A little Share goes a long way…

It’s my intention to attempt to see a toy for all the ways it can be enjoyed – from multiple perspectives if you will - who can use it, who will it appeal to, how many ways can it be used aside from the intended market. I often find that the best toys [...]

It’s official- BDSM players are normal

Dr. Charlie Glickman — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:33:57 +0000

The Journal of Sexual Medicine recently published some Australian research showing that BDSM practitioners are no more likely than their vanilla counterparts to have been coerced into sexual activity and are no more likely to be unhappy or anxious. In fact, men who engage in BDSM scored significantly lower on a scale of psychological distress [...]

some sad news

Dr. Charlie Glickman — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:17:02 +0000

The Associated Press announced today that lesbian activist Del Martin died at the age of 87. For those of you who are unfamiliar with lesbian history and don’t feel like checking out the wikipedia article about her, here’s a brief summary. Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, her partner of 55 year, founded the Daughters of Billitis, [...]

Adult Fail

So me and Kuono were at 6th and Mission in San Francisco, on our way back from a meeting. It’s a little seedy there, and somewhat aromatic. I know that combination evokes memories of tasty dinner rolls, but it’s not that kind of seedy and aromatic. There’s an “adult store” on the corner and while [...]

post-Olympic wrap-up

Dr. Charlie Glickman — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:04:33 +0000

I just ran across the NBC gallery of the Olympic beach volleyball competition. Apparently, the players use hand signals to indicate what their strategy for the next point will be. Now, that’s all well and good. But is it just me, or does this article seem like an excuse to get one more look at [...]

Olympics joke

smartyboots — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:08:23 +0000

A man went over to his girl’s place for a little bit of nookie between the sheets. He presented her with three choices of condom — gold, silver, or bronze. “Silver,” she said. “Why not gold?” he asked. “Because I want you to come second for once!” (You may benefit from adding this at the end.)

Barry the Beaver and Good Vibrations are on YouTube!

I just noticed that our Senior Buyer and our Jeremy Fish’s Barry Beaver (available at GV Stores) is now on YouTube!

We’re glad to have you back where you belong, WALL•E!

smartyboots — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:41:48 +0000

Check out Kate Bornstein’s great post on robots and gender in WALL•E. I’m completely smitten with WALL•E, this summer’s Pixar/Disney offering. But the last thing I expected to see in my friendly, heterosexual upper east side Manhattan neighborhood movie theater was a feature length cartoon about a pair of lesbian robots who fall madly in love [...]

Safer Sex Gets Fit

Misty — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:50:38 +0000

I just saw this article posted on AVN.com. What a fantastic mainstream recognition that safer sex can be great sex! In addition to all of the other amenities provided to the athletes it’s awesome to know that condoms and safer sex are also valued. Not to say the reasoning (see “embarrassment” quote below) is always [...]

Double standards for Sex Toys? No….

Kuono — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:07:20 +0000

Yes! Apparently a Sweden sex toy company pharmacy that sells sex toys [Thanks Anne!] has been charged with discriminating against men and placing a double-standard, where they give a “misguided and untrue view on sexuality where a woman with a dildo is seen as liberated, strong and independent, whereas a man with a blow up [...]
