I'm sitting at the kitchen table when I shift my weight, reach down, and discreetly pull on one butt cheek. My fart comes out relatively silently (just a gentle 'ffft'). A second later, from across the room, Matt gags, then angrily demands to know if that was me. I blame the dog. (We have no dog)

important: what endearing thing do the screenwriters of the movie of your life have you doing in an early scene when you're by yourself to establish your quirky likeability?

i'm listening to Al Green's "Love and Happiness" and singing the backup singers' lines in falsetto while chopping garlic

@jpawlik.com wants to strap on their first strap-on but they are sadly strapped for cash. Fortunately their partner shows them this is project they can DIY... together.
www.ohjoysextoy.com/journal-entr...
Journal Entry DIY Strap-Ons Comic by Jey Pawlik, done in cool minty green tones with heavy blacks and black linework on top of textured paper with handwritten notes, stickers and washi tape made to look like a scrapbook. Young Jey in this comic is a questioning nonbinary person who uses they/them pronouns, has thin rectangular glasses, shaggy black hair and wearing simple clothes like a hoodie with jeans throughout the comic. Their partner, Max, is thin and sports a dark bob haircut, and wears a long sleeved top and skinny jeans. Narration: Back in our 20s, my partner and I visited Good For Her (a local sex toy shop) in Toronto. While we’d never been before – I was eager to take a look and maybe buy my very first strap on. Jey and Max arrive at the shop and start looking around in awe. They pick up a fancy looking strap-on, but the price tag is immensely high reading “$$$” and Jey says “Oh no, that price tho.” Their partner replies “Yeesh, yeah we can’t afford that on our budgets. Maybe we can find something smaller? More affordable?” and Max looks over to see a pack of o-rings for cheap. “You know what? We could just make our own strap-ons!” Max exclaims. Jey replies “Wait, for real?!” The two run off hand in hand as Max says “C’mon, I’ll explain when we get back to my place.” Narration: The o-rings were a lot cheaper. Max holds up a pair of regular boxer-briefs and says “I took a sewing class so altering these should be easy-peasy.” And Jey looks on excitedly and replies “Excellent! Okay, I’m so ready!” Max says “Okay, so what we’ll need is:” as xey gesture to sticker versions of the items you’ll need to make your own strap-on. Scissors, needle and thread, o-rings, and boxer-briefs (preferably a tight-fit). A pink ribbon unfurls over the page stating, "Read the rest on OhJoySextoy.com"

www.patreon.com/posts/143161...
A Small, Hungry Child by Erika Moen, November 8, 2025, https://www.patreon.com/posts/143161749 The comic is illustrated with a textured pen line and grainy, watercolor paper texture with a limited palette of oranges, yellows, and browns. Panel 1 A mother kneels on the floor of an international airport, interacting with her toddler. Her word balloon is twisted into loops, filled with squiggles and random letters. Her baby babbles back with the same kind of twisted word balloon and squiggles. Sitting in one of the long rows of waiting chairs, Erika peeks over her shoulder at the two. She is a white, middle-age white woman with a short poof of bangs and shaved head. Next to her sits her husband, who has salt-and-pepper hair, wears big chunky glasses, and is playing on his phone. Panel 2 "It really bums me out how much I've forgotten all my French." Erika sulks to Matt, who looks up from his phone.

