Through Monday, we’re running a pretty amazing promo: $5 off when you spend $50 (code: PRIDE5), $15 off when you spend $100 (code: PRIDE15), or $30 off when you spend $150 (code: PRIDE30).  That’s up to 20% off your purchase, folks!  And while I’d never presume to tell you what toys would best suit you, personally, I thought I’d take this opportunity to tell you how I might use that discount here at Babeland:

SAVE $5:  If I had to pick one toy on which to spend $50, I’m pretty sure I’d be getting my grubby little paws on the Boss Naked ($67).  For years — YEARS — customers have been begging us to carry a high-quality, realistically phallic vibrator, and now we’ve got it (exclusive to Babeland, no less!). The Boss Naked is silicone, powerful, realistic without being too realistic, and even has a turbo boost button for an extra burst of vibration when you need it most.  Want.

Or, if I were gonna spread the wealth a bit, I might choose to buy the Orgasm in a Box (Hers) for $18 and the Door Jam Cuffs ($32), for a travel-friendly total of exactly $50; put ‘em together, and you’ve got a recipe for amazing hotel room sex. (And I do love hotel room sex.)

And of course, the Hitachi Magic Wand ($54) was/is my first love, and it’s still going strong after ten years; frankly, I’d buy another one just to keep in the closet, in case mine should ever give up the ghost.

A concept generated and dispersed across the web by blogger Rabbit White, Lady Porn Day is (in Rabbit’s own words) “a day to explore porn and masturbation. Because it’s tough trying to explore porn as a girl.” It’s a chance to share your thoughts on porn, the good, the bad and everything in between by submitting your thoughts to Rabbit’s site or tweeting about it. For this weeklong blogosphere project, she has enlisted amazing sexuality folks to get the discussion going; posts include an interview with porn star Jiz Lee and an excerpt from sexuality educator Betty Dodson‘s memoir, My Sexual Revolution. The project has been getting a lot of attention, some of which has been critical of its marketing approach and somewhat nonexclusive imagery. That being said, the fact that an open conversation about porn (with all thoughts on the matter given their due time) is being produced is a notable and valid place to start.

In the spirit of getting a dialogue going, here is my contribution to Lady Porn Day:
