Their sites are also more apt to offer educational resources-including virtual workshops and/or seminars-about toys, sexuality, and safe-sex practices. Sex toy shops led by feminist educators and innovators within the LGBTQ+ community are an excellent alternative because the products they sell are often created to cater to the needs of queer shoppers. These retailers (Amazon in particular) also don't offer workshops or other virtual resources for learning about a product's benefits or how to use it, which can make the shopping experience similarly disappointing. Major retailers like Amazon or Adam & Eve, while massive, typically market with cisgendered and heteronormative folks in mind, which can make finding gender-inclusive products stressful. Some adult retailers are better to buy from than others, however. Whether you're out and proud or still exploring your sexuality, inclusive sex toys made for all bodies can be an important way to discover new pathways to pleasure and fulfillment, both with others as well as with yourself. Pride Month might be over, but being a member of the LGBTQ+ community doesn't end on July 1.
