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. Come As You Are has an educational and community-based mandate, to provide a store where people can access sex information and products. The sex-shop worked for making sex toys more accessible for disabled people.

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

Education

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

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.
