Speaking from professional experience and knowledge, crawl before you walk. A dildo or two to practice on will be a better gauge of how much you want to take without the additional 3 digit cost of a fuck machine.

Thank you! :) It's all part of the job :)
Sometimes dildos aren't for self pleasure but for breaking the ice without breaking the bank! This is where TPE and low cost PVC dildos really shine!
Just be sure to dispose of them properly. Be safe!
The question is if this weekend will be enough to pull people out into the weather and into the store.
I hope so! It's way more fun in here to see everything and get an idea of sizes and effects.
Just make sure y'all dress warm, see you in the store!
Snow, rain, or extreme double digit cold will keep people who aren't there for necessity out. Today it is incredibly fucking cold.
As seen in December and January, if the cold snap lasts a few days, people will eventually come in as they acclimate to it. Between snow and cold, this week is crap.
Factoring foot traffic, residences and landmarks, and upcoming events as if those were the only forces at play misses one of the biggest factors in clients and daily sales.
So let's talk about the weather.
My store, or any brick and mortar store, honestly, depends on decent weather for clients.
I don't often open on weekdays, but I am this week due to scheduling requirements and it has been very slow today which is obviously disconcerting for any business.
That said, my own projection models for the last month and a half have been incredibly out of whack. It's weeks of feast or famine. πͺ‘
6) And if you're alone for Valentine's, no sweat! Come on in and get yourself something nice! We'll be happy to see you!
Happy Valentine's everyone, see you in the store!
5) Little dice and card games and coupon books you'll find in the joke aisle are a fun addition to your gift. Chocolates and candy are also welcome! Edible wearables, not so much. If pasta is available, GET IT.
4) Massage oil is a great idea, but make sure you know if your partner has sensitive skin or nut allergies before purchase. An alternative like massage cream or powder may be a better option. If you want something to massage and lubricate, go with silicone lube and light s nice candle instead.
3) If you want to get lingerie, ask yourself if this is something they would be excited to wear versus something you want them to wear. If you're getting them stockings, look for the word silicone on the package so they stay up.
2) If you're going to buy a vibrator and don't know the kind of sensation they like most, a wand is going to be your best bet. These are versatile for fun and health. I have yet to see anyone try to return one in disappointment.
Hey y'all!
Since it's the week leading up to Valentine's Day, I'm gonna give you a good buyer's guide to help you pick out what to get your significant other! πͺ‘
1) Gift card/certificate. Autonomy is sexy and shows you care about their needs. Get it in advance and make a date shopping together!

A very big announcement!! Yeeee!!
OMG What even is this thing? Who is it for? And does OMG even exist anymore? New video time!

Tentaclaus and I would like to wish you all very happy holidays, whether they've just passed (Hanukkah, Yule) or are pending (Xmas, New Years)! Be safe, have fun, see you in the store! Today is the last day for the holiday playlist!
The shit absolutely hit the fan at the beginning of the month due to a death in my partner's family. My main focus has been on supporting him. Everything else was pushed to the wayside, obviously. My current projects will make their way back into focus when there is room.
Thank you, be well β€οΈ
Hi everybody! I know it's been a bit so I'll explain what's up:
The studio stuff has arrived for the new videos. I'm still working on scripts to get them right.
I'm editing the book, page by page, and there are a lot of changes to make!
I put out an album called Felt...
But...
This is just a friendly reminder to be kind and patient to retail workers today. Thanks!
Hey you know what would be awesome?
Supporting this Kickstarter to bring this classic gay documentary back to life! There are only a few days left!

Since I like stepping into sex shops when I travel, I really want to give a shout-out to Wicked Wanda's in Ottawa for their hospitality and the pelvic floor discussion!

I know I'm recycling previous costumes, but i can't see shit out of the Adam Maitland costume.

After a few months, a concussion, and an album, it's time to edit!
Sorry I'm just seeing this so late. While I haven't encountered one in the wild, that's not to say they don't exist.
The closest I've seen is actually a strap-on attached to the flared base of a butt plug by Strap On Me.
Double enders can be crass or class,
But should not be inserted into ones' ass
Without a flared base, it'll disappear fast
And you'll need medical help to get it to pass
Hi everybody!! I know it's been a bit and a half as I was recovering and focusing on a different creative endeavor for a month (disintegrationist.bandcamp.com) but I have some exciting news! We ordered a bunch of studio equipment so I can start working on new videos soon π·π»ββοΈβ€οΈ
That is a great way to do it! Sadly this was all squidgy, no buzz.
