Every Tokyo sex shop is unique in its own way, but M’s Pop Life takes the crown for being the one with the biggest selection. The narrow seven-storey flagship store has become something of a landmark in Tokyo’s Electric Town, Akihabara.
Though you may think you’ve seen it all, trust us, there’s merchandise displayed here that even a seasoned sex shopper won’t have encountered. There are dildos made to resemble corn on the cob (among other vegetables), fleshlights modelled from the orifices of popular pornstars and rotating vibrators that whirl so violently they could be flagged as a safety hazard.
It’s not all as extreme as some of those kinky contraptions, though. There’s an impressive selection of tasteful vibrators that could be mistaken for ornamental trinkets as well as a fairly tame selection of blindfolds and paddles for couples ready to dip their toes into S&M play.
