Unlike in other parts of the country, brothels are illegal in South Australia. Some brothels have been running for more than 30 years whilst other newer venues have opened in light of the active reform campaigns to decriminalise sex work in SA.
In this guide, we take a look at the closest thing you will find to a licensed brothel, including establishments that operate as erotic massage parlours. The law does not permit them in SA. Given the legal status of brothels in Adelaide, not many venues will openly advertise full service. And if they do, we suggest you stay away from them! In cases where full service is not available, Adelaide punters rely on massage shops, AMPs and other adult establishments instead.
For a while, we had hope that SA would amend the existing laws to allow a regulated and safer sex trade. The Statutes Amendment Decriminalisation of Sex Work Bill was a significant piece of legislation introduced in South Australia aimed at decriminalizing sex work in the state. The bill sought to amend various statutes to remove criminal penalties associated with sex work, effectively decriminalizing the profession and providing better protections for sex workers. Nor is there a regulated red light district.
Blue Room Babes is a popular bordello alternative. There are over 45 Adelaide beauties listed on their roster page with most having photos and a brief bio available to view. You can also check the site for the availability via the roster but it is recommended that you call ahead to double check that your chosen hostess is available. Another erotic massage parlour on Fullarton, Eden is a popular massage and relaxation centre where you can indulge in a luxury spa bath with their fine selection of local girls.
The premises are well maintained and reasonably modern, offering several fantasy rooms, a seven seater spa plus private meeting area. There are 19 girls registered on the Eden website as offering adult services in their Adelaide salon although the roster details are not regularly updated. A well-known erotic massage parlour, listed as temporarily closed but with an active website. Note that The Erotic specifically states not to expect any full service from their masseuses.
