Warsaw Sex Guide

Updated on:

Looking for some sexy action in Warsaw?

The capital of Poland has long had a reputation for its popular adult entertainment scene and boasts a huge range of strip clubs, massage parlours, nightclubs and bars. It is a popular European city for stag parties and, because prostitution is legal, it attracts plenty of sex tourists, too. 

Our Warsaw Sex Guide takes a look at the best venues in town to sample some Polish hospitality, including sauna clubs, swinging clubs and massage parlours. We also look at the local escort scene (and what punters typically expect to pay).



Sex and Prostitution In Warsaw

Warsaw Sex Guide cover image

Prostitution in Poland is legal, but most activities around the sex business are illegal; this includes:

  • Running a brothel.
  • Pimping
  • Soliciting
  • Coercion

Research by NGOs suggests there is anywhere between 3,000 and 33,000 prostitutes working in Poland, with a good proportion of these providing their services in Warsaw.

Most of the legalised trade in prostitution takes place either via escorts or in massage parlours, though there is also some street prostitution in Warsaw (which we’ll cover below). Some freelance prostitutes head to nightclubs and bars as well as strip clubs to try their luck picking up guys on a night out.

Basically, the city takes an “it’s legal if it’s personal, illegal if it’s organized” stance on prostitution.

And this influences the composition of the local sex trade – there are a ton of freelancers and independent escorts, but a lack of agencies, brothels and any other full service venues. The ones that do exist are targeted regularly by the authorities.

As well as Polish sex workers, it is also common to find other Eastern European women from neighbouring countries like Ukraine, Lithuania and Belarus.

Sex work isn’t regulated or taxed in Warsaw, since it’s not recognized as an official profession. However, this is a doubled edged sword, and while sex workers don’t pay taxes on earnings (yay!), they also receive no labour protections or benefits (boo).

Overall, the Warsaw sex scene is fairly muted with most of the action now based online.

Escort Industry

Many of Warsaw’s escorts are Polish, but there are also plenty of other European nationalities working in the city. Most work independently and advertise through directories or classified services.

In late 2021, Poland’s largest adult ad site Roksa.pl was raided and shut down by police, with 11 people (including the founders) arrested for “facilitating prostitution”.

Roksa had been huge in Warsaw (and all over Poland) with up to 15,000 ads monthly and allegedly earning its owners 40 million zł over 15 years.

By January 2022, Roksa resurfaced at a new offshore domain (roksa.sx) – presumably registered in St. Maarten to dodge Polish jurisdiction. At the time of writing, this site is still alive, bustling with escort ads, but we have no idea whether it’s a genuine relaunch (unlikely) or simply one of many clones in the game of whack-a-mole.

Alongside Roksa, several other directories and dating sites have gained popularity after 2022’s shakeup.

  • Erodate.pl – this is an adult dating/classifieds site, basically the Polish AdultFriendFinder, (it even has a live forum). Just like AFF, it gets blasted by escort ads on the daily.
  • Eamore.com.pl – more of a catch-all bucket of adult related services around Warsaw, including escort ads.

There are a few high-roller escort agencies in operation, but we can’t list these on the site.

Most escorts work independently or with a low-profile “manager.” Back in the early 2010s, you could find “agencja towarzyska” (companionship agency) signs around town, but those largely vanished after legal pressure.

For punter reviews and community intel, the holy grail is the Garsoniera forum. Garsoniera (meaning “studio apartment”) is Poland’s largest sex discussion board, and it’s an almighty treasure trove of escort reviews, blacklists, and tips.

In other words… the Polish punters’ Reddit.

Keep in mind: Most independent escorts post on multiple sites; a typical ad will have age, measurements, a menu of services (coded with punter slang like OWO, CIM, COF), incall location (often a district like Śródmieście or Mokotów), and rates. Speaking basic Polish can sometimes get better service or prices, but many younger escorts in Warsaw know some working English.

Warsaw Brothels

Brothels are illegal in Poland but there are some around Warsaw. 

