How To Become a Sex Toy Reviewer (Q&A #6)

When people ask me what I do, I often joke that I masturbate for a living. That is, of course, a huge oversimplification. But as a person whose job title includes the words “sex toy reviewer,” it is kind of true.

Sometimes I feel like I should only discuss the faults and merits of the product and let consumers determine their own feelings about the cost…

L’amourose Prism V Review

When I say that the L’amourose Prism V is my perfect vibrator, I am not using that word lightly. I test sex toys for a living, after all, and I sugarcoat nothing — the things I love still tend to come with a list of caveats, and the things I hate are spared no snarky comment or complaint. I want the sex toy industry to be better, and part of making it better is through critique…

The Best (And Worst) Sex Toys of 2016

As the year draws to a close, I just want to take a little look back over a lot of the sex toys I tried this year. Things I loved. Things I hated. Mostly things I loved, honestly — as shitty as this year was in a lot of regards, it was a pretty good year for sex toys (at least for me)! So let’s dive into many of the wonders and disappointments 2016 brought into my life…
