Shifting the Conversation with Sin City Pukekohe

Robin and Shannon Shinn are shaking things up with Sin City, our town’s first premium adult toy and pleasure products store.

Opening their doors on 1 March last year, they set out to create more than just a shop—it’s also a space where people can explore, ask questions, and feel completely at ease. Too often, conversations around intimacy are awkward or avoided altogether, but they believe it’s time for that to change. Stocked with a carefully chosen selection of toys, lingerie, lubricants, and essentials, the store caters to everyone, whether they’re firsttimers or well-versed in the world of intimacy products.

Beyond the shopfront, their online store keeps things discreet and accessible, with fast shipping across New Zealand. Unlike their bigname competitors, Robin and Shannon keep things personal. They take the time to understand their customers, guiding them towards products that suit their individual needs. They’re fostering confidence, encouraging exploration, and helping people embrace their sexuality, free from shame. They’ve created a welcoming, judgment-free space where curiosity is encouraged, and all questions are welcome.

It’s not just about what’s on the shelves, though. The duo has worked hard to make sure Sin City offers something bigger— real conversations, open discussions, and a shift in the way people think about sexual wellness.

Education also plays a huge role in what they do. They know that the more people understand about their own bodies and desires, the more comfortable they’ll feel in making choices that enhance their well-being. They’ve made it a priority to provide resources, expert advice, and a safe space where people can have open, honest conversations. Even parents looking for guidance on how to talk to their teenagers about safe sex will find support at Sin City.

They also run Pleasure Parties, relaxed and informative gatherings that break the ice and help people learn in a fun, social setting.

At the core of it all is a simple belief: pleasure is natural, and no one should feel embarrassed about it. Robin and Shannon are proving that shopping for intimacy products can be modern, fun, and completely normal. Their welcoming space allows people to feel comfortable and informed, helping to shift the conversation around intimacy and making it a natural and accepted part of life.