The location of these ‘knocking shops’ changes all the time to try and avoid police attention, but pimps tend to promote them with flyers around clubs (and under car wipers) when they are back in business.

We strongly recommend avoiding these establishments as they are both illegal and dangerous.

What exists instead are “secret apartments” and quasi-brothels euphemistically called agencje towarzyskie (escort agencies), which, yes, are illegal brothels operating under the radar.

These are typically regular apartments or rented houses where multiple girls work in shifts, managed by a pimp or “oglądacz” (watchman). They advertise through the escort sites or via word-of-mouth, but they keep the address hidden until you reserve… for obvious reasons.

Police do bust these from time to time. In 2022, a major ring operating four apartments and three premises across Warsaw was taken down: authorities charged 10 people with running illegal agencies.

The bust revealed some interesting intel: the ring’s boss innovated by charging a flat daily fee from each sex worker (170–650 zł per day) instead of a cut per client.

One girl working at an apartment on ul. Zgrupowania AK Żmija paid the pimp 79,000 zł in just four months under this scheme!

Clearly, business was booming. The group provided apartments, and even a security guy for 1000 zł a month per flat, in exchange for the women’s daily “rent”.

All this is to say that while brothels are illegal, Warsaw has seen many of them over the years.

Red Light Districts

Does Warsaw have a red light district? 

Not officially.

But that doesn’t tell the full story.

Certain streets in Śródmieście have earned a “pigalak” reputation…Informal red light strolls where prostitutes wait for clients.

The most famous was undoubtedly “Pigalak za Mariottem” – the small area behind the Marriott Hotel, near the corner of ul. Nowogrodzka and Emilii Plater:

Warsaw red light spot

Locals say since the end of WWII, that stretch has seen working girls plying their trade nightly.

Even today, Nowogrodzka Street (between Marszałkowska and Emilii Plater) and the adjacent little Poznańska/Wspólna square are known street pickup zones after dark.

Long-time residents call it “historyczny, legendarny pigalak” (something like… “the historic legendary stroll”), and it’s one that peaked in the wild 1990s when newly-capitalist Poles suddenly had money to spend on vice.

These days, that area still sees some streetwalkers late at night, typically older or drug-addicted women and the occasional younger Ukrainian or Belarusian sex worker. It’s quite a rough scene – a few ladies in heavy makeup and miniskirts lurking near the curb.

Clients drive by or walk up to negotiate a quick car date or a short stay at a nearby rented room. Prices can be rock bottom (100–200 zł), but the risks are high… STIs, robbery, police fines for public order… we could go on.

Avoid.

It’s important to keep in mind here: 

Street prostitution in Warsaw is on the decline. In the 1990s, the city had a huge number of street hookers. Regarded by many as a nuisance and a deterrent to tourism, the authorities have been trying to discourage street prostitution in the capital.

Former Mayor, Lech Kaczynski, went to some lengths to try and rid Warsaw of its ‘sleazy’ image and had many illegal brothels closed down and campaigned for an end to sex on the city’s streets.

Largely, the efforts have been rewarded though this is mainly because most prostitutes, with the use of a mobile phone, can now operate via their apartments. Internet advertising, live sex camming and escorting are preferable to soliciting on the streets of Warsaw.

Though less common than a few decades ago, street hookers still operate around the station.

The Price of Sex in Warsaw

Prices for sex in Warsaw vary massively depending on the type of service, the girl, and how classy (or seedy) the surroundings. Broadly speaking:

Street Prostitution: 100–200 zł for a quickie (oral or half-half, often in a car or nearby short-stay room). Here the risk/reward ratio really plummets… quality is low, danger is high. Just a really bad idea.

Independent Escorts: From what we’ve seen, 200–400 zł per hour is the standard ballpark. You’ll find plenty of attractive 20-somethings in the 300 zł range. Expect basic services… protected sex, some oral, maybe GFE if you’re lucky. Extra services (anal, CIM, COF, etc) will cost more and are marked with punter code in the ad. Many girls list 30 min/200 zł as a fast option.

