Sexy places to check out in Seoul

One of the greatest clubbing capitals in the world, Seoul has more than its share of sexy opportunities for party people and they know how to have a good time. It’s a fact that Koreans top the list of global drinkers, downing more than twice per head of even the average Russian. The local’s favourite tipple is a deadly rice wine called soju that’s served in a green bottle and boasts an alcohol content of about 20% - hangover hell. With the booze flowing freely and the streets full of twenty something clubbers, the atmosphere around districts like Itaewon, Hongdae and the infamous Gangnam is electric. People hop from street to bar to cafe to club and back in one night. The healthy mix of fun loving locals and excited tourists gives the place a heady type of energy that soon becomes infectious. There’s a lot to see and do in Seoul, but here’s a list of three fantastic experiences no sexy person should ever miss out on during a visit.

Make out at a booking club in Seoul

Booking clubs - usually referred to as ‘nite’ by Koreans - have long had a reputation for facilitating the lust-lives of high-rollers. Guide books have painted a picture of these ubiquitous joints as being filled with glamorous totty and champagne swilling millionaires being matched up on a sugar daddy level, but in fact that’s complete drivel. There are a vast range of clubs, supporting ever section of society and they’re thriving all over the cities clubbing districts. Although you’ll need a little money to get started, more for somewhere upmarket, inside the place is heaving with people just like you - who want to get laid. Well...that may be an exaggeration, but if you imagine a high-octane mix of speed dating, drinking and raving, you’ll be right on point. It works by groups of male or female guests tipping the head waiter, who then introduces one group to another and leaves. It can also happen on a one-to-one basis, but however you play it; there are no expectations on either side. If they’re not feeling it, your date will just get up and leave, but if you click, then you can party the night away together just like you would in an average club.

Book into a love motel

If your vision of a love motel includes racks of dusty pornos and flickering red lights, then get a ticket out of the 90’s. Today’s versions have chucked out their chintz and are ready to welcome you and a friend with benefits in for a private lovefest. Although they’re basic, the focus is now on cleanliness, and connectivity for the techies - as Trip Advisor can make or break an establishment with a few crappy reviews. However, old traditions die hard and most offer an array of free condoms, along with a pay per hour option. Perfect if you’re on for a wild one night stand, or if you and your partner feel like fucking in a love motel for the craic.

Test out the club scene

Hook-up opportunities are everywhere in this city, and getting hot and sticky with the beautiful people is an ideal way of meeting someone. In Gangnam, Club Octagon and Club Ellui have a loyal following that are in love with dance culture, the places overflow with bare skin, dimmed lights and lustful playtimes. If you’re on a budget, it’s best to be prepared by getting a wrist band that enables you to come and go as you please. Then you can pop out to cheaper bars on the strip rather than pay the inflated prices inside. You can be looking at between $20 and $40 as a cover charge, but expect to pay an extra $10 for any drink from a club. Cranked up prices are understandable when you take a look around the lush interiors of these adult venues, from chandeliers to marble bars and sweet VIP levels, you’re made to feel like superstars, perfect for a little hedonistic booty-call before breakfast. Inside the Sunshine Hotel, Club Syndrome even has a swimming pool for guests use. Elsewhere, theme nights like ‘Zombie Release Party’, ‘Girls Generation’ and ‘Wonderland’ at Ellui, give an idea of what to expect inside.
