Welcome to the UK's number one adult shop…read more Taboo sells products linked to one of the nation's favourite pastimes that is also probably the most, erm, taboo. SEX! There, I said it! Oh my God, oh my God!! They've got vibrators, "adult" DVDs, sex aids and fetish gear. Taboo is not some seedy back street affair: far from it. It brings an element of fun and dare I say it, class into the sex lives of Brighton folk and those further a field. Taboo banishes away the notion that you have to be some pervy old man in a mac to visit a sex shop - you can be gay, straight, male, female, or all of the above. There are many outfits to spice up your lovin' life, as well as a host of erotic toys and of course, the world-renowned "Rabbit". If people want to enjoy sex and take it to another level they shouldn't be ashamed. Taboo is a place where you can indulge but without feeling smutty. Go check it out for yourself. Sexy time - it's nice!!

Good range of goodies from things for novices to those that like it a little more kinky!…read more Of all the sex shops we visited in Brighton today, this was the only one you needed to get buzzed into. Didn't have what we were looking for, but worth a try. Their sister shop is called Lush down on Gardener Street (we visited there also, see separate review)

Okay, so I didn't exactly dare to go in. Someone go in and see what it's like!! The door put me…read moreoff, plus the fact that it was about 8am, so I don't think they were even open. If you want a sex shop then have a look, but this seems to be a much seedier affair than the glamour of Taboo. No, no, no, this much more of a dodgy buzzer and sunglasses job. Brown paper bag type vibe! All I can think about is that R. Kelly song - you know the one!?

Oh, just so much classier than Ann Summers…read more Lust sell 'erotic accessories' - sex toys, lingerie, books etc, but also shoes, jewellery and various novelty items and ornaments. This is a great, fun place just to look around - it's not 'just' a sex shop, so it's good for funny gifts for friends as well as for things you might want to reserve for your partner.

Lust is a cheeky little shop in the North Laine and has a wealth of saucy and funny items to pick…read moreup. The ground floor is filled with chocolate novelties of the adult variety whilst an exploration of the top floor (the equivalent of top shelf produce) has a number of interesting items to keep things lively in the bedroom. The staff are cool and will put those of a slightly more shy nature at ease. A good shop to pick up an adult present for your partner or to buy a comedy gift for a friend.

The Staff were all very sweet and helpful. My friend and I arrived yesterday to try on some…read morebikinis. The staff were very cheery and accommodating to any wish we had, from grabbing new sizes of bikinis, finding us towels and hats that match out swimsuits, rearranging things so we can pay and try the clothes on quickly. The only thing that could have done with a touch up is the outdated and tired-looking changing rooms. The lighting did not help us with wanting to purchase many of the bikinis as it was very unflattering. It doesn't make much sense for a sex/underwear shop to have poor changing rooms or lighting. One more thing I'd like to mention is the fact that the air con had been broken a few days. The poor staff were suffering in 25+ degree heat whilst running around like headless chickens for us. Please pleaaassse get these fixed to help your staff and customers!!! Thanks to the amazing, epic, cheery staff for everything they did for us! I wish I had their names so I could mention them!

When Ann Summers first opened many moons ago there was a lot of heated debate about wether their…read moreeye catching window displays were too risque. Now, there seems to be an Ann Summers on most high streets across the country and they're widely accepted as the place for women to go for sexy underwear. Personally, I wouldn't be seen dead in one of their babydolls but a lot of ladies can't seem to get enough of them - hence the 3 stars. They also sell lace and silk corsets, thongs, matching bra and nickers and for those wanting to take things a step further, lubricants, lotions, vibrators, dildos and their best selling, rampant rabbits. Personally, if I wanted to buy something special for the boudoir I'd rather go to Agent Provocateur but for those on a budget, Ann Summers is probably a good starting point.

If the list bewilders you, keep on walking, it's not the store for you!

Prowler is an all round gay and lesbian sex shop which caters for all senses and body parts. As…read morewell as dildos of every shape and colour, there are also books, underwear for all, rainbow striped goods, masses of DVD's and raunchy calenders. In the back room where all the sex toys and DVD's are, they have possibly the most enormous lump of latex in the world, I refer to it as 'the mountain I am not sure anyone could clime'. The staff are really helpful and lovely, which is great because such a massive selection of lubes can be daunting and confusing. If you are after something very particular, you will probably have luck here, if you can work out how to get it on. I like marveling at rubber clothing if just to work out the mechanics of it. Fun.