Agency Escorts (High-End): These are priced more like a business dinner than a backstreet blowjob. Expect 600–1000 zł per hour, sometimes quoted in euros. That buys you discretion, fluent English, and someone who likely won’t bolt halfway through with your wallet. Agencies are discreet… the ones that still operate don’t advertise publicly but are easy to find if you know how to Google lol.

Overnight Stays: Expect to pay 1500–2500 zł for an overnight with a regular independent, and closer to 3000–4000 zł with a top-shelf girl from a premium agency. Not cheap, but still way below Western Europe VIP rates.

Punter forums like Garsoniera are full of guys rating girls not just on looks, but on value for money. Some escorts offer great service at 250 zł. Others phone it in at 600 zł. Really depends, and the wise old hands will generally do their research beforehand.

Erotic Massage Shops

Massage parlours are a popular way to pay for erotic services in Warsaw, with plenty of salons in the city providing a range of adult services. Many will offer a sensual and relaxing treatment followed by a handjob happy ending, but others provide a more intimate service.

Generally, because there’s no penetrative sex involved, most erotic massage studios operate in a legal grey area that’s largely tolerated. It’s still dodgy though, and we can’t list any of the actual parlours in operation, even though they are easy to find elsewhere.

In terms of pricing, it’s normally around 150–300 zł per hour depending on the location, the massage type, and the girl’s skill (and enthusiasm). Some places offer Nuru or B2B (body-to-body) sessions, usually in the 250–300 zł range. Anything more than manual release — if it happens — is unofficial, obviously, and off the menu.

Lots of independent girls list “erotic massage only” on platforms like Roksa (and its many spinoffs).

Sessions are usually held in private flats, and the experience ranges from professional to porn-with-oil. Look for terms like:

  • Masaż tantryczny (tantric massage)
  • Body2Body / masaż ciałem (nude, slippery massage)
  • Lingam (for men)
  • Yoni (for women)

Gotta admit, these listings are a minefield… some are great, others are upsell machines… so always Google the number and check sources like Garsoniera before booking if you don’t wanna get burned.

Sex Clubs In Warsaw

Swinging is popular in Poland, and Warsaw has a good selection of clubs that offer admission to guests, even without membership.

Club Euphoria

Al. Piłsudskiego 220, Marki

https://euphoria-club.pl

Euphoria Club PL

One of the OGs of Polish swinging; reopening soon according to their website.

Euphoria is a large, clean, well-organised venue about 15 minutes north of the city. It’s fully kitted out with playrooms, a dungeon, jacuzzi, showers, and a bar. Judging by their calendar, most nights are couples-only, and they normally have a sexy dress code (lingerie, heels, towels, or nothing at all).

Some events do allow select single men (but you’ll be vetted and spaces are limited). This place is friendly, drama-free, and generally regarded as the most “international” swinger venue in the Warsaw area.

If you’re new to swinging, probably a good starting point. Just don’t be a creep, don’t stare like a psycho, and don’t touch without asking. Golden rule!

ACT Swingers Club

Urwisko 12, 02-776 Warszawa

https://act-club.pl

ACT Swingers

Small but dedicated club in a quiet neighbourhood preaching: “Always. Good. Moaning.

ACT is less glitzy than Euphoria but still gets decent attendance and has a strong community, with regular events held on SDC and via their website.

Expect a dance floor, chillout area, lockers, playrooms, and plenty of condoms everywhere. They also host theme nights, with their Friday and Saturday night parties as the grand highlight of the week.

The crowd skews late 20s to mid-40s, with a good mix of newbies and experienced players. Many veteran Polish Lifestylers prefer ACT.

Lava Swingers Club

Address only published after event bookings

https://lava-club.pl

Lava Swingers

This one’s a bit hush-hush. Lava doesn’t publish its address… you apply via the website and they send you directions if you’re approved. It’s said to be in central Warsaw and offers modern décor, BDSM play areas, large group rooms, and one of the better-maintained orgy setups in the city.

It’s also one of the busiest swinger destinations.

Popular with young and trendy couples, and oozing exclusivity.

