Want to know more about kinks and fetishes in Auckland?
It is estimated that around 1 in 7 Kiwis are into an alternative lifestyle when it comes to their sex lives. Whether this is swinging or partaking in some kind of fetish, the number of people into something kinky is more prevalent than many people realise. BDSM covers a wide range of tastes including Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism and, since the global success of 50 Shades of Grey, has reached a more mainstream audience over the last decade. Auckland has a good reputation for its BDSM scene and has plenty to offer kinksters on New Zealand’s north shore.
In this feature, we take a look at what the BDSM community has to offer in Auckland. We detail the clubs, dungeons and dominatrix services as well as looking at the best BDSM sex shops and online communities.
BDSM in Auckland
The BDSM community is largely a diverse one and can include people who identify anywhere on the gender or sexuality spectrum; gay or straight, CD/TV/TS/TG and pretty much anything in between. In fact, the kink community are probably one of the most open-minded and liberal groups who live by the motto, ‘YKINMKBYKIOK (Your kink is not my kink, but your kink is okay).
Though most people who practice the BDSM lifestyle are pretty private, there are a few publicly listed services and groups where you can break into the Auckland BDSM scene.
Dungeon Hire
We’ve tried to be pretty comprehensive here and found both professional dungeon spaces as well as swinging clubs that have dungeons within their venue. The latter often have formal arrangements for regular events and parties that may not suit your needs but they may be able to offer exclusive dungeon hire outside of these times.
Some of the dungeons available to hire in Auckland can be booked inclusively with the services of a resident Mistress or they may be able to arrange slaves for you. Don’t forget to check out the Dominatrix services below as many professional Doms/Dommes have their own studios.
Studio de Sade
Located just a 10-minute drive from the centre of Auckland and a 5-minute walk from a main trains station, Studio de Sade covers an intimate 60 sqm of space. The venue is decorated in a traditional gothic style with black and red décor.
They offer a comprehensively equipped BDSM dungeon for hire in Auckland and the studio has a whole range of bondage equipment including full-size cage, bondage couch, spanking bench and bondage table with cut-out holes for various body parts.

The club is open Wednesday to Saturday nights for regular events but may be open to offers for private hire outside of these times. If not, then the parties themselves do offer some opportunity for BDSM play, albeit on the more amateur side of things.

BDSM Sex Shops
There are quite a lot of mainstream sex shops in Auckland including the chain store, Peaches & Cream, who do have several branches in the city. However, the BDSM range at these kinds of store are usually pretty ‘vanilla’.
