Finally, Sex Toy Reviews Done as Hilarious Comics

In the vast, digital sea of gadget review blogs, Erika Moen's website has two things that set it apart. First, since she's an artist and cartoonist, her reviews aren't just text—they're comics. Second, she reviews sex toys.
When Moen launched Oh Joy, Sex Toy in April, 2013, she wanted to do something creative on the subject of sex, with a little help from her personal gadget stockpile. The site has since developed a dedicated readership that visits more than a million times a month, and Moen's new book of Oh Joy, Sex Toy comics is getting more orders than she can keep up with.
Moen co-writes the comics with her husband, Matt Nolan, with each reviewing toys for the relevant genitals. And since there is, in theory, anyway, a limit to how many sex toys anyone needs, her weekly updates alternate between reviews, how-tos, sex education, and even illustrated interviews with sex workers.
'There's a lot more to it than just looking for a sex toy. We try to create stories with the comics, to make them self-contained nuggets of entertainment,' Moen says when I visit her Periscope Studio in Portland, Oregon. 'I hear from asexuals who say, 'I have no interest in personally, but I enjoy the comics so I'm reading it anyway.''
But what really makes Oh Joy, Sex Toy special—not just in the world of gadgets but the world of sex—is how, well, joyful it is. Rather than the mechanical monotony of most pornography or the clinical detachment of so much sex education, Moen's comics are funny, charming, even sweet. Everyone she depicts in sexual situations seem to be having a fantastic time—smiling, joking, and sometimes literally high-fiving.
'When I made a comic about butt sex, I put in so many amazing, quality butt puns—as many I could possibly think of,' says Moen. 'I think people should laugh about sex. When you make people laugh, you make them feel included and their guard goes down. You can make it friendly and approachable. I want people to feel like they're part of the conversation

Hey, that's a step in the right direction, as in sex is supposed to be a fun thing! I do think people in general and those on this site in particular, take it all too seriously, as in if some guy invites you to bang his wife while he watches, and while you enjoy doing so, in the process thereof he momentarily tickles your scrotum, and you pull your 38 from the shoulder holster you're still wearing, point it at his head and assert that your profile does not say "bi-curious", what i'm trying to say is that it seems that we take all of this far too seriously, guess it's an unfortunate bi-product of living in this severely disturbed country of ours........

humour. . . . at last!!!! :rotflmao:

Glad you liked that SDM, yes I do have a sense of humor, I can vividly picture that guy banging away wearing only a shoulder holster with a loaded and cocked handgun in it, really taking to heart that stuff he learnt in the boyscouts about "being prepared"..........

...And yeah, humor apart and in a more constructive vein, I do feel we should start a "SEXTOY REVIEW" thread on this forum for all of those/us that are 'toy-positive', as in exercising our 'social responsibility', enlightening like-minded folks not to waste their money on shit that doesn't deliver what the packaging says, so I'm encouraging all members to buy toys and send them to us, we will test them (free of charge) and post a comprehensive performance report on this site for everyone's benefit! Once the 'evaluation' is completed, we undertake to return said toy to the rightful owner, unless alternative disposal instructions are included with the submission of the device in question! Having designed and constructed numerous "home entertainment devices", we feel that we are in a unique position to evaluate their performance in terms of orgasmic potential, bang for buck,ergonomic convenience, and especially (haveto include this one nowadays) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT!!!  Are you aware that the use of sextoys has a significant impact on GLOBAL WARMING!!!! According to government accredited and verified sources, each and every female orgasm generated by one of those cheap chingchong vibrators injects a whole 4 mJoules of heat into the atmosphere, leading to ozone depletion, etc, we need to be really discerning in terms of what toys we buy, and yesss, we are prepared (freee of charge, no less) to do that evaluation for you, so that your environmental concerns will remain assuaged .........
