Bonus Content

Yes, yes, don't you worry, of course there was bonus content. 

🔒 BONUS COMIC: Behind The Scenes with the Bullet Vibe by Erika Moen 🔒 Patrons Only

In 2003, Erika Moen made a comic for a sex anthology about her first vibrator and, consequently, her first orgasm. And then, ten years later, in 2013, Matt and she launched Oh Joy Sex Toy and she made a brand new comic about that same experience- but this time as a toy review for the site! See the difference a decade makes in these two comics exploring the same subject.

Canadians! Help!

Alright, alright, this isn't so much bonus content as it was a call for Canadian help. But aren't Canadians their own kind of a gift to the world? So here, we're including it in our round-up as a little maple syrup bonus.

🔒 Dan Savage Lovecast 🔒 Patrons Only

Dan Savage had Erika Moen return to his podcast to dish on dual density dildos and other things you can put in your butt! The full episode went out just to his paid subscribers, but we've excerpted just their 13 minute segment for you, our dear patrons, because, baby? We'd do anything for you. 

----------------------------------

In the further adventures of "Not Actually Bonus Content, But We're Including It Anyway..."

Erika Moen will be speaking with Emily Nagoski, PhD, about her brilliant new book, Come Together, this Wednesday, February 7 at 7 pm, at Powell's Books, 1005 W Burnside St., Portland, OR! You know Dr. Nagoski from her NYT bestseller Come As You Are- which Erika also illustrated- and from her various comic cameos on our site! They'll be talking about sex in long-term relationships and you know you'll want to Come Together for this sex-science nerd-rich conversation.

Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for being here, your support quite literally enables Oh Joy Sex Toy to pay independent cartoonists for their original comics on the sex, sexuality, gender, and being a human- topics that are being censored, scrubbed, and banned on most of the major social media platforms these days. Because of you, Oh Joy Sex Toy provides a small oasis for sex-positive cartoonists and their comics. We couldn't do this without you.
