10% Tuesdays for Portland Women's Crisis Line
Each Tuesday this month, 10% of our sales will go to the
Portland Women's Crisis Line. PWCL is a hugely important organization that offers 24/7 support to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. PWCL is an invaluable asset to our community, and we are honored to be able to give back to them for the tireless work that they do.
April is also
Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Visit
our blog for a list of resources for thinking about and combating sexual assault.

What's new in the shop
Look at that beauty! The
Velvet from Happy Valley has a smooth, matte surface that we just love. The pronounced head is perfect for G-spot or prostate stimulation, while the slanted, ridged base (with bullet hole!) can stimulate a person wearing the toy in a harness.
We know glass toys can be spendy, so we picked up some less expensive ones! Check out the double-ended
4K Double Pleasure and
Double Trouble, or if you're in the mood for a different texture, the
Joyful Pleasures Flower.
New locally-made massage candles from Vance Family Soy Candles! These come in sturdy glasses and smell devine! We have
Sex on the Beach and
Lavendar, Rosemary & Orange. Stop in to smell 'em!
A few toys have been upgraded this month. There's the new
Key Comet II, which is a vibrating, rechargeable version of the G-spotting
Key Comet G. Plus, the We-Vibe
Touch and
Tango are now USB rechargeable, and the Touch has a silky new finish.
Need some adornment for the bachelorette in your life? We have
two veils to choose from.
'Sup on the blog?
It may come as little surprise for those who regularly engage in BDSM, but researchers are proving why sadomasochism is so alluring: it may actually lead to a different level of consciousness. They found that during sadomasochistic activities, the brain forces blood flow away from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex — facilitating an
altered state of consciousness.
Chances are that at some point over the years, you've come across
Cosmo’s infamous sex tip to put a donut on a penis and eat it off. What you probably don't know is how that tip came to be, how it has been recycled over the years, and how it plays out in practice. Thanks to some rigorous journalism, we have
the full story.
