Shanghai's Best, Worst and Weirdest Sex Shops

Asia has long been renowned for it’s bizarre sex stuff, whether it be full-sized human dolls that groan when touched or ping pong shows. But Shanghai is a sophisticated city, right? Surely there will be no weirdness here and just sex toys of a refined and classy manner that could pass as decorative figurines. WRONG. Shanghai has all the weird and freaky stuff and I got to go look at it all. Here is a list of the best and WORST sex shops shanghai has to offer.

The Best – V-Spot

The best sex shop by FAR is V-Spot on the corner of Xinle Lu and Fumin Lu it’s on the 5th floor so it feels really private. They cater to all kinda of tastes and desire yet the whole vibe is clean and classy. The shop assistants are really switched on and can explain the pros and cons of all the products. It also has a really female-friendly vibe. Some of the places I went to made me feel like I needed dark glasses and a trench coat. V-Spot is the opposite of this. Female sexuality is there and it’s catered to a progressive and open crowd. It’s everything you could want from a sex shop.

Address: 5FL, 218 Xinle Lu

Next Up – My Honey

My Honey on Jiazhou Lu, not as classy as V-Spot but it stocks a really great range of products. Stay away from the ‘sexy’ outfits which are likely to go up in flames if rustled about on the bed too much. But the vibrator selection was excellent, stocking really high-end products from LELO and We-Vibe that are priced well. They also have cheaper variations of these toys but I would seriously suggested you consider the quality of anything you’re going to put into your body. They also stock a selection of Japanese dildos that kinda look like tentacles… but if that’s your thing, you go girl.

Middle ground – Erotic Toy Collection

This sex shop hosts a large collection of nylon outfits and tentacle toys, but the opening hours are odd. I had to drop in 4 times to catch it open and then the shop assistant looked at me like I was an alien the entire time I was there.

Address: 342 Changle Lu

The Worst – Hua Guang Sex Health

OMG. This place is the worst. Don’t go there. Unless you like hairy pocket pussies and bad service - in which case, fill your boots. I have been driving past this place for ages as assumed it was some kind of medical STD check place. It 100% is not. The shop assistant is wearing a lab coat, which is weird. But that’s where all things medical end. They pretty much sell nothing but pocket pussies and when I went in the shop assistant yelled at me and chased me out. I think it’s men only.

Address: Corner of Julu Lu and Shaanxi Lu

The Weirdest – Kaixuan Men Daxia (Sex Mall)

This is probably the weirdest one. Did you know there is a sex mall in shanghai? Believe it or not, it’s not that glamorous. It’s the top floor of a Chinese medicine mall and it is pretty creepy. They stock pretty much everything you can ever imagine that could go in or around your body. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here are our ten favorite.

Pants for tiny people.

Use your imagination…

Glass butt plugs.

This is very, very explicit and very very furry.

Sleeping beauty

This is anatomically incorrect…

Ain’t life a bag of dicks.

Cupping her own breast…

Fifty shades of literally every color.

Had to "Bing" it to help explain to my Chinese colleague the principals behind cock cages… fun fun.

Address: 428 Tianmu Zhong Lu

Happy shopping friends!
