Fyshwick Sex Shops

A friend of mine and I went down to Canberra at the weekend, or to be more specific to Fyshwick to visit the sex shops. The visit to Parliament House, the bird on a stick and the wineries were a nice diversion, but I was on a mission. I wanted a strap-on!

After asking the advise of a few mates that I know have spent time perusing the smut purveyors of the ACT and coming up with, ’I only know how to get there if I’m driving,’ and ‘Ohh there’s a really good one near Harvey Norman.’ We decided to go in blind.

So here, I pass my knowledge to you;
Hello Sexy – Corner Gladstone/Wollongong Street : New and with a great selection of shoes, outfits and video/dvd. Currently not a huge selection of toys, but loads of stocking and leather wear.
Adam & Eve – 107 Gladstone Street : Huge, claims to be the largest sex shop in Australia. Seemed to be unpacking still. Massive selection of toys, books, magazine, games, you name it, they had it.
Fantasy Lane – Molonglo Mall : more of a gay sauna than a sex shop. Heaps of gay porn on VHS and dvd.
----- Ranch – Molongo Mall : Can’t remember the first part of name, but you see it as you drive in. Seedy place with mostly videos and a few blow up dolls.
XXX Adult Shop – Gladstone Street. This unimaginatively name shop was just as it promised. An adult shop, but it had more prank stuff than toys or crops.
There was another one too, but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was called, but it was just across the street from the Molongo Mall exit on Newcastle street. It was small, but had a nice selection and a really cool logo. It was also conveniently next to a hobby shop. Ironic really!

And yes... I did acquire a strap-on, plus I got a Rabbit, a small suede flogger and a couple of books. My friend got a lovely new cock vibrator.

As a long term Canberra resident i have to say IMHO the adult shops here don't offer much.
They're owned and run by men with a focus on traditional sex roles be it straight or gay.
The best Adult shop i've found in Oz for people with a more imaginative bent was in Melbourne, Dvice in Bridge Rd Richmond.
The quality, fit and look of their strap-ons are superb ;)
For more details on these and their other stock checkout: http://www.dvice.com.au

Have only just come across your blog but i like what you have to say, will make a point of checking it out regularly now.

Thank you for you comment.

As a resident of Syndey I really should have just shopped locally, we have some great sex shops that cater for all types of freaks like me.

But I had been told by a girlfriend that Canberra was the place to go, so I checked it out.

Maybe I should do a similar list for Sydney?
