as a worker-owner cooperative in the model of the United States-based Good Vibrations. The bricks-and-mortar store on Queen Street West closed in 2016, but opened a new location in Kensington Market in 2020.[1] Come As You Are has an educational and community-based mandate, to provide a store where people can access sex information and products.[2] The sex-shop worked for making sex toys more accessible for disabled people.[3]

Come As You Are has consistently been voted as one of Toronto's best sex shops by the readers of Now Toronto.[1]

Education[edit]

Come As You Are offers sex education, health workshops by sex-positive authors and educators, including Susie Bright, and others.[4]

The co-op also provides education outreach workshops to local community groups and universities. In 2013, Come As You Are won The Co-operators' National Co-op Challenge with a proposal to bring their educational outreach to communities across Canada.[5]
