It is very surprising that any sort of sex industry exists
in Ireland, but the fact that it exists at all is refreshing,
after too many years of sexual repression by those catholic
church types that tell everybody else not to have sex,
but don’t practice what they preach.

There are a few sex shops in the city centre. Some have
dvds from E30, which isn’t bad for a film that you’re
definitely going to watch a lot more times than most
Hollywood films. The more expensive ones are not worth
the money, as they offer nothing more in length or quality.
(Ew! Eh! Matron!)

If you’re interested in this type of smut, check out
the shops on Capel Street and William Street.
There is also one beside Centra on
Dame Street (basement level).

These shops usually sell Fetish clothes,
magazines, sex paraphernalia, dildos, vibrators,
sex pills, condoms etc…

If strippers and lap-dancing is your vice, the majority of these dens are on Leeson Street and there is also one beside Centra on Dame Street.

If you’re totally bonkers (no pun intended), and you
think that sex has to include giving or receiving pain (what the fuck is that all about??? – ed.) or you just want to observe the freaks from a safe distance, (recommended), there is a Fetish night in The Voodoo Lounge on. Arran Quay.

This night is only run once every few weeks, and you will have to check the local listings to catch when it’s on. This event/night is called Nimeneach.
