Queer Eye for the Sex Toy Buy
by Ann Whidden of Babeland

We’re pretty sure that it was the queers who invented sex toys—and if we didn’t invent them, at the very least, we perfected their use. And made them safe for the rest of the world. And added the sparkles. After all, we do all the things straight folks do—we just do it with more accessories. So if you consider yourself gay, lesbian, bisexual, intersexed, transgender, queer or questioning and you haven’t gotten around to sex toys, here’s a quick overview of the basics—read it quick before they take your gay card away.  And if you I.D. as straight-but-not-narrow, then, sugar, there’s something here for you, too.

• Going down? If you’re heading downtown for a bite to eat, bring along some of lickable, super tasty and body friendly Babeland Lickable Oils and Lickable Dust, or warm things up with some tingling Good Head Gel. Neck and tongue sore from all that lovin’? Prop them into a neck-friendly position with the Liberator Wedge, or slide on a Trojan fingertip vibrator to finish things off. If they like a little penetration during oral sex, the gorgeous, sculpted Fling dildo curves out of the way so you won’t bruise your chin.

• Generation Penetration. Aim for the G-spot with the functional Jolie or elegant Archer Wand, or go artsy with the hot-pink Lumina. Looking for something a little more realistic? Nothing feels finer than an uber-realistic Vixskin dildo—try the Buck or the Lonestar. For more bang for your buck, slide onto the budget-friendly Big Red or Supercock. And don’t forget a squirt of Babeland’s own Entice lube to slick things up.

• Ride, Sally Ride. Get your dick and then get in the saddle with a classic harness like the luxe two-strap Jaguar or the lesbian fave Joque. Bigger folks will appreciate the clever design of the Crown. What’s in it for you? A little buzz with the Buzz Me Tender. And get your bump and grind on like any good lezzie with the hump-friendly Thigh Harness.

• Seeing Double. No, we don’t mean couples who dress alike. Really. We mean double dildo action (and guys, it can work for you, too...). Try it with any one of the three differently sized Nexus doubles, or slide onto the perfectly-curved Share. Different appetites? Buy the Colt and the Stallion and suction cup the bottoms together. Or try a harness like the Pleasure Principle—you can load it up with an innie for you and an outie for your pal.

• Freedom Rings. They don’t come in rainbow colors, but you’ll still be loud and proud wearing cock-constricting Nitrile Stretch Cock Rings—they stretch a little but hold on tight. More advanced cock ring lovers will appreciate the pressure-point pushing Love Ring, or the added buzz from a Vibrating Leather Cock Ring.

• Butt Seriously. Get into the groove with beginner butt toys like Little Flirt plugs or the graduated spheres of Bendy Beads. Size queens (yeah, you Mary) will get their fill—and stroke the prostate—with the superbly designed Aneros, the heavy, stainless steel Pfun plug, or the extra-large Progasm.

• Different Strokes. Guys can get off cheap and easy with the extra-comfortable, really stretchy Maverick. For a more intense ride, ease on into the Fleshlight, or get pumped up with the Sensation Pump, Looking for lube in all the wrong places? Get wet with super-silky Stroke 29 (not for use with latex), or our thickest condom-compatible lube, the stay-put, water-based Boy Butter.

• Putting the Fluids in Genderfluid. Transmen and genderfluid folks can get packing with the realistic looking Mr. Right or the Soft Pack. How’re they hanging? Just right, thanks to the boxer-friendly Mr. Right Packing Strap and Cock Sock. If you want to pack and play, try the Ballsy cock or super-flexible Mr. Bendy paired with the excellent Undercover harness. If you’re going au natural, pump up your man clit with the Penis Pump—also great on nipples for transwomen looking for temporarily engorgement and lots of sensation.
