Pleasure Lab

Gangnam & Southern Seoul


The second location of the first sex shop in South Korea designed for women, Pleasure Lab does its best to make sure that women feel safe to ask any questions. Run by two ladies willing to brave the industry, the shop sells a wide variety of dildos and vibrators, condoms, lingerie and books.

Unlike its Hapjeong location, the Garosu-gil location also has a section for men. Brightly lit and friendly, this sex shop is certainly a gem among the others. Stop by to have a look around, pick up an adult gift for yourself or just to ask questions about sex culture in Korea. Private consultations available by reservation.
