Haha WHAT
So Patreon sent me a motherfucking PLAQUE for reaching 1,000 patrons!
It's super nice and came with little cloth gloves to wear just for handling it (Which, of course, I have no yet used). This was completely unexpected! There was no email warning; it just showed up in a giant box at my studio. Actually, my gut instinct on receiving this mysterious box was to assume a stalker had sent me a dead animal??? I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT WAS THE FIRST PLACE MY MIND WENT. But, yeah! A c...

Remember: SEX SHOULD NOT BE PAINFUL.
If you or your partner experiences vaginal pain (for whatever reason, sexual or not), something is not right! Fortunately, there are solutions and workarounds, which you can learn ab...
In a previous post, I explained Oh Joy Sex Toy's pretty unique business relationship with Limerence Press. Short version: Matt and I are still the book publisher (we produce the book) and Limerence is physically sending our books to mainstream distribution channels (Diamond Comic Distributors and probably some others, I dunno!) who will get our books into comic shops and book stores; venues we did n...

We are struggling to be excited with our reviews!
Being excited about sex stuff is what we're ALL about. It’s the heart of what we want to do with Oh Joy Sex Toy. But recently we've been getting toys that are good, not great, not amazing, and it’s been hard to write ab...

The Doxy is the vibrator by which I judge all other clitoral-based sex toys. No company has made a wand vibrator that delights me as thoroughly as it. But then, the Doxy company attempted to improve upon perfection with the Doxy Die Cast! Is it worth its significantly more expensive price tag?

I'm so bummed my cootch just doesn't like rabbit style vibrators, I know I am missing out on some really good times :-/ The Amorino definitely is an innovative, interesting design! I can definitely appreciate it aesthetically.
It's been a while since I drew a pussy shooting a toy out of it like a cannon, wheeeeee!
While I was working on the Quickshot review a couple months ago I hosted a poll on Twitter, asking how one punctuates this word:

A work colleague has mentioned a few times that I really should do more negative reviews, that doing so many positive ones makes me look biased. We were emailing yesterday about this and they mentioned how one of their favorite past times is to read negative movie reviews, how it excites a part of their brain. I replied with the following and thought maybe you guys would appreciate seeing how my brain processes poor evaluations and why I approach them the way that I do:
