Hello there Sea Changers. Welcome back to my series of program lists to assist those of you looking to fund your sea change with affiliate marketing. My name is Paul and I have been making money in the affiliate marketing game for the past decade and have created this site to assist those of you looking to do the same. Today we are going to take a walk on the wild side to look at my 12 best adult affiliate programs to hook up with this year.
This niche is obviously not to everyone's taste however if viewed from a purely business side of things, it is an extremely popular and lucrative online market. Whether this be due to the fact that people prefer the anonymity of online sales or they enjoy the safety of being in their home surroundings, it is certainly a market that may be well worth checking out…
- adultshop.com
- Lovehoney
- Wild Secrets
- Perfect Fit Brand
- Geeky Sex Toys
- Yandy.com
- Silicon Wives
- Sex Doll Genie
- One Condoms
- GLYDE
- AffiliationSexShop.net
- Sex Ed Rescue
That's right! Wealthy Affiliate provided me with all of the tools and training I needed to get this post in front of my audience - a.k.a YOU!
You too can start your very own online business here that can make you money from anywhere in the world!!
Before we begin however, I am conscious that there are a number of different areas or sub niches within this subject hence the quantity of affiliate programs to choose from may be just as large. So how have I picked my best 12? Well… I really just wanted to give you a good cross section of what is out there so I did some searching around and checked a few out and chose them by looking at:
- What they offer
- Commission rates
- Payment terms
- Cookie duration
- Application processes
- Affiliate/Marketing materials provided
Before we start however, let's have a look at what I mean by the term ‘adult products' and how it can be incorporated within an affiliate marketing website…
Note: This post contains images not suitable for children. If you are offended by these sorts of images then please click here to return to the home page.
12 Best Adult Affiliate Programs
Stats show that people will spend money on adult products online if it can make their lives easier so as long as you are meeting their needs and solving problems, then you are on the right track.
Legalities
The adult industry is one that is often exploited by unethical and/or illegal activity. Take care to ensure that the companies that you are dealing with are regulated and working within the laws and regulations of their operational jurisdictions. Also, note that some countries outlaw adult products altogether so always check the requirements within the market that you intend to operate within.
Ok, with that aside, let's check out the 12 programs I have found below:
1. adultshop.com
Let's start with an all in one site in adultshop.com. This is a large adult product site providing access to over 1000 products including:
- Sex Toys
- Vibrators
- Lingerie
- Games and novelty items
- Romance and seduction items
- Essentials and maintenance items
- Lubricants
- LGBTQI items
- Movies
This is a great site for affiliates as it allows you to cover all aspects of adult entertainment, intimacy and romance in the one spot. In addition to this, there is a great blog covering such topics as safe use of equipment, dating and sexual behaviours providing some good information for your readers and blog post ideas for you. There is certainly enough here to build an affiliate site around.

2. Lovehoney
Lovehoney is another massive adult site offering over 5000 products – ‘more than any other online sex shop”. There is so much there that we could not even begin to cover everything here but their main categories include:
- Sex toys
- Sexy Lingerie – including plus size options
- Lubes and Better Sex
- Bondage
The list above really doesn't do the site justice however there really is something for everybody and certainly enough to base an adult related affiliate business around. And as with adultshop.com above there is also a great ‘advice' section incorporating a blog, podcast and educational information as well.

- Toys for her
- Toys for him
- Couples toys
- Bondage gear
- Lingerie
- Costumes
- Essentials
- Novelty items
There is possibly enough on this site to base an entire affiliate marketing site around as there are good options for both male and female customers as well as those looking to spice things up as a couple. And as an interesting cross selling opportunity there is also a small fashion area covering swimwear, dresses and footwear as well.
Commission Rate: 20%

- The XPLAY® Gear Sex Toys
- The Fat Boy™ Penis Sleeves

- Masturbators | For Him, Her & FTM Stroker

Marketing material provided: Text links, banners, data feed
5. Geeky Sex Toys
Ok, so how do I explain this one? Imagine that you were such a fan of the marvel comics that you wanted a sex toy in the shape of Thor's hammer. That is what Geeky Sex Toys can provide. Their main catalogue is similar to the first two sites listed here with products outlined in the graphic below. In regards to geekiness however, they provide their products in the following categories (all punned of course):
- Doctor Screw
- Sci-Fi
- Fantasy
- Halloween
- Star Toys
- DickPool
- Super Heroes
- The Indulgers
- Orgasms of the Galaxy
- Game of Moans
- Pokemoan
- Crypto Currency
- Hentai
- Pride
Even though there is a large catalogue of products, I am not sure it could sustain an affiliate business on its own. However I would definitely see it added to any generalist business, gift, special occasion (stag, hens nights etc.) or if you could word it right, an adult related fantasy site as well.
Commission Rate: 10%
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: 30 Days
Application required?: Yes, You will need to enter personal and website information to apply.
Marketing material provided: Text links, banners
6. Yandy.com
Now we will start to narrow our focus a little starting with adult fashion and Yandy.com. This is possibly more of a fashion site than an adult one perse however it does focus heavily on the sexy side of things with a good range of:
- Lingerie – including plus size
- Bras
- Hosiery
- Panties
- Costumes
- Accessories – including toys, whips, handcuffs, cosmetics and more
And as with Wild Secrets above, there are some other fashion items on this site to allow for cross selling opportunities to be incorporated including:
- Dancewear
- Activewear
- Swimwear
- Shoes
- Ravewear
This site is probably not one that you would build an entire affiliate marketing business around if your site is aimed purely at the adult niche. However, it would be a great companion/add on to just about any adult, lingerie or fashion related niche possible – and maybe even for those dealing with dance related sites as well.
Commission Rate:
5% (up to 15% for new customers)
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: 30 Days
Application required?: Yes, the Yandy.com affiliate program is managed by Share-A-Sale. You will be required to apply for an account then for the Yandy.com affiliate program. You will need to enter personal and website information to apply.

- Japanese
- Blonde
- Big Boobs
- Flat Chested
- Black (Ebony)
- Male
- Fantasy and Anime
- TPE
- Silicone
All dolls on the site are hand-picked to ensure real silicone and TPE materials are used to make a user experience that is “better than the real thing”.
There is probably not enough here to base an entire adult affiliate marketing business around however due to the price of these items, it would certainly make a great high ticket add on.
Commission Rate: 7%
Payment Terms: Once $1000 threshold is reached
Cookie Duration: Not Stated
Application required?: Yes, you will need to enter personal and website information to apply.
Marketing material provided: Text Links, banners

They offer products from a number of established and well-known brands as well as information and review videos to assist your readers.
As with Silicon Wives above, there is probably not enough here to base an entire adult affiliate marketing business around however due to the price of these items, it would certainly make a great high ticket add on as well.
Commission Rate: 18%
Payment Terms: Monthly

GLYDE is a sexual health company aimed at educating “our communities on the importance of practicing safe sex, talking about intimate health as an intrinsic element of self care, and the benefits of adopting ethically made products”. Their product range is centres on ethical, vegan, fair trade condoms, in three tailored sizes and five organic flavors with a stock list including::

- Sheer GLYDE Dams

There is also a small Toy Box section containing some personal vibrators as well.
This website would work best as an add on to any adult related site or for inclusion in any natural health, vegan, fair trade or sustainability sites as well (depending upon your audience obviously). There is also a fantastic blog allowing for some great post ideas and/or bonus information for your readers.
Commission Rate: 20 – 30%

12. Sex Ed Rescue
And finally, let's finish with a site that is all about sex education called Sex Ed Rescue. The site is about discussing sex with children in a way that “empowers them to (one day) make smart sexual decisions”. In regards to saleable options for affiliates, their range of products includes books and courses all designed to allow parents to outline and discuss any situation with their children.
To be honest, I would advise that this site be added to any adult affiliate business incorporating any of the products listed within this post so that when the time comes, users can educate their children on their safe and appropriate use in an industry that can be so easily exploited.
Commission Rate:
- 40% commission on eProducts – ebooks, printables, PDFs and App.

How to find your own affiliate programs
As stated earlier, by outlining the sites above I have really just tried to give you a good cross section of the types of programs that are out there by listing the really good ones in each ‘category'. That does not mean that you cannot find affiliate programs that better suit what it is that you are trying to do within this space especially as I could never even begin to cover every adult related requirement or sub niche in the one post. Luckily for us, there is a simple way to find these programs online.
All you need to do is enter “affiliate: niche type” into your search engine (substituting ‘niche type‘ for whatever product it is that you are choosing to sell). The example below is for sex toy affiliate programs:
There are adult related affiliate programs for everything else that we have listed at the top of this page as well – you will just need to have a look around until you find one or two that suit your site. Once you have completed your searches, you can look through and find programs that:
- Relate to your niche/problems that you are solving.
- Have quality products – your brand can be severely damaged if you promote poor quality products.
- Have solid payment and customer service arrangement.
- Pay decent commissions.
- Have good testimonials covering commission payouts and quality of product.
In most cases, you will need to apply for the program before you are allowed to promote their products – don’t take this step lightly or you will be rejected. Affiliate programs will generally want to know:
- Your website name.
- Traffic levels.
- Why you want to join – (so I can make money by selling your flavoured condoms is unfortunately not generally a good enough answer).
- How you plan to promote their products.
FAQ
Are adult affiliate programs legal?
In most cases yes. There are obvious implications to do with local laws and regulation however as long as the products are not to do with exploitation, minors or from businesses that are illegal in themselves, then you are generally ok to promote products to consenting adults.
How do I promote adult products without getting banned?
This is a tricky niche to work in however when promoting products, make sure that you focus on the products itself and do not include any images of them being used. Also make sure that the products are not used for the exploitation of minors or in trafficking.
Conclusion
So… There are 12 of the best adult site affiliate program options to hook up with this year. I hope it has been helpful for you as you commence your own adult based affiliate marketing business and as usual, please do not hesitate to comment below if you have any questions, need some advice or have any experiences to share. Oh, and especially comment if you have any experience with these, or any other programs as well.
Until next time
Have fun
Paul

Introducing Wealthy Affiliate, My #1 Recommendation for Setting Up Your Own Online Business
When I started, I knew I wanted to work online, but had absolutely no idea where to begin! You see I had watched friends of mine run a sales party to sell essential oils and someone asked if they could just sell them online?
Then, as I sat on the bus heading into my office job, I started to wonder if I could do just that, sell essential oils online.
Anything to stop having to catch this bus to and from work every day right!
The trouble was, as I mentioned above, I had no idea how to even start.
So of course I started to look around online and found all these courses! They all promised me riches then took my money but left me with no riches!
Then I stumbled across the program that didn’t promise me riches, but told me it could help me get started even with no experience!
So I did that, joined Wealthy Affiliate that was it, and the rest as they say, is history!
But it doesn’t come without work!
That is the key here! I began on their starter membership and did the training! I then joined as a member and did some more training!
Each night after work, I would do a little more, then a little more.
And to cut a long story short, after 10 months I realized I didn’t really like writing about essential oils, so I sold the site for about $2000. But I had learned so much that I started another – about fishing and camping!
Then, after 18 months (by which time it had earned me close to $10k), I was offered $17k for the site, so I sold it too.
Now, through my travel blog, I’ve been able to fund my passion for travel and explore different places around the world.
In the past few months, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some amazing destinations, including Bali, Los Angeles, Dallas, Vancouver and Las Vegas.
The success of my travel blog has allowed me to fully fund my travels and explore new destinations with my family.
Try the Wealthy Affiliate as a Starter Member and Build your First Hub!

Oh, and as you run through the training below you may realize that what you created above is not exactly what you want. That’s ok, you can just create a new hub!
Wealthy Affiliate Training

Afterall, every business needs tools to grow!
So How Much Does This Really Cost?
Wealthy Affiliate does not use upsells once you join – but as I mentioned in the video, to succeed here you will need to invest in a membership. There are a couple of options that provide access to all the tools, training and assistance that you could need – and a free domain as well.

A very nice overview, thank you the only question is why https://adbackpage.com is not on the list ?
Founded in 2020 https://adbackpage.com is younger than say Bedpage or Backpage yet very prominent in its segment.
Having top positions on Asian markets AdBackpage has Adult runs on CPM model with strong performance for advertisers and publishers.
Affiliate ad networks reviews without https://adbackpage.com is a kind of incomplete Look forward to having AdBackpage on the list too :))
It really doesn’t look like an adult site Jenny?
