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

Behind the Scenes, how I made my recent @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social comic about attending a scientific masturbation conference! Just for my Comics Tier patrons (also going up on the OJST Patreon probably later today. Mama's tired.) www.patreon.com/posts/143960...
Three iterations of the first page of Erika Moen's comic for Oh Joy Sex Toy, A Magic Wand Weekend (https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-magic-wand-weekend-erika-moen/) First page is very rough sketches and photo reference, second page is the inked art, third page is the final colored art with the first panel completely redrawn from the previous iteration.

I was maybe already a little bit gay as a child.
Harley Quinn from Batman: The Animated Series. A woman dressed in a skintight harlequin leotard, red and black with a diamond motif. She wears a jester hat. A "How to draw Poison Ivy" page, showing the various stages. This is the Batman: The Animated Series first version of Poison Ivy, a woman in a skin-tight green swimsuit with leggings, boots, and long gloves. She has red hair. Lady Lovely Locks and Duchess Ravenwaves illustrations from the 1980s. They are two princess-y girls with ridiculously voluminous hair that sports little fantasy squirrel-sized creatures clinging to it. Everything is very pink and flowery. Princess Sally Acorn, an anthro squirrel girl, specifically the one from Sonic the Hedgehog the Archie comic series. She has a giant poof of brown bangs and wears only a tiny blue vest and blue boots.

Books with Pictures (@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social) in Portland, Oregon is a GREAT comic shop, and its owner in @omgkatiep.bsky.social is one of the best. The shop is going through a hard time right now, and if you want to help BwP out, they opened a GoFundMe to help do just that.

Dude, why is it so hard to find a good stroker for T-dick??? Well, the MorMe Prosthetics Original Stroker sure strikes @darkchibishadow.bsky.social and they're here for a thought-stroking review.
www.ohjoysextoy.com/morme-origin...
MorMe Original Stroker by DarkChibiShadow, published November 18, 2025 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/morme-original-stroker-darkchibishadow The art is drawn in a very cartoony, soft style with a color palette of light pinks, blues, and teals. The begins with an overhead shot of two people standing in a living room, far below. "AAGH!" Wails a trans guy. The Masturbateer has neck length, light colored hair with bangs covering one side of his face. He's got a small beard and small wrinkles under his eyes. He's wearing a light hoodie with colored sleeves. "Dude, why is it so hard to find a stroker I like?!" "Uhg, I know." DCS reassures him. They have short, cropped brown hair with a small cowlick on the back of their head. They're wearing a fuzzy overcoat with a checkered pattern and a dark shirt and pants. They wear square glasses and have a straight nose. "I'm still on the hung for that one perfect toy..." The camera drops down to be on face heigh with the two people, as the Masturbateer bemoans, "Just having something bigger in my hand while I jerk off would be awesome..." Perking up, DCS offers, "Oh, I might actually know of something!" They pull out a sculpted tube, just a bit longer than the width of their palm. A detailed larger-than-life view of the object floats next to them as they explain it. The bottom end of it sports a puffy ring that leads into the hollowed interior of the soft tube. The rest of it is sculpted to resemble a penis with foreskin pulled up over most of the head. "I recently tried the MorMe Original Stroker 2.0 after seeing it around some toy review forums! Wanna hear my thoughts?" DCS asks. Holding the Stroker and gently tugging on the foreskin, the Masturbateer enthuses, "Sure-- wait, whoa! This toy has a foreskin? "Yeah, that's what originally drew me to it." Replies DCS. The foreskin allows you to stroke the toy like you're jerking yourself off." A display panel shows the stroker floating in air and how the external "skin" slides back and forth to hide or reveal the head of the penis. A flag partially covers the bottom of the page, reading "Read the rest on Oh Joy Sex Toy .com"

