Vibrators Meet Science

The Payback of Taking Back ‘Defective’ Items
We all love a returning customer but not so much a customer that returns products. Given the nature of our industry, whether you are my favorite bricks-and-mortar kind of store or just work your magic on the Internet, returns have always been a really tricky topic to address.

Adult Games Provide Escape During Quarantine

A Look at the Evolution of Clit Stim Toys
The clitoris is the only human organ that exists solely for pleasure. Historically, the clitoris has long been ignored by medical science, countless ex-boyfriends, and even by those who have them — but why?

Industry Leaders Are Out to Change the World One Pleasure Product at a Time
After the near-ubiquitous haute appropriation of the rainbow for every mainstream marketing campaign in the month of June, it certainly feels like conviction in formerly incendiary statements is all but disappeared.

We need to be willing to stand up and fight for the world we want.

O.school, Good Vibes Tackle Stigma With Sex Toy ‘Superpowers’ Webseries
It was Good Vibrations who over two decades ago started Masturbation Month in response to the forced resignation of the first black U.S. Surgeon General, Jocelyn Elders, who openly endorsed masturbation as a healthy part of one’s sex life. After suggesting that masturbation should be taught as a part of sex-ed in schools, Elders faced public backlash and was promptly relieved of her position. And thus, on a societal level we continued to not discuss it.
Why Twitter Needs to Learn the Meaning of ‘Consent’
There are quite a lot of penises in my Twitter timeline. And breasts, and vulvas, and plenty of animated gifs of people having a sexy time together. There are also, if you look in certain places, videos of people punching and kicking each other, pushing others under buses, beating those who can’t fight back, and partaking in various other violent acts. Why did I put these things in the same paragraph? What has consensual sexual activity got to do with non-consensual acts of violence?
Could Applying a Fitness Routine Improve Sex Lives?
