In fact her Natural Contours line of vibrators are some of the most aesthetically pleasing toys on the market.

Madeline in the Mirror
Madeline is a mother, lover, sister, therapist, writer and bitch (although in the brief moments I spent with her I didn't see the bitch)...and her insights are refreshing and intelligent. I really enjoy her perspectives from deep in the heart of a small town not anywhere near New York.

Like me, like them (well, maybe):

Andy Horwitz
One of the first bloggers I know of, he's not blogging now, and his site is technically "under construction" but you can find out more about the man if you go there anyway.

Cynra Media
The woman responsible for the design and upkeep of my site. She's groove-a-licious.

Feminists for Free Expression
A not for profit dedicated to preserving individuals rights to freedom of expression. I happen to be their President.

Focus Group Coordinators Journal
It used to be called "Good at Being Cracked Out," but then she got wise(r). The journal of a self-proclaimed snark, I like reading this girl. I like reading her a lot.

HeaterCore
He makes good music. That's about as basic as he gets. I dig dancing to his beats.

Jon Levin's Journal
A cool guy. He's living in Portland now. I like his writing.

Mike Daisey
A great storyteller and a funny, intelligent kind of guy.

Nicole Beland
Freelance journalist, author, Deputy Editor of Women's Health and "The Girl Next Door" at Men's Health, Ms. Beland has got it going on. And she's a fun writer to read.

Places to buy sex toys:

Adam and Eve
If you're looking for the basics you can find them here. Phil Harvey, the companies founder, sells sex to the rich, but does a lot more to help the poor.

Babeland
Formerly Toys in Babeland, now Babeland, I was a sex educator here for five glorious years. This company knows its stuff when it comes to sex, and it's a great place to go for sex toy advice (and purchases). If you're ever in NY, Seattle or LA you should stop in and check them out.

Early 2 Bed
This cool Chicago joint, not only boasts workshops, salons and a book club, but it's focus is on being a women-oriented, boy friendly type of shop. Online you can still feel this vibe, and read their blog, and their fair prices makes this a definite place to shop for sex toys.

Eden Fantasys
A site to buy sex toys, but what I like most is their nice list of the different sex toy materials. I couldn't find a mention of the fact that there are phthalates in jelly rubber, still I think they're a good resource to know about.

Eros Boutique
For some sweet lingerie and other kinkier items, get thee to Eros Boutique (based out of Boston, MA). Not only do they have a large selection of bondage gear and fetish toys, they also have a whole host of wearable hotness and vibrating love. Even Madonna fell in love with their equestrian fetish gear. Love is just a click away.

Freddy and Eddy
Ian and Alicia are the real deal, both personally and professionally. One of my favorite married couples (they've been together over 18 years) they started their online (and terrestrial Venice, CA store) to help couples find ways to restore and resexify their long-term relationships. All their toys are tested, and reviewed, and not only is the site Quality (yes, with a capital Q) but so are they. Plus, they are the only store I know that offers a full return policy, satisfaction guaranteed. Plus they have great prices, and if you can make it to their LA store, Freddy/Ian says they have great coffee.

Good Vibrations
The first women owned and operated sex shop, Good Vibes prides itself on its sex positive ways. Originally a west coast store, they've recently opened a branch in Boston. I really like the Good Vibes line of toys and books.

Hysteria
This Denver based sex shop is not only one of a kind in Colorado, it's also run by a really cool husband and wife team. Great toys, good prices and good souls (isn't that most important), check out Hysteria Sex Shop next time you're looking for a quality sex toy.

Lelo
Really elegant, beautiful sex toys, and they're rechargeable. If you've got the money to spend, these are some of the nicest toys I've ever played with.

Pure Pleasure
A sweet spot in Santa Cruz. This smallish mother/daughter shop has a number of quality products and great, hard-to-find lubes, plus it's always got plenty of workshops going on. Whether you're just stopping by SC, or if you're online and you want to support a family-run business, check these fabulous ladies out.

Natural Contours
A beautiful, classy line of hard plastic sex toys. This is the Candida Royalle line of sex toys.

The Smitten Kitten
This uber-progressive Minneapolis based sex shop is the first and only sex toy retailer to exclusively sell non-toxic toys. They are also the only retailer who founded and operates an adult consumer advocacy and industry education organization- The Coalition Against Toxic Toys. And they're big into outreach too.
