Adult Retailer Good Vibes Deems It International Strap-On Week

SAN FRANCISCO—Good Vibes, the adult retailer that created International Masturbation Month, is at it again, this time declaring June 17-June 23 International Strap-On Week. Strap-on sex can be enjoyed by people of all genders. Most recently the company has experienced a rise in the number of heterosexual couples who are interested in exploring sex where the man is on the receiving end of the strap-on. Male-bodied penetration can be an intimate and enjoyable experience especially if the prostate is stimulated safely, as highlighted in The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure by Charlie Glickman, Ph.D., and Aislinn Emirzian, and  Good Vibrations has lead the way in sexual education and promoting not only lesbian and transgender strap-on use, but also the act of "pegging," made famous by the Bend Over Boyfriend series starring Good Vibrations’ staff Sexologist, Dr. Carol Queen. The retail outlet is marking the week with online and in-store events. On Wednesday, June 19, a sex educator/sales associate will lead a free Humpday Happy Hour workshop on Strap-on Sex at Good Vibrations' Polk Street store. Store shoppers can enjoy 25 percent off a Pleasure Works Silicone strap-on dildo with the purchase of a harness. Online visitors can read up on strap-on topics such as "How to Choose a Harness," "How to Choose a Dildo," and "How to Have Strap-on Sex with a Male Partner." Strap-on Harness Comparison Charts help show the differences in a side-by-side view. Shoppers will enjoy a 20 percent discount on harnesses at GoodVibes.com through code: GETSTRAPPED.    Participate all week long with Good Vibrations' social networks on Twitter, Facebook, and more, with hashtag #strapweek.
