Kara Szamborski recommends Oh Joy Sex Toy
There’s nothing coy about Oh Joy Sex Toy. Artist/co-author Erika Moen (erikamoen) uses the comic medium to have one of the most open and engaging discussions of sexual topics on the Internet. Through her humor and honesty, the cartoonist and her husband Matthew have collaborated to create the ultimate sex re-education book. (Adult readers, please note that this excellent tome is NSFW).
Oh Joy Sex Toy celebrates sexual interests in an informative, inclusive manner—the topics covered range from sex toy reviews to long distance relationships, and the authors use medical terminology and gender-neutral pronouns to keep things professional and free of bias. Guest strips round out this collection by introducing even more tastes and perspectives.
The sex-positive attitude of Oh Joy Sex Toy is most clearly reflected in its level of representation. By including characters of all sizes, colors, orientations, and identities, the artist has created a space where everyone can find a character they identify with represented as a sexual being. These characters show that fun, safe sex is for everyone, not just for the groups typically represented in mainstream media.
If you’re looking for a book that is both entertaining and educational in its approach to sexual topics, look no further than Oh Joy Sex Toy!
