Sexual power play has an almost universal appeal as light aspects of dominance and submission are part of many people’s sex lives. Holding a partner’s arms down to take control of the pleasure giving. Submitting to your lover as they please you by taking total control of your sexual encounter with bondage restraints and blindfolds. These are common place behaviors in most people’s sexual lives and many would be surprised to learn that this could be described as S/M or D/s sexual play. Those terms bring a plethora of images but in reality S/M play can be very a safe way to explore fantasy and expand intimacy.

Condoms have a bad wrap. People will go to great lengths to avoid using them, or do so  begrudgingly. Sure, years ago condoms were pretty much a bore and a bit of a chore, but those days are long gone. Safe sex is sexy and that isn’t just a slogan anymore. Condoms come in every shape, size, color and texture you can imagine! Many add sensation as well as pleasure to naked time. If this is news to you, I bet you are doing most of your condom shopping at the local drug store. Your best bet for finding the latest sexually enhancing fun is to check out the expanded selections of condoms for sale online.

Adult novelties can be a confusing term for some people. Often it had been used in place of "sex toys" for marketing purposes and in conversation where the word sex would not be acceptable or comfortable for people. As toys and sexual accessories become more sophisticated and more common place, the term is now lacks accuacy. You can still buy adult novelties though! Adult novelties continue to be a strong presence in virtually every adult store online or off. This term now more appropriately covers the wealth of amusing, sometimes x-rated, assortment of gag gifts, cards, bags, and bachelor or bachelorette supplies. You can even find the less risque adult novelties in party stores. Oh how far we've come!

Sex toys are for everybody with a body, without regards to gender, identity or disability. No matter who you are or how your body finds pleasure there is a toy out there for you. Currently in stores online and off there has been a push towards promoting vibrators for women, which some find confusing. “Aren’t all vibrators for women?” No, not at all. While anyone can find enjoyment of these toys, they are designed with the female bodied buyer in mind.

Sexual products don't have a gender or a sexuality. Using sexual products doesn't "make" you anything besides a person who is at least a little experimental in your sex life. Beyond basic safety (don't put anything in your bum without a flared base/retrieval cord, don't use oil based lubricants with condoms as they cause them to break down..) any sexual accessory can be used by any person with an adventurous spirit and some creativity regardless of how they define themselves. Often toys are seen as being just for certain people. Straight products for straight women, gay products for gay men. A majority of products are packaged and marketed towards a straight audience, which leaves out everyone else. While the products listed here are not solely for gay men, they are packaged and marketed for the consumer looking to buy gay sex toys!

Masturbation is still a four letter word for many. People who skip merrily into a store to get a toy to use with their partner can turn skittish at the idea of buying something for solo use. Women using vibrators has become more socially accepted, but there is still a stigma against men using masturbators. There is a false idea that masturbators are simply for those “poor souls” who can’t get “the real thing”. We ask you to put that notion out of your head. Masturbation is sex. Using male masturbators is a fun celebration of your own sexuality!

Recent years have shown a lifting of the taboos around anal play. While enjoyment of that powerful bud of erogenous sensitivity has been around since the dawn of time, up until fairly recently few wanted to be counted among the number of butt play enthusiasts. While all genders can and do enjoy anal stimulation, those of us who are male bodied are quickly becoming converts and picking butt plugs in droves.