2/2 "even with input from others, you'll have to decide which path is right for you on your own." #TransAwarenessWeek
www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-two-spirit...
TWO-SPIRIT (exasperated): the braid! do i cut it? or keep it? which is it!? WASKWANE (eating an apple): well... i don't think there's a right or wrong answer, so i can't say! even with input from others, you'll have to decide which path is right for you on your ow. TWO-SPIRIT (distressed): aaaa IMAGE: flowers and vines grow around and through the two characters as they walk WASKWANE: but that doesn't mean you'll be alone, little two-spirit. whatever decision you choose to make, you can bet that as sure as apples grow on trees... the anishinaabe and lgbtq+ community will be there to support you in that decision, always TWO-SPIRIT: aho!

Morgan Kagesheongai considers the complex intersection of hair, gender, and culture as a Two-Spirit Ojibwe in this beautiful comic from our archive. #TransAwarenessWeek 1/2
www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-two-spirit...
A Two-Spirit Question by Morgan Kagesheongai, published June 20, 2023 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/a-two-spirit-question-morgan-kagesheongai IMAGE: Indigenous art-inspired illustrations of two figures. Two-Spirit has a braid down to their shoulders while Waskwane has a short, curly hair cut. TWO-SPIRIT (crying on the floor): boo hoo hoo WASKWANE: oh? what's wrong, little two-spirit? TWO-SPIRIT: it's just awful waskwane. everyday, i feel like the world looks at my braids and sees me as a kwe WASKWANE: oh? but what's wrong with that? TWO-SPIRIT: i want to be seen as a niin! i'm a two-sprirt after all! WASKWANE: well, you could always cut your braid! TWO-SPIRIT (offended): uh, no waskwane, i cannot just "cut my braid". my braid is an extremely important part of my spiritual identity as an ojibwe. it represents my commitment to my culture and its teachings. but lots of ojibwe have short hair! WASKWANE (sharing a growing flower between the two of them): would you call them less spiritually committed? TWO-SPIRIT (now growing a leafy vine by themself): of course not! everyone's journey with spiritualism and culture is different. it's just that i feel most connected to my own journey when i have my braid and i don't want to lose that WASKWANE:even though it's causing you to feel at odds with your gender identity? TWO-SPIRIT (a single leaf grows from their finger): yes WASKWANE: goodness little two-spirit, that is a lot! those are two very important aspects of your identity in conflict with one another. i don't know if there's anyone who can say which decision is the right one... TWO-SPIRIT: so then what do i do? WASKWANE: well, i have to ask the obvious: have you tried reaching out to an elder yet? [Waskwane's stomach grumbles "hungryyy"] TWO-SPIRIT: well... normally i would, but i've had both good and bad experiences broaching this topic with them. some elders really understand, and soe don't. i do want to sit down with one eventually, but i don't think i' ready yet. WASKWANE: what about a two-spirit elder? wouldn't they be most equipped to help put things into perspective for you? TWO-SPIRIT: ah! gosh you're totally right! and i do know someone, but... they left to help indigenous youth in the city, and are hard to ake contact with. WASKWANE (Stomach continues to grumble "hungryyy"): but not impossible! TWO-SPIRIT: well, no, not impossible WASKWANE (finding an apple tree ad proceeding to pick the fruit): they'd probably really like it if you called. but you know, even if some elders don't understand your questions about gender identity... having them ear can still help TWO-SPIRIT: oh? IMAGE: Waskwane climbs the apple tree, picking fruits and passing them to Two-Spirit WASKWANE: being with them while they navigate their own spiritual journey... can really help you to make sense of yours... without having to say anything. TWO-SPIRIT: i think i get it... WASKWANE: and on the flip side... when you need to affirm your journey with gender... the lgbt+ community is a great resource! They can help you connect with helpful resources and other two-spirits TWO SPIRIT: ...wait so...

@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"

New comic up, bitches!

Patrons are seeing it now, civilians can see it next week 😘
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. Text over cuts the comic panel, stating, "Read the rest on patreon.com/ErikaMoen"
