So I like to think I know what I’m talking about. As someone who’s written about the subject for nearly a decade, I’ve been shipped almost every toy known to man. I’ve recommended my favorite sex toys just in time for the holidays. To acknowledge our influence on the sex toy industry. Hinging on homophobia and misguided beliefs. It is argued because of this fact, stigmas remain attached to heterosexual men using sex toys. This initial influence would ultimately shape the male sex toy market as we see it today.
Go figure.īecause sex toys were so popular with the queer demographic, corporations were smart, designing and marketing products toward gay men. At the time, most of the straights – especially men – were prudes. Since stigma around queer sexuality was so prevalent at the time, gay men felt freer to experiment as they were less tied to heteronormative guidelines. The queer love affair with sex toys began during the sexual liberation movement of the late ‘60s and ‘70s. So, what are the best sex toys for gay boys? Straight men are using sex toys now more than ever and it’s all thanks to gay people.
