How Feminist Sex-Toy Stores Changed the Business of Pleasure
Check out this book for the fascinating story of the (r)evolution in sex toy shops-- the Tool Shed is featured in the book, and we're pretty excited about it!
Vibrator Nation is the first book to tell the story of feminist sex-toy stores and the women who pioneered them. Drawing on more than eighty interviews with retailers and industry insiders, including a stint working as a vibrator clerk, Lynn Comella takes a deep dive into the making of the consumer market for sex toys, tracing its emergence from the early 1970s to today. She brings readers onto the sex shop floor and into a world where sex-positive retailers double as social activists, commodities are framed as tools of liberation, and consumers are willing to pay for the promise of better living through orgasms.
"Vibrator Nation is THE definitive tale of the women's sex store revolution." –Dr. Carol Queen
