Welcome to knock first

Welcome to Knock First, the DC area’s premier destination for a unique and sophisticated shopping experience in the realm of adult toys and intimate pleasure. Founded by Kevin Bronfin, a local seasoned retailer with a lifelong commitment to providing exceptional service, Knock First is more than just a store; it’s a sanctuary where you can explore your adult desires with comfort and discretion.

Our journey

Kevin’s journey into the world of adult boutiques began with his extensive experience in retail, having previously owned successful local retail stores like The Complement (1-800-Luggage) and Apres Peau Lingerie in Montgomery County. His expertise in understanding the needs and preferences of customers in this vibrant community laid the foundation for his next venture.

A Collaboration That Inspired

A significant turning point occurred when Kevin embarked on a consulting project with a local chain of adult stores called Night Dreams, owned by Brenda Long. Together, they shared a vision of creating a more discreet and convenient destination for customers in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area. When the opportunity presented itself to open a new location in the Ritchie Center, just 3 miles from Night Dreams’ Bethesda store, they knew it was destiny calling.  Unfortunately, suddenly Brenda was unable to open the new location for personal reasons.

The Birth of Knock First

The vacant space in Ritchie Center lingered in Kevin’s thoughts, its potential too irresistible to ignore. With Brenda’s enthusiastic support, Knock First was born, with a unique merchandising twist – the “sex boutique” concept, adding a new dimension to the world of adult toy businesses.

Exquisite Inventory

At Knock First, you’ll find an exquisitely curated inventory featuring over 4000 items. Kevin’s discerning eye ensures that every item in the store is not only of the highest quality and design, but also surprisingly affordable. One of the features that makes us unique is that we have over 250 toys on display as “live testers” which enable you to explore and compare the different options available to enhance your love life.   Come discover these treasures for yourself.
