Located on Denmark’s Jutland peninsula, Aarhus is the country’s second-largest city and a major hub for trade, tourism, and education. With 270,000 residents and over a million annual visitors, it offers a lively entertainment scene. And that includes adult services.
Though not as famous for its red-light scene as Copenhagen, Aarhus has its share of brothels, escort agencies, and erotic massage parlors.
This guide covers everything you need to know about escorts, hookers, brothels and the myriad of sex services in Aarhus.
Sex In Aarhus
Aarhus Escorts Guide
Most escorts in Denmark operate independently but use the services of an internet database to advertise their services. Whilst there are quite a few Europe-wide web pages that offer the services of Danish escorts, there are a few Denmark specific escort portals too.
Unfortunately, due to the unclear legal status surrounding them, we are not able to list escort agencies or service providers in Denmark.
Prostitution in Denmark was fully decriminalized in 1999, though it had been tolerated for years before that. Both selling and buying sexual services are legal, but brothel operations and pimping remain illegal.
As a result, most escorts in Aarhus operate independently or through agencies, often advertising online for discretion.
Sex in Aarhus
We have to warn you in advance, the sex scene in Aarhus is smuch maller and more discreet compared to Copenhagen, which has the most established red-light district in Denmark.
While both cities operate under the same legal framework, where buying and selling sex are legal but brothels and pimping are not, Copenhagen offers a larger selection of escort services, massage parlors, and adult clubs. There’s really just no comparison.
In Aarhus, the sex industry is more underground. Most escorts are operating independently or through online platforms. There are fewer erotic massage parlors and no large-scale red-light district like in Copenhagen.
Compared to smaller Danish cities, Aarhus still offers more choices due to its size and population, but the industry remains low-key.
Aarhus Brothels
There are no legal brothels in Aarhus.
Some independent sex workers operate from shared apartments or private houses. These setups function similarly to a brothel, with multiple hookers working from the same location (often hours apart). Punters need to call or message in advance to arrange a visit, and walk-ins are rare.
Aarhus Swingers Clubs
G Club
Paradisgade 11, 8000 Aarhus C
The G Club is located centrally in the city inside a sex shop and cinema. As well as glory holes, dark room and private cabins there is also a TV room showing porn.
Furnished over two floors, the G Club is mainly a gay cruise venue but is open for couples and single women on Sundays.
The G Club is open Monday to Saturday from midday to 8pm and Sundays until 6pm.
Admission to the G Club is 100 Kr (€13) for men and couples
Joys
Elkjærvej 30, 8230 Åbyhøj
Located about 6km south west of Aarhus is the swing club, Joys. Open to single men and women as well as couples, Joys is an inclusive 450 sq. m play house for anyone looking for some extra-curricular fun.
The club has plenty of facilities to entertain their guests including a darkroom, sauna, S&M room and voyeur’s room complete with swings and gynaecological benches. Each of the private rooms shows pornographic material on loop and there is a bar in the main lounge area. A smoking cabinet is also provided.
The club is open as follows:
- Monday: 1pm to 12am (Bisexual evening for men and women)
- Tuesday 1pm to 12am (Honeymoon events for couples only)
- Wednesday and Thursday: 1pm to 12am (Swingers – all invited)
- Friday: 1pm to 1am (Swingers – all invited)
- Saturday: 5pm to 1am (Swingers – all invited)
- Sunday: 12pm to 8pm (Gay night)
Memberships are available but guests can pay by the visit with couples and single men paying 150 Kr (€20) or 200 Kr on Saturdays (€26) per visit.
Erotic Massage Parlours
Most erotic massage can be arranged with a specialist escort who provides these services. However, there are a couple of Tantra salons where you can get an erotic massage in a professional set-up.
Aarhus Strip Clubs
Crystal
Telefonsmøgen 6, 8000 Aarhus C
Crystal is Aarhus’s only strip club but offers good entertainment for the discerning solo traveller as well as being inviting to couples.
The club isn’t that large but they do have a reasonable selection of dancers though these do turn over pretty quickly as the talented girls head to Copenhagen. Dance routines are erotic and well-choreographed, often making the most of the central pole dancing stage in the bar. Lap dances and private dances can be arranged at an extra cost.

The place is advertised as an ’exclusive gentleman’s club’ but is less elite or up-market than those you would find in Norway or Denmark’s capital, Copenhagen.
Club opening hours are as follows:
- Tuesday and Wednesday: 10pm to 3am
- Thursday: 10pm to 4am
- Friday and Saturday: 10pm to 6am
Entrance costs 100 Danish Krone (€13) with drinks being pretty pricey (champagne starts at €270 per bottle).
Street Prostitutes
Whilst prostitution is legal, you won’t find many street prostitutes in Aarhus owing to the size of the population not making it worthwhile for sex workers to be out in the street.
Most choose to advertise their services online.
From the limited reports we’ve seen of hookers working the streets, most charge around 300 Kr for sex, considerably less than escorts.
Aarhus Sex Shops
Paradiss
Banegårdsgade 9, 8000 Aarhus C
Operating three physical stores in Denmark in addition to a successful online service, the Paradiss store in Aarhus is 140 sq m and sells a wide range of items.
As well as the usual toys and accessories you can find costumes, S&M equipment and romantic items. They have a good novelty range in addition to books, DVDs and games.
The shop is open from 10am to 7pm.
G Club
Paradisgade 11, 8000 Aarhus C
G Club also operates as a gay cruise club but sells a good range of sex toys, mainly aimed at men and gay couples. For further details, see ‘Swinging Clubs’, above.
