Oh Joy Sex Toy

Press

A great and hilarious resource – some of the best sex ed out there!
Dan Savage, Savage Love, The Savage Lovecast, It Gets Better

Erika Moen is fucking amazing and Oh Joy Sex Toy will change your life for the better.
Emily Nagoski, PhD, Come As You Are, Burnout

Promoting sex education broadly for joy and intimacy rather than a particular sexual orientation or activity, this collection makes valuable but possibly scary information much easier to think about and discuss with others.

Our parents had The Joy of Sex, we have the next generation of totally balls-out (and vulva-out!) candidness in Oh Joy Sex Toy!! Oh Joy Sex Toy is sui generis… there may not be a book in print simultaneously this honest, this educational, and THIS HILARIOUS. Even if you don’t masturbate, the pages of this book will probably change your mind. Free at last, free at last, god almighty we are free from whack-off shame at last!!! From page one you must ask yourself: did I just really read that? YES YOU DID. Liberating, liberating, LIBERATING!!!
Amanda Palmer, The Art of Asking

It is written and drawn with such gosh-darn sweet enthusiasm by Erika Moen (with the occasional guest-shot from husband Matthew, who provides a dude’s perspective) that even if your tastes are tamer than Moen’s, I think you’ll find it a perfectly wonderful read.

Erika Moen’s Oh Joy Sex Toy is a revolution in laughter and a hardcore exploration of the orgasm. It’s a refreshingly frank comic strip about vaginas, sex toys and human sexuality.
Rich Goldstein in The Daily Beast

They make sex ed so freakishly entertaining, I don’t even care I’m learning something.

Guest Expert & Interviews

The surprise is how compulsively readable Erika Moen’s wonderful tour of the wonderful world of wonderful toys is—she’s like a naughty Leonard Maltin set loose in an adults-only episode of ‘Jackass.’ Sex positive AND comics positive. My two favorites.
Matt Fraction on GoodReads

The information is so good and thorough and the reviews are charming and honest. It really is the best thing since the Hitachi Magic Wand!
