“Dobbs dick” should be a euphemism for something….

Having the flu and a laptop is a strangely productive/unproductive experience.

But, that aside, my Amazon astore is up and running, with tons of books, a few very sexy videos and even a few sex toys and accessories. A tour:

The featured pages are where I’ll be putting all the new and just-discovered stuff (like Visions Within the Mechanism), and upcoming titles (like Best Sex Writing 2008 and Best Women’s Erotica 2008). And cheap Liquid Silk, nice.

The ensuing categories are pretty self-explanatory, muchly based on my work as book and video copywriter/reviewer at Good Vibes for almost 8 years, plus my active involvement in the sex ed, porn, sex blog and sex lit scene during and since my time there. I get a lot of emails asking for sex advice and book recommendations. I think that this custom store is a great way for people to find literature to help navigate their own individuated sexualities, and most indy outlets just can’t afford to stock complete sex libraries anymore. That’s where Amazon comes in to carry the weight. And for sex toys: even if you buy your sex gear from somewhere much more dedicated and serious than Amazon’s slim, less-informed pickings that I’ve included, that’s a really good thing — I hope you’ll give your money to places like Mr. S / Madame S, Stockroom, Good Vibes, Babeland, Blowfish and all the other indy sex shops I love before you plunk down cash to a corporation.

That said — the toys I put in my store are very limited in range, and high-end. There were *no* reputable harness makers on Amazon, so buy a harness and good silicone dicks from my pals at the aforementioned indy stores.

So dig the featured products I’m intrigued with right now — Church of the Subgenius condoms (OMG Bob’s on ur dick!), and other art condoms like Winston Smith condoms, Ron English condoms, Robert Williams condoms, Trevor Brown condoms, Peter Bagge Hate condoms, and more. Kewl.
