Forbidden Fruit Austin: The Legendary Sex-Positive Boutique That Keeps Austin Sexy
🍎 Welcome to Austin’s Pleasure Revolution
In this Beyond Monogamy Podcast episode, hosts Adam & Pris explore Forbidden Fruit, Austin’s most iconic sex-positive boutique. Owner Lynn Raridon opens up about how her store became a safe space for education, empowerment, and authentic connection.
💋 From Punk Rock to Pleasure: The Origin Story
In 1981, Austin’s counterculture scene birthed a bold idea — a store that celebrated sexuality without shame. By 1987, Lynn Raridon turned Forbidden Fruit Austin into a full-fledged movement. From home party sales and legal challenges to building a thriving community, Lynn helped normalize sexual wellness and ethical non-monogamy in Texas.
“Embrace your sexuality. It’s your own. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for what brings you joy, happiness, or self-fulfillment.” — Lynn Raridon, Forbidden Fruit
