Making love. Bumping uglies. Business time.

Whatever you want to call it, sex has become a part of our mainstream culture, as American as apple pie or Superbowl Sunday.

As Valentine's Day approaches, students in Orange County are preparing for a night of pleasure with their significant others. But how can you make this night more special than any ordinary Sunday? That's where the sex-perts at local pleasure shops come in "handy."

Sex store owners are preparing for a Valentine's Day unlike any other. Armed with lubricants and lingerie, these four local sex shops have all the ingredients you need in order to surprise your sweetie with a night they'll never forget.

Pink Kitty, located at 17955 Sky Park Circle in Irvine, has been pulling in new products in the past week to prepare for Valentine's Day.

Their newest line, "Sex in the Shower," has everything from shower-specialized toys to shower heads that will get your dirty mind clean in no time.

Pink Kitty specializes in creating perfect individualized gifts, so store owner Alysia Batchelder encourages people to stop by their Irvine store to check out the products.

"We try to talk to each person and gear them towards the products suited for them," said Batchelder. "Everyone is different, so its good to talk with a staff member to find what's going to work best for you." Pink Kitty also has coupons that appear each week in OC Weekly for students on a budget.

Phat Toys, the self-proclaimed "one stop love shop" on the corner of Redondo Avenue and East 7th Street in Long Beach, has a few promotions for Valentine's Day.

With a 15 percent discount on lingerie and a $20 deal for five movies (usually marked at $5.99 each), this shop has whatever you need to show your sweetheart a good time.

Store owner Chrystyle Lee recommends the Magic Power Coffee, an aphrodisiac beverage that will speed up your libido in no time.

Phat Toys also has coupons on its Web site, Phattoys.com, which are good for a variety of products in the store.

A Touch of Romance, located off Imperial Highway in Brea, is a popular shopping location for many Cal State Fullerton students, as it is conveniently located near campus.

So is Condom Revolution, a brightly-lit purple storefront just off the 55 freeway in Costa Mesa.

Both stores have stocked their shelves with all of the tasty treats one could desire. Instead of that cliché box of chocolates, why not give your Valentine a mini-pack of flavored lube?

Although visiting a sex shop can be intimidating for first-timers, all of the staff members at the above locations are ready with a cheerful hello and a smile to set those butterflies in your stomach at ease. They can help you find whatever it is you are looking for, from leather and lace to the slightly more risqué.

Don't worry about finding that perfect present to satisfy your date for Valentine's Day.

At these local sex shops, the products are gifts that just keep on giving.