@shelbycriswell.bsky.social shows us how to be an animal in the bedroom while still keeping vegan!
www.ohjoysextoy.com/vegan-bedroo...
Vegan Bedroom by Shelby Criswell, published November 18, 2018 for https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/vegan-bedroom-shelby-criswell Shelby Criswell draws in an exuberant cartoon style with thick, blocky shapes and thin ink lines. Their color palette is flat teal-greens, mustard yellow, pinky-red, and warm gray. Page 1 "Hey folks, it's Shelby! I'm Baaaaaaack!!!" They exclaim, bursting onto the page with confetti. They have short cropped hair and sport thick-rimmed glasses, along with tattoos up and down their white-colored arms. Their septum is pierced and they wear a black wrist watch along with a red kerchief around their neck, yellow t-shirt (with pit stains), black jeans, and red high top sneakers. A white bunny rabbit chills beside them, munching on a carrot serenely. "And I just recently celebrated my one year of being vegan." Gesturing at a freestanding chalkboard with a pointer, Shelby explains, "If you don't know what that means, here's a quick definition:" Written on the board in green chalk is the text, "Vegan: Someone who doesn't consume products made from animals in any form." The bunny looks on at it while wearing a high school graduation cap. "What are you getting at, Shelby?" Asks a person with gray-toned skin, hoop piercings, and short curly hair on top of their head with the rest shaved off on the sides. They wear a white t-shirt with text and orange illustration on it, red shorts with a black belt, and a black jacket that's had the sleeves removed and is now festooned with spikes, studs, and patches. "Aw well," Shelby replies. "I thought about other things I could make vegan in my life, and my mind immediately went to my bedroom and sex toys." The stranger looks at Shelby incomprehensibly, saying "..." Running at full speed, Shelby continues, "Hey! I promise I'm not gonna' be preachy, you do you boo. I swear this stuff will be interesting, let me explain..." Now in the produce aisle at the grocery store, they hold up curved, oblong vegetables- a green cucumber in one hand and a yellow long gourd in the other. "Okay, so after looking into it, I've learned quite A LOT," They expound, leering at the yellow gourd with their tongue out cheekily. "like you don't have to use veggies as dildos, haha! You can use real sex toys!" "Turns out going vegan in the bedroom isn't as hard as it might seem! Most of the toys I already had were animal-free. Majority of sex toy materials are too, LIKE THESE:" Over in the Sex Toys aisle of this grocery store, Shelby gestures at a large classical museum-fancy picture frame, upon which is mounted four penetrative toys. They are labeled: Glass: a curved scepter with multiple bulbs over it. Plastic: A candy-colored smooth phallus with extra bumps and ridges at either end. Silicone: A big veiny, realistic penis replica. Stainless Steel: A curved, tapered rod with a smaller bulb on one end and a larger bulb on the other. "The only material that might not be completely vegan is jelly rubber, since it may contain gelatin or casein, a milk product. Be careful if you're allergic or intolerant!" Cautions Shelby as they toss a realistic penis toy over their shoulder, which jiggles as it soars through the air. "Jelly rubber toys are also a bacterial headache! They are porous, so they can't be completely anitized, BLEGH! It's much more worth it to fork over a few extra bones for nice stuff!" "bye." The bunny waves at the dildo as it flies over their head, wobbling. Holding their hands over their head, Shelby summons an enormous rainbow-striped phallus. "Speaking of ingredients, I also thought about the colors that toys come in, and all of my online searches on this came with absolutely no results." Full transcript: https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/vegan-bedroom-shelby-criswell "Alright, alright I'm interested." The stranger acquiesces. "...What about condoms?? I still wanna be safe, ya'know?" "GOOD QUESTION!" Replies Shelby while executing a perfect punch and kick of enthusiasm mid-air. "Most condoms and dental dams are made of latex, which is a plant-based material. BUT! Some of them use casein to make the outside smooth. There are a few large brands making latex-free condoms that are safe to use. OR you can buy directly from a vegan brand." To demonstrate, Shelby rips open a condom packet. Leaning in discreetly, the person asks, "What about luuuuuuube?" "OH YEAH!" Shelby exclaims. "The only lube ingredient that might not be vegan is glycerin. Lubes usually have their ingredients listed on the bottle and might specify if the glycerin is plant-based or not." They say while confidently marching across the panel- unaware that their bunny friend has just knocked over a bottle of lube onto the floor right in front of them. "BUUUUUT," Shelby exclaims, slipping in the lube puddle. "even if you're not planning on going vegan in the bedroom, glycerins are good to avoid! It's sugar, and sugars encourage yeast infections in vulvas..." "butt hurt!!!" The caption helpfully announces where Shelby lands on their butt. "OUCH!!" Yelps Shelby, who quickly recovers- albeit with cartoon stars swirling around their head. "Let's move onto kinky stuff..." Ripping open their shirt, they reveal a faux-leather strappy bondage harness with O-rings criss-crossing across their shoulders and ribcage. "Harnesses, collars, whips, and other BDSM items are usually made out of leather. BUT! A lot of companies and crafters are able to make the same quality items out of materials like vinyl, chains, and faux leather." Holding up a bundle of rope, they continue, "Ropes are almost always vegan, but some are treated with honey or have dyes that are sourced from animals and bugs." The bunny, now decked out in faux-leather gear, cracks a whip at the rope bundle, speaking a word balloon that is filled with a drawing of a cartoon carrot. "When it comes to furniture and other sexy things like clothing, watch out for fur and silk." Shelby says seductively, now laying on top of a giant red wedge shape (Labeled "Sexy Ramp") that sits on top of a bed. They have changed into an open yellow blouse and green polk-dotted underwear with little lace edging around the leg holes. "Real furs are skinned from animals, and silk is made from boiling silkworms in their cocoons. These materials tend to be more expensive anyway, hahah!" The Sexy Ramp now floats on a sea of sex toys and accoutrements, with Shelby resting on top like a raft. "If a product's box doesn't have the materials listed, you can easily contact the manufacturer! But all in all, it was pretty easy for me to go vegan in the bedroom, which left me PLENTY of time to get to the sexy good stuff!"

