June Comics Round-Up

We're mid-way through a scorching July, so let's take a look back at a cooler time... like June! Remember all those comics we published? Blast the AC and chill out with our comics on medication interfering with orgasms, socializing while gay, rejecting gender, and trying to survive as a sex-positive publisher in our current timeline.

Happy 12th Birthday / Pledge Drive Time!

After 12 years of publishing sex-positive comics, Oh Joy Sex Toy turns to its readers for support to keep their doors open-- and you guys turned out! The pledge drive was a stunning success, outperforming our minimum number of sign-ups needed by about 130% Thank you so much to everyone who joined us here to keep the site going for another year-- and all the Patreon-only bonus comics that accompanied them!

Side Effects by Bea Tormo
