They’re brand-new on the market, but we’re already in love with the Matryoshka and Forbidden Fruit, both from new sex toy designer Rianne S.  Rianne brings a playful sophistication to her designs — they’re a little bit sex-toy-in-disguise, a little bit tongue-in-cheek pleasure machine.  Either way, we’re sold.  Here’s a little bit more about Rianne’s beginnings in the sex toy industry, what advice she’d offer to hopeful sex toy designers, and what toys she most admires!

If you are a lover of men, or a lover of men’s sex toys, win the raciest men’s vibe on the market, by commenting on this post!

When it comes to sex toys men tend to  fall into two camps: those who think 1) “toys are an insult to my manhood”, or 2)” I like ‘em, but I’ll never admit it.” Number one seems to have a more tenacious hold on the male psyche–men often equate the use of a sex toy, especially a penis sleeve, with a lack of sexual success. Intrigued? You can learn more about this in the recent article on male masturbation on the Frisky.

The second camp, those who use sex toys but won’t admit it,  is starting to change. Even celebrities are jumping on the sex toy bandwagon, as you can see in 10 Famous Men Who (allegedly) Like Sex Toys. Even still, those celebs who are out about their sex toy use are more open about their preference for kink and less forthcoming about male masturbation.

Fortunately, sex toy manufacturers like Fun Factory are figuring out that if you want to sell a guy a sex toy, you gotta make it appealing to guys. Forget names like “penis ring” which seem like something you might see in an X-rated rom com. You gotta bring out the toys that conjure up images of fast cars, power tools, or fine cigars. Witness the introduction this year of our best-selling male masturbation sleeve: the Cobra Libre vibrator. This toy sounds like a fast car, and Fun Factory even released a hysterical demo video (watch it at the end of this post) which depicted the toy as a race car.

So, friends, here’s your challenge: leave a post here and tell us either what you’d name a guy’s sex toy, or what you’d like to see turned into a guy’s sex toy. To get you started, enjoy the photo at left! (more…)

You asked for it, you got it:  we’re so excited to introduce our newest section, Gender Expression!  There, you’ll find everything from chest binders to stand-to-pee (STP) devices, soft packs to harnesses, super-realistic cocks to vaginal dilators to pumps and more.  (Plus, some of our favorite lubes and safer sex supplies.)

We created this collection to meet the needs of our customers who seek toys, accessories, and various tools to affirm their lived gender, regardless of gender assignment at birth. We welcome our transgender, transsexual, and otherwise gender non-conforming customers to shop and enjoy; these products are also wonderful for folks who wish to play with gender, either as part of their sexuality or as an exploration in and of itself.  And of course, if you’d like assistance with your selection, or have any questions, we’re always happy to lend an ear and some advice.

Yay, Gender Expression!
