AVN gives Kudos to Sex Educators
This great article came out in AVN recently and I wanted to make sure our readers also got a chance to read it. Written by Jamye Waxman it gives a brief history of sex educators in our industry. It’s refreshing not only to see these people acknowledged but to see [...]

One of my reps just told me about this lawsuit and it serves as a reminder that the right to access pleasure products, book and DVDs is not actually a right… it is something that is constantly under attack and people in our industry and beyond are constantly having to fight for… read on.
Here’s the [...]

Good Vibrations tends to have a lot of in-store events. Whether it’s an After Hours Class, erotica reading, how-to, product launch etc… we like bringing folks into our stores for eats and treats. And we always hope people leave a little happier whether it’s from the information they learned or from the [...]

Yesterday I found myself sitting in the doctors’ office wearing in an ill-fitting paper gown made for somebody several sizes smaller than me. Gratefully they’d provided a paper “blanket” to put across my lap but at this point it was allowing more coverage than just my lap and for that I was thankful.
Feeling like I’d [...]

In the few weeks or so we should have our copies of Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships written by sexpert Tristan Taormino. The reviews are in and this book is landmark. Not only is Tristan’s writing accessible and relevant to people considering exploring polyamory but it’s also great for folks [...]

I recently came across an article on AVN.com which discussed a claim made by a Leighton Professor of Law at Northwestern University in his paper Porn Up Rape Down that “a decline in reported rape of 85% in the past 25 years can be tied to an increase in pornography consumption.”
As a woman in this [...]

I care about the environment. I care about being “green” and try to “do my part”, whether at work or in my personal life. I buy organic. I recycle, reuse and try to reduce. I compost. I buy composting baggies for picking up my dog’s waste (http://www.ecoanimal.com/poopbags.html) . Heck, I buy composting [...]

A few months back my girl boyfriend and I were out with another couple – very cute double date style but more laid back than fancy. Working in the adult industry I tend to be the default go-to when friends have questions about toys, dildos or anything sex related. And since my sig other also [...]

I am up to my knees in porn. I’ve always been a fan but this is a little extreme. I recently took on the DVD selection and since I haven’t been in sales for two years I have a lot of catching up to do.
But like many in porn, I am rising to the [...]

I was just reading up on a news story about a Somethin’ Sexy store clerk being arrested early this month in Lubbock, Texas for selling sex toys for an undercover police officer. Yes, you read that right… an undercover police officer.
There are so many things wrong with this story that my head is [...]

Last month I was blog-hopping along and linked my way onto www.redhandedporn.com, a pay site where you have access to six episodes a month showing six different performers masturbating away! Instantly I sensed how unique this pay-for-porn site was from many of the others I’d stumbled upon and wanted to know more.
Since May is Masturbation [...]

There’s all this talk on condoms and toys with phthalates . I’ve been blog-hopping and have read a lot of different takes and it seems there really is a lot of confusion, in the industry and with our customers.
So I feel like I should break it down.
Good Vibrations suggests that our customers use condoms on [...]

I have to say that I was super disappointed that I wasn’t able to attend the GAYVN Summit this year. My sweetie has been sick and therefore we were really up for attending seminars or getting all dressed up for the Awards… and everybody knows I love me an awards show!
Here’s what AVN.com had posted [...]

Whew. That was a long road we just went down… but one well worth the wait! For months and months we have been busy discussing whether or not we should continue to offer vibrators and dildos that contain phthalates. The issue was that we really believe in the importance of offering affordable options for all [...]

Over the last week there have been some blows to our industry and I’ve been meaning to write about it since I heard. But, as many of you may know, the last week was also a busy one for this industry, with Valentine’s Day and all, so it has taken me until now.
In an unanimous [...]

Day 1
I arrived in Las Vegas on January 9th, the day before the AVN show began. I’m one of those people who prefer to arrive early and leave later. My friends call it FOMS – Fear Of Missing Something – and I’ll admit… I have it bad. I always insist on arriving at the movie [...]

We just picked up a new product that when it first arrived I truly was not sure what I thought of it…so there it sat. Every once and in a while I’d glance over, trying to figure out what it was about this pink triangle that was causing, no pun intended, such a buzz. Finally [...]

I’m in one of those relationships that can be explained by what technology we own. She has a Mac and I have a PC. When we tell people that, they always seem to nod as if that explains everything about our dynamic. Though I wish somebody would explain it to me.
We both own iPods though [...]

A few weeks ago, GreenPeace issued a press release calling for the ban of phthalates in adult novelties in the European Union. This is not the first time there that phthalates have been banned, but it is the first time the safety of sex toys, and sex toy material, has been discussed in such a [...]

I love my job.
It’s that simple.
Not only do I get to work for one of the most amazing companies but I also get to spend my days picking out the best and newest items for our customers! It’s a blast. And at the same time it’s one of the most surreal jobs I can imagine.
Here’s [...]
