Adelaide has more sex shops per capita than any other large city in Australia.
There are more than 20 adult entertainment shops in and around the city (and many more in the outer suburbs). Below we’ve handpicked our favourite Adelaide sex shops, adult stores and porn retailers. These are businesses known and loved, some with over 30 years of experience keeping Addie satisfied in the bedroom.
Times have moved on, and most shops now offer quick, discreet delivery. Some will even whizz your kinky purchases over in minutes via Uber Delivery! Nice. 🍆
A List of Popular Sex Shops In Adelaide
Why does Adelaide have so many damn sex shops?
It’s a mystery to us, especially considering the fairly conservative sex scene, but we’re not complaining!
With so much choice… comes so many different takes on the sex shopping experience. This list contains some super-friendly local businesses that go the extra mile to help their customers. It also contains a couple of old-school neon-lit sex shops near the CBD, which attract all creatures of the night. YMMV!
Beavers Adult Shop
353 Martins Rd, Parafield Gardens SA 5107
http://www.beaversadultshop.com.au
The aptly named ‘Beavers’ is an excellent mainstream adult toy store north of the city. Open from Monday to Saturday from 10am to 10pm they sell a wide range of pumps, strap-ons, masturbators and vibrators. The fetish range they stock is pretty diverse for a general sex shop and includes products from Asylum Play, Entice and Fetish Fantasy.
Plenty of parking is available on-site; however, the entrance is not discreet. It is on a parade of shops, including an auto parts stockist and hydroponics dealer. The shop is a little set back from the road.
A little pricy but good choice, and some excellent smutty DVDs.
Naughty But Nice Adult Boutique
4/623 Regency Rd, Broadview SA 508
The Naughty But Nice Boutique is one of Adelaide’s longest-established sex toy businesses, formerly known as the Regency Boutique (from the road where it is based). Professional staff, friendly atmosphere… this is one of the better sex shops in North Addie.
NBN stocks the popular range of We-Vibe products as well as lingerie from Dreamgirl and Hustler. Other popular brands include Lovense, Fleshlight and Lelo.
It’s open every day from 10am to Midnight.
Click and Collect is available when you shop via their website.

Adult Bliss Erotica
1-2/397 -399 Glen Osmond Rd, Glen Osmond SA 5064
https://adultblisserotica.com.au
“I found things in here I didn’t even know existed…” describes one starstruck SA punter. 😂
Adult Bliss over in Glen Osmond has a reputation as one of the best adult stores in all of South Australia, with one of the most friendly and knowledgeable owners. The reviews for this place are exceptional.
While the shop itself is extensive with couple toys, rabbit vibrators, wants and penis pumps, you can head online and get any of their stock delivered same-day in discreet and eco-friendly packaging.
Popular brands stocked include Fleshlight, Love In Leather, Dreamgirl and Poison Rose.
Everything about this shop is customer-first, right down to the opening hours. To avoid any confusion, they are conveniently listed as 10am to 12:01am!
The Vibe Adult Shop
126 Unley Rd, Unley SA 5061
https://www.thevibeadultshop.com.au
Open daily from 10am to midnight, seven days a week, the Vibe Adult Shop in Unley is a discreet sex shop that is female—and gay-friendly. It’s one of the friendliest adult stores in Adelaide, run by nonjudgmental staff who are always happy to help.
Stockists of the fastest-selling dance pole in Australia, X-Pole, the Vibe has a good range of quality products from manufacturers such as We-Vibe and Leg Avenue. Their prices are competitive, and the service is highly rated. They sell a range of traditional toys such as vibrators, dildos, dongs and essential hygiene and healthcare products.
The fetish range is relatively softcore and not specialist, but it does offer amateur enthusiasts access to the world of BDSM and kinky roleplay. Catering for lovers of XXX DVDs, magazines and books, The Vibe is an adult boutique with a solid reputation.
Current bestsellers include the Satisfyer Pro 2 and the Sensuelle Impulse (Purple model). They have some interesting miscellaneous items, including Jenna’s Perfect Pair, a love swing (pretty popular, we’re told!), and various vibrating pumps suitable for beginners.
Black Knight Erotica
2 Kilkenny Rd, Kilkenny SA 5009
https://www.blackknighterotica.com.au
This kinky store is almost unmissable with its industrial battleship grey walls on the corner of Kilkenny Rd.
Black Knight offers a range of intimate products for couples and novelty items for bucks and hen nights. They’ve got a couple of great deals on the Satisfyer Pro 2, and an excellent selection of sex furniture — from bondage tables to sex swings.
The range is traditional with no specialisms; however, there are some fun kits for couples, such as the Sex & Mischief range – door play, doggie style strap and bondage kits. You can get erotic lingerie, costumes and novelty items on top of the adult toy range.
Better yet, Black Knight has a unique Express Delivery service via Uber Delivery. If you really need to get your hands on a particular item, but you’re too lazy or shy to venture over to Kilkenny, an Uber driver will do the running for you. Nice.
Opening hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 10:30am to Midnight
- Friday to Saturday: 10:30am to 1am
- Sunday: Noon to Midnight
Erotic Desires
153 Grand Jct Rd, Ottoway SA 5013
Open daily from 10am to 10pm, Erotic Desires stocks a range of men’s and women’s sex toys but does not specialize in anything beyond general vibrators, strap-ons, dildos and dongs.
However, they do sell the Caesar, My Pleasure and Love Glider sex machines as well as swings. You can also purchase oils, lotions and lingerie. Service can be hit and miss.
Club X
348 King William St, Adelaide SA 5000
73 Hindley St, Adelaide SA 5000
Happy to venture towards the neon lights?
Club X is a nationwide outlet selling a huge range of products across its stores. With two stores in Adelaide, both are well stocked with a variety of sex toys designed to spice up your love life.
Stocking premium brands such as Empire Labs, Twisted Toys, Womanizer and We-Vibe, the quality is high and the prices are fairly competitive (although you can expect to pay a CBD premium).
Club X is known for stocking a little bit of everything.
It’s not for the heavy-duty BDSM fetishists, but if you are looking to ‘add a little spice’ to the bedroom, then you can find plenty of suitable toys and gear here, including many of the bestselling adult brands in Australia.
Club X in the CBD has a somewhat notorious peek-a-view theatre, which attracts some interesting characters (and randy swingers). A hot spot for cruising, the proximity to Adelaide’s unofficial red light district makes this a slightly more unpredictable store to visit than most.
