• Strap-On Advice - Jun 21, 2006
  

  I get asked for sex toy advice pretty often...go figure, I have a ton of them! Here's the advice I usually give... Blowfish and Good Vibrations - are excellent places to shop. Another favorite of mine is Toys in Babeland...

• Babeland Buyers - Mar 30, 2006
  

  Now how on earth did I generate almost $800 of sales for Babeland in just a month?! Could whoever mass-purchased e-mail me so I can send you a thank-you? I still have only gotten three responses for comments on how...

• GaydarGirls is Anti-Trans - Nov 20, 2005
  

  As if Michigan's rules against transwomen weren't bad enough, now GaydarGirls.com has made a fool of itself by banning a paid member because she hasn't completed her SRS. Here's what I sent them: Hello, I wanted to express my dismay...

• New Dildo Style - Oct 4, 2005
  

  Whee, here's a new dildo, courtesy Tristan Taormino! It's called the Tuning Fork Dildo (and I don't wonder why...): I'd love to get that in silicone as well as metal...woo!...

• Japanese Stuff - Aug 31, 2005
  

  Remember the PerfectFlex ladies who are on CyDy from time to time? This site was promoted to me as having a gallery of erotic contortionist photos...but it appears to all be in Japanese, so I'm not sure what's going on...

• No More Toys - Aug 20, 2005
  

  So am I the absolute last person to realize that Toys in Babeland has changed their name and is now simply called Babeland? And that they've been selling their products through Amazon for more than a year? Holy crap. I'm...

• Admitting What We Like - Aug 3, 2005

• Girlfriends Survey - Jul 15, 2005
  

  The current feature on the website for Girlfriends magazine is a sex survey! I just love surveys. Unfortunately it's not set up to be filled in online, you have to print it and either snail-mail or fax it to them....

• Faking Female Orgasms - Jun 23, 2005
  

  Via Se7en comes a news story entitled No faking female orgasm in scientific research. Apparently certain sections of a woman's brain are only stimulated during a legitimate orgasm, and not during a faked one. Nobody has mentioned whether this is...

• Look, Latex! - Mar 7, 2005
  

  It's a shoot she did with her identical twin sister for a site called Fetish Eyes. If you like latex, gas masks, and/or wetsuits you will love this.

• The Art and Politics of Netporn - Feb 12, 2005
  

  One category I found a bit odd was queer/gender/gay, because to me those are different subjects and I could see them each having separate sections of their own!

  I did take a few minutes to start putting together the kinky toys section of the CyDy Blog Shop.

• Betty Dodson's Non-Monogamy - Dec 7, 2004
  

  Her attitude toward non-monogamy (she hates the word polyamory) is that it's freeing. Instead of hiding and cheating, people can partake of their desires for others while still returning to their primary partner.

• Human Sexuality Survey - Nov 18, 2004
  

  There are some flaws in this survey, but I figured I'd mention it anyway because I'm keen to see what alternative they come up with to the Kinsey scale and Klein grid.

• OOB Dec 2004/Jan 2005 - Nov 17, 2004
  

  Nina Hartley's advice column, formerly up front, has shifted toward the back of the magazine (after the pictorials) along with the How To section; Adventure Girl joins them near the rear.