Fetish Chateau

Rzymska 1, 03-976 Warszawa

https://www.fetishchateau.com/

Fetish Chateau

This is Warsaw’s bougiest BDSM venue… a high-end kink mansion tucked away in leafy Saska Kępa.

Fetish Chateau is exactly what it sounds like: a luxury apartment-style playhouse kitted out with professional BDSM gear, themed rooms, and elite kink aesthetics. Think red velvet, wrought-iron chandeliers, cages, crosses, and equipment that wouldn’t look out of place in a high-budget dominatrix porn shoot.

Fetish Chateau is designed for serious kinksters, private sessions, and high-production events.

Other Fetish and Kink Events

If full-on swinging isn’t your scene but you’re still into latex, ropes, or floggers, keep an eye on VooDoo Club and Kinky Party Polska events. There’s also the famous LustSupper events.

These happen semi-regularly and attract Warsaw’s BDSM/fetish community.

They’re usually posted on Fetlife.

Warsaw Strip Clubs

Warsaw is renowned for its gentleman’s clubs and has one of the highest concentrations of these venues in Poland. There is a good range of clubs to choose from in the city, from the cheaper end to the more illustrious establishments that offer a VIP experience.

Most strip clubs work on the ‘Champagne System’ whereby the price of drinks are inflated to cover commission costs for the girls. 

Lap dances are sold alongside expensive bottles and drinks often start at €30.

Whilst brothels are illegal, prostitution is not, and the management at most clubs tends to turn a blind eye to any ‘indiscretions’. It is possible to get more than just a lap dance at a strip club in Warsaw.

Playhouse Gentleman’s Club

aleja “Solidarności” 82A, 00-001 Warsaw

https://playhouse.pl/

playhouse strip club warsaw

The Playhouse Gentleman’s Club was voted the No 1 strip club in the world by AskMen.com. The popular men’s portal gave the title to the Warsaw strip club ahead of more internationally renowned venues, including Spearmint Rhino, Las Vegas and Hustler, New York!

Boasting ‘57 beautiful and 4 quite ugly’ go-go dancers, the Playhouse has a great reputation for providing an erotic and elite environment. You can arrange a one-to-one dance in one of the private areas or book the VIP zone for larger parties.

Split over three floors, the club has four bars, including a shisha and cigar lounge. It’s a popular venue for stag parties, corporate events and even post-divorce celebrations.

New Orleans Gentleman’s Club

Zgoda 11, 00-018 Warsaw

https://neworleans.pl

New Orleans strip club

Another elite strip club, New Orleans is situated right in the heart of the city and is based on the gentleman’s clubs of London.

Split over two floors, there are around 30 dancers who perform continuous shows and offer lap and private dances. Private rooms are available.

The first floor is reserved for VIP guests with a range of exquisitely decorated champagne rooms. Popular with corporate guests and elite parties, the club also serves fine food in its night restaurant. All velvet, leather, and low-light luxury.

Bonus: they serve steaks. And yes, you can literally eat dinner while watching a pole show. Try doing that in a back-alley dive!

Hustler Gentleman’s Club

Nowy Świat 3, 00-496 Warsaw

https://hustlerclub.pl

Hustlers Gentlemen's Club

Busting out the big guns.

Hustler Warsaw was the first European opening of Larry Flynt’s international strip club brand. It is conveniently situated in the heart of the city between the Three Crosses Square and the Charles de Gaulle roundabout.

You can expect the same high-energy welcome from the Warsaw club as you would in the US. Dancers come from across the world and are selected for their beauty and talent.

It’s a popular club for English speaking visitors to the city and tends to attract a lot of British stag parties.

Dancers are very attractive, but there’s not a ton of intimacy unless you book a VIP room, which can run you 1000–3000 zł depending on drinks ordered. Some reports suggest you can negotiate… but only if you’re sober enough to do maths. Good luck bros.

Local Sex Shops and Adult Stores

Warsaw is surprisingly well-stocked when it comes to sex toys.

Sex shops are legal, open, and generally stigma-free here. You’ll find them near shopping centres, tucked into side streets… and even in residential blocks with discreet buzzers.

