KMK: Adult Shop

Shopping Stores

EDITORS NOTE:

I can confirm the adult shop by the Cheil building is gone, but fear not there is another one in Itaewon. Go to Noksapyeong exit two. Walk straight until you come to the underground tunnel. Go down and come up the other side. Keep heading the direction you were walking in. You will see the convenience store GS 25 on the corner. Keep walking with GS 25 on your right side. In front of you there will be an overhead bridge walkway. Under that bridge on your right is the shop!

Address: 713 Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu (new street address: 녹사평대로 246, or 246 Noksapyeong-dae-ro).

Phone: 010-4181-0469

 

As a fundamental component of the human condition you’d think that sexuality would be celebrated. Sadly society more often than not clings to a puritanical mindset that seeks to shame, stifle and control rather than explore, understand and embrace. Of course that’s just on the surface. Take a peek under the stodgy moral facade and the societal chastity belt shows signs of fraying.

Just take a look inside Condomania in Hongdae. They’ve turned the idea of a sex shop upside down by shying away from the stereotypical nondescript storefronts with dimly lit interiors located in out of the way places and instead embraced a fun and chirpy aesthetic of neon colors, wacky slogans, with an almost Disney-esque presentation.

The Adult Shop located in Itaewon falls somewhere in between those two extremes. Sure, the Adult Shop may not have a quirky name like Condomania but it also isn’t situated in some run down back alley accessible only by running through a gauntlet of meth heads, discarded needles, and cantankerous ladies of the night. The Adult shop doesn’t do skittle flavored condoms in a rainbow of colors. On the other hand it does have several variety of dildos in different sizes and colors including life sized replicas of your favorite porn star’s manhood. You see, it resides in a comfortable middle ground.

The Adult Shop doesn’t pretend to be anything more than what it is. Inside you can find all the bare essentials for a fun healthy sex life. The shelves are lined with lubricants, condoms, femmedoms, rings, dildos, and vibrators. There are even some extra goodies to explore the more adventurous side of your sexuality like lingerie,fleshlights, masks, harnesses, whips,cuffs, dolls and more.

You can find these adult shops all across the city. Sometimes the sign is in English but you can also look for 성인용품 in Korean. Another adult shop can be found in the upscale neighborhood of Gangnam. It’s sort of out of the way but you can find it by going out of Exit 6 of Gangnam Station, then walk straight to the Body Shop store. Make a left there and go the first intersection and make another left and immediately on your right and up about five floors will be the adult shop.

Of course you can always try online shopping if you want to maintain a bit more privacy. In that case you can check out adult toys on www.Gmarket.com, yes, gmarket.

To find the Adult Shop in Itaewon take exit 2 of Itaewon station. Walk straight until you reach the IP Boutique hotel. It’s kitty corner from there. So cross the street until you are on an angle to the IP Boutique. Then it will be on the second floor of the row of stores. Look for the sign.

    1. I think you’re best bet would be to try google, or daum, or even g market. You can get a lot of stuff on the x rated section of g market. I’m not in Busan enough to point you in the right direction. If you were in Seoul i could be a lot more help!

    2. http://www.bururu.me
      hey you can shop your adult toy from this link.
      Within korea, Orders at Bururu.me typically arrive within 1-3 working days via express carriers such as Korea post.All products are discreetly packaged with no direct mention of the nature of the products inside.

  1. I’m having trouble getting through 19 and older security block on Gmarket when trying to order adult toys, condoms, or lube. Do you know how to navigate through the security measures in English?

    1. It’s been awhile since I looked at it, but from you’re profile information you should have access. If not there is usually a box to check or click signifying that you are over 18.

        1. Hey wonder if you’d do a post about Bururu Adult toy shop either one in Haebangchon or one in Myongdong ?

    1. I think maybe try one in haebangchon area They should have pretty wide range of Fleshlight products there. If not,
      Try one in Myongdong Area they have a pretty Large store Close to Myongdong Station Exit 3 https://www.google.co.kr/maps/dir/”/%EB%B6%80%EB%A5%B4%EB%A5%B4+%EC%95%84%EC%9A%B8%EB%A0%9B/@37.5585763,126.914977,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m8!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x357ca2f0abacad43:0x712712e4ae4eb933!2m2!1d126.985017!2d37.558597

  2. I cannot find that shop in Gangnam. A friend and I tried but the directions we got were strange. They keep saying Gangnam exit 6 but Exit 6 is on the red part of that line and there is a body shop right next to it. We followed the rest of the directions and there was nothing there. Where is this shop?

  3. I used privatetoyz.com and never received my order, and a recording in korean when I tried to call their “customer service” line. They sent me an email from a fake gmail account, and I may be having issues with my bank account because of them. I used the website because of this article, and I recommend taking the link down to avoid future problems.

    1. Thanks for the update!