Post you from a different era.

2001, for my 18th birthday a bunch of my comics internet friends pitched in together to buy me my first drawing tablet (& three devil rubber duckies). It didn't have a screen, it was like a pen-mouse so you could draw on the computer it plugged in to.
A white teenage girl dressed in a black bulky sweater and black skirt kneels on the floor, holding up a Graphire 2 digital drawing tablet. Three red devil rubber ducks are also resting on it. The girl has chin-length brown hair that's pulled back by a headband.

@erikamoen.bsky.social is in for a magical weekend when she heads down to a Magic Wand masturbation conference! In addition to sitting in on a science-packed presentation on the health benefits of flicking the bean, Erika lives her best life indulging in luxuries
www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-magic-wand...
A Magic Wand Weekend by Erika Moen published November 4, 2025 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-magic-wand-weekend-erika-moen Erika Moen draws in a simple, cartoony style in a pink palette with black line work. There is a soft watercolor texture on her work. Erika is a middle age cis white woman wearing a black tank top, pink shorts, and black boots. She has poofy bangs and tattoos on her arms. "Outta my way, bitches!" Erika announces as she zips through the air, holding on to the end of her Magic Wand vibrator that is flying around the room like a miniature rocket. "I'm buzzin' down to a-" Title: Masturbation Conference! A close-up of the Magic Wand shows a round white head with vibration lines coming off it. It sits atop a thin neck which connects to a much thicker and longer handle that has buttons on it. The cord coming out from the bottom of the wand winds up and around the rectangular panel, creating a boarder around the following text. Narration: The Magic Wand is, of course, the most iconic vibrator of the last half century. Obviously their sponsorship makes my praise sound bought, but I was crowing about The Magic Wand in my comic more than a decade before I ever worked with them professionally. "What can I say?" Asks Erika with a shrug while the wand levitates over her hand like magic. "S'why they wanted to work with me in the first place!" Narration: So earlier this year, I got an email from Magic Wand HQ... "Hey Erika," An anthropomorphic Magic Wand says cheerily as it protrudes out of a laptop monitor. "we're funding the first scientifically-backed study of vibrator use. Would you provide some illustrations to recruit participants?" Solemnly, Erika holds up one finger, answering, "Okay, 1) Cool, and 2) YES." "Great!" Enthuses the vibrator, who is typing away at their own laptop, back in their home base. "...Wanna come to the official, fancy conference in Napa Valley when we present the research? We'll fly ya out and put you up, just draw a comic about it to share with The Internet." Narration: Which brings us to the day before my trip. Running frantically in circles, Erika exclaims, "I should be packing!!!!" Caption: (Doing everything except that.) Date: June 8th Stopping and intently holding her fingers to her temples to calm herself, she says, "Okay, Erika, it's 11pm, you NEED to get your shit together and PACK for your morning flight tomorrow." Matt leans in from off-panel, holding up a cordless Magic Wand, and asks, "Did you try the Waterproof Magic Wand they sent us to review? "--Uh??" Erika asks in surprise. "They're definitely going to ask you about it at the conference, go test it out!!!" He urges. Holding the wand with determination, she answers, "Ok! Ok! A quick wank in the tub and then--" A loud "tkk-" and then "ZOT" send the panel into pitch blackness. Only Erika's eyes are visible in the dark as she sarcastically comments, "Of course." Narration: Not even a power outage can stop me from fulfilling my work obligations. Who says Millennials don't know how to work hard? In silhouette, Erika reclines in a clawfoot bathtub with a "bzzzzzzzzzz" sound effect emanating from it. Resting on the ground, only a couple candles and the flashlight on her cellphone illuminate the scene. Caption: (Wand review: Very Good) Date: June 9th Narration: I arrive in San Francisco! Erika's hand holds up her phone with a text message on the screen reading, "We're all meeting at Baggage Claim in Terminal 2! -The Magic Wand Liaison." "Go it!" Erika announces confidently as she marches to the right side of the hallway. Behind her, a terminal sign is partially obscured by her word balloon. With Erika off the panel, the sign is now revealed to read, "Terminal 2" with a big arrow pointing to the right. A thoroughly exhausted Erika returns, now walking towards the right in the same direction as the sign is indicating. Narration: I walked the entire length of the terminal before realizing my mistake. A luxury SUV bounces down the road in silhouette with a little "vroom!" sound effect. Narration: Magic Wand had us chauffeured the hour and a half drive to Napa Valley. "Such luxury!" Thinks Erika from inside the car. "Is this what it feels like to be the queen?" A pink ribbon unfurls across the bottom of the page, stating, "Read the rest on ohjoysextoy.com"