Here are some of our recommended destinations:

Sex Shop Heaven

Topiel 6, 00-350 Warszawa

https://www.heaven24.pl

Sex Shop Heaven

Smack in the middle of Warsaw’s bohemian riverside district, Heaven is a reliable one-stop shop for couples, singles, and anyone in-between.

It’s bigger than it looks from the outside and stocks a wide range of items: dildos, vibes, strokers, lube, lingerie, fetish gear, and novelty party gifts (because every hen night needs penis confetti).

Prices are mid-range, and they regularly run online discounts if you want to order for pickup. 

Refform

Prosta 2/14, 00-850 Warszawa

https://refform.pl

Refform

A popular fetish store in the city, Refform stocks a good selection of BDSM toys, accessories and clothing. You can find most devices and instruments but also some unusual gadgets too.

It has an excellent reputation for being well-stocked and well-designed with knowledgeable, friendly staff on hand to help.

Bizarriusz

Hoża 41/lok. LU8, 00-681 Warsaw

https://www.bizarriusz.pl

sex cinema warsaw

A sex shop with a cinema, Bizarriusz is popular with swingers and cruising singles (gay and straight).

It is Warsaw’s only sex cinema and features a reasonable sized main screen area that shows continuous porno. In addition, there are also several more private areas. Changing rooms and shower facilities are available on site.

A BDSM area is also on hand for fet-fans.

The shop stocks the usual supplies and is quite handy for the basics.

The cinema has a cult status locally and is definitely a place for the curious.

Secret Place

Prosta 2/14, 00-850 Warszawa

https://secretplace.pl

Secret Place

It’s located in the same unit as Refform.

Discreet but stylish, this boutique is tucked away inside a building near Rondo Daszyńskiego. Generally a bit more upscale than other stores, clearly focused on quality over quantity. You’ll find premium dildos, lingerie, kink accessories, and wellness toys (think clitoral stimulators that look like Apple products).

Other Notable Adult Attractions

Warsaw’s sex scene has a few extra tricks tucked under its lace panties. 

So what else do we have?

Sauna Clubs

There are a couple of sauna clubs in Warsaw that offer a blend of a spa with a nightclub. Some are better known for their discos whilst others have better sauna facilities.

Villa Rosa

ul. Warszawska 12, 05-092, Łomianki

www.facebook.com/Villa-Rosa-1518345241817151

sauna club warsaw sex

Situated in one of Warsaw’s satellite towns, Łomianki, the Villa Rosa is a blend of nightclub, massage parlour, and sauna club all rolled into one.

The venue has 30 private rooms each with their own en-suite plus a large bar from which you can enjoy a range of live shows including strip dancing and lesbian performances. There is also a spa area on site which has a jacuzzi and Finish sauna.

Sauna Heaven

http://www.heavensauna.pl/

Sauna Heaven

Small but spotlessly clean, this place is all dark rooms, steam, lockers, and mutual exploration. It’s not huge, but it gets packed on weekends.

Sauna The Fire

Twarda 44, 00-831 Warszawa

http://www.saunathefire.pl

The biggest gay sauna in Central and Eastern Europe. Inside you’ll find a maze of play zones, cabins, group rooms, steam baths, and showers… with regular themed nights. You’ll find every demographic here.

Friendly to tourists, there are often English speakers milling about. Events like “Underwear Only” or “Dark Friday” are especially popular.

Hourly Hotels (Pokoje na godziny)

Need a discreet place for a quick shag?

Warsaw has plenty of “rooms by the hour” available… often referred to locally as apartamenty na godziny.

These are not seedy motels; many are clean, private AirBnB-style apartments you can rent for 1–4 hours.

Look for:

  • Miejsce na miłość
  • Apartlove
  • Pokojenagodziny.pl

Rates start at 70 zł/hour for a clean, sex-ready room. Usually cash only.

Cam Models

Poland has a massive camgirl and OnlyFans ecosystem… and many Warsaw-based girls broadcast from their flats or sell custom content locally.
