When I park at Raohe night market at Bade just east of Jilong Rd., the best parking spot is often near a 10$ store and a packing materials / hardware store just across Bada from the western end of the night market (where the bronze owls are, not where the temple is). There are signs for such a shop right by the packing materials store, but I’ve never actually seen the shop (it’s not a streetfront shop), so I imagine it’s tucked inside the building somewhere. I don’t remember if the sign was in Chinese but you might need to be able to read Chinese in order to follow the directions on the sign to find the shop.
I’d try Shiny Imports … I hear that’s how Big Fluffy Matthew made mad cash. But I could be wrong.
What makes snake alley shops more revolting than other sex shops?
In Chinese, sex shops are called 情趣用品店 qingqu yongpin dian.
There’s one on the corner of Minsheng West Road and ?? Street (midway between Chengde Road and Ningxia Road where the night market is). There’s a police station on the other corner. Nearest MRT: Shuanglian. I did go in there once and bought a supply of cheap, government-approved condoms.
There’s another shop nearby that specialises in bondage gear. It’s on the west side of Chengde Road just south of the Minsheng West Road junction. You can spot it easily at night as it has a kind of orange fake flame thingy over the doorway.
And there are plenty more around. A lot of vibrators and the like are made either in Taiwan or in Taiwanese-owned factories in China.
I dunno if they’re sex shops, but definately DVD porn shops…
I was at Taipei county, Fu Ren catholic university and in that area, there was like a bit of porn dvd shops. haha, i dunno, just wanna say that. never been inside tho. I think that place is shing zwong.
near banchiao.
The thought of a Made in Taiwan vibrator gives me the shivers!!(bad shivers that is)
No, no, read the fine print. That’d be a Taiwan vibe manufactured in China. What could go wrong?

Go to The Taipei City Hall Station MRT, take exit 3 and walk up Zhongxaio road away from the downtown area. You will pass a firestation, then on your side of the road there are a lot of shops. There is a sex shop right in there, not too far down. Not sure about the actual quality, or seediness of the place, but see it when I’m out for walks. They have outfits and toys right in the window, so your… friend… should be able to find what they are looking for there.
Snake Alley other shops revolting, not the sex ones!
Thanks all for your replies. Will be telling my friend to check out your recommendations!
My girlfriend is currently using one of nice name: “Healthy massager” and doesn’t have any complaints, lol.
Her latest order is a strap-on, I hope it’s not gonna be used on me

It’s false advertising if you ask me.
That it is. Its an interesting browse with better quality than most local tack.
Good God! This is actually the German brand of vibrators that I expected never to see in TW 
Really, the yellow “Dinky Digger” is sooo cute, as is the green “Baby Bug” 
Cool find, thanks a lot!
What do you actually want from the sex shop? If you want toys, the shops in Snake Alley are overpriced. Try Shilin or Longshan night markets. Sexy underwear? There’s a small shop in Ximending that sells it for a fraction of the price. Sex shop underwear is usually made of cheap material (read rough and scratchy) and expensive because it’s marketed as “sex underwear”. Porno without blocks? Go into any porno with blocks shop and ask for it. They’ll take you into a seedy backroom a la Bangkok. There’s an excellent supplier in Snake Alley btw.
ps: A friend of a friend told me all this.
