  News from Alister, April 2007: Closing

John Winters is now closing/closed and is listed for sale with a local estate agent

  From a reader:

John Winters is a friendly and helpful shop, if he does not have a item he will try and get it for you. You always feel welcome there

This is the first licensed sex shop in Aberdeen, and I must say, it is a very impressive business. The shop is discretely located in the busy George street area of Aberdeen, and is bright and clean. The staff are extremely helpful and the range of items on sale is large and impressive. Here one can legally buy R18 videos and DVDs, first generation, not copies. The prices are very reasonable and you can get very good deals. All videos and DVDs are exchangeable. New titles are regularly updated. I certainly recommend QT to anyone looking for first class adult material.

  From another reader:

QT is the most unfriendly shop in Aberdeen, you go in he looks at you as though you are rubbish. He does not make you welcome, even I have worked in a sex shop and I feel uncomfortable there. Anyway it is not a sex shop it is a video shop, not much in toys clothes etc only films

Lush Lingerie

From the shop, June 2006: A Modern Look

Lush Lingerie is the first licensed sex shop in the district! Achieved in November 2005 by two females! The shop is situated by the main bus stop.

Wooden floors and beech slatboards give the shop a modern look. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Loads of stock ranging from adult toys, R18 DVD's, novelties, erotic books and magazines to lingerie, clubwear and fancy dress! Stock is very competitive with DVD's ranging from £20 - £40.

Personal Lines is just down the road from the train station and I was surprised how well they've packed out the inside. There were a few business-men in there when I went in during the day. It's part of an international company apparently, and the guy behind the counter is friendly, helpful and can be approached easily (although he doesn't initially come across quite way). He helped me out with one item I was curious about to show me what it looked like and gave an honest opinion.

There was a little of the sales patter to someone else (sounded like a regular?) but not overdone. It seems to be mostly DVD/videos, with a good selection of dolls and vibes for the size of shop, a wall devoted to magazines, and one smaller section of clothing (usual maids/other type outfits and stockings, masks, whips).

Reader's comments:

The shop has now been extended, has a very good selection of films, DVD and video, the gentleman was very helpful on my purchases, and my wife was very happy on the amount of choice of the toys which were available.

The Private Shop is on the outskirts of the town centre and staffed when I went in there by a lady, the manager wasn't there at the time. There's a whole room for DVDs/videos and some more in the main room too and you're welcome to browse at your leisure, I was encouraged to check them out and mostly at £40, or £60 for 2.

A table was set out at one end of main room with leaflets and flyers for pole-dance-tutors, events and sex-related services. Quite a bit of bondage gear, fair selection of toys (I was taken with the good selection of anal love balls) and there were some leather (I presume) boots on display in various colours. A few of the outfits are on display on mannequin bodies  and there was a TV on a normal channel ( so it was quite relaxing - don't know if that was ever used for showing any of their videos.

Open Monday to Saturday 9am till 9pm

From the shop:

This may be the smallest licenced sex shop in the UK. It measures a mere 10ft X 7ft, but it is packed with a full range of sex toys. It also stocks over 200 different titles of R18 Video's & DVD's. (seeing is believing).

We have ample free parking outside, so no need to pay town car park prices.

Recently moved from the Arcade in Woodthorpe Rd to a bigger shop

From the shop:

We sell a great range of Toys and Clothing at really low prices and we are the 1st of our kind locally. We also sell smoking products!

Reported as closed

From Philip

The shop is unlicensed and the displays are a bit of a jumble. There were no R18 titles in stock; the (very obliging) lady suggested I try mail-order from 'Private' and proceeded to give me a page from a mag with all the Private shops listed.

I think I'll give this one wide berth until it's licensed and is obviously not in the mould of the other shops in the chain.

  Review from Pat, Feb 2007: Behind Bars

I went to this shop purely because of the write up on this site, and I have to agree with the comments already submitted.

All the DVD’s are upstairs and priced at £25, (though they are not in defined category area’s and are scattered randomly).

The downstairs has an enormous amount of toys and clothing; there is even a dungeon area, that they have given appropriate lighting to, and set behind ‘bars’, to give the right atmosphere to those who wish to buy that sort of gear.

The lady serving was none pushy, friendly, and had a very good sense of humour, really putting me at my ease. When I’m back in the area, I will definitely be revisiting this shop.

  Reader review, September 2006: Good Advice

Can only echo what's already been written but have to comment on just how helpful, knowledgeable and approachable the owners are.

I went to the shop in Sep 06 with my girlfriend looking to buy some toys. The male owner gave the most comprehensive run down of lubes possible and got us to try each to see their effects and then showed us around the toys and let us try out what we wanted - no not like that!

When it was obvious that minds hadn't been made up he even called his wife to see what she advised and she came back to the shop to give her 'expert' opinion.

Purchases successfully bought we went home to enjoy and I can only say - very good advice!

I'd happily recommend this shop to anyone wanting a relaxed and non intimidating environment to explore the fun side of life. Excellent way to shop, well done and thanks.

  Reader review: Industry View

As someone working in the industry I see a rather large selection of shops of varying quality both licensed and unlicensed across the UK and have to admit that this new store in a quiet industrial estate with ample parking is one of the best and is now fully licensed to sell R18 DVDs.

This sex superstore has vast and clearly marked sections for lingerie, toys, bdsm etc.

There are both male and female staff who are extremely friendly and helpful, the shop is bright and fresh with plenty of room to browse and where you don't feel at all under pressure. The prices are lower than average but you don't feel that quality has been sacrificed for price.

This is the way all adult stores should be!

Review June 2006

I was in bodystyle at the weekend it has been a while since I was in. Waaaaawooo what a difference its got vibro to sexy underwear. Good for them its a lovely friendly shop.

Reader Review

I have bean in a few sex shops up and down the country which I have found most very dark and dinghy. How refreshing, Bodystyle is very bright and modern excellent range of lingerie and of all the toys in a very good location at the top of the town. The lady behind the counter is very helpful and pleasant to chat to, all ages where coming and going when I was in and would certainly recommend this shop highly.
