Our favorite sex toy deals for National Masturbation Month

It’s national masturbation Month! I know it sounds odd, but basically it’s a month for personal reflection on the highly stigmatized but almost universal act of self-love. It all started when President Bill Clinton fired Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders in 1994 for suggesting that masturbation should be part of sex education. The retailer Good vibes marked May 7 as National Masturbation Day in her honor, but it has since grown into a month-long international spectacle.

Everyone should feel safe and comfortable spending time on self-love and talking about it openly. Remove the stigma, talk about it and celebrate it. It’s 2021! We are living in a global pandemic. Who has time for Victorian social mores? It also means that May is the time of year to buy toys at a great price. There’s a lot to sort through, but we’ve done our best to highlight the best sex toy deals from some of our favorite brands.

MysteryVibe Offers

MysteryVibe only makes a handful of sex toys, but in our experience they are well made. Its Crescendo has been one of the pillars of our Best guide to sex toys for over a year now and for good reason. These offers are valid until May 27.

• MysteryVibe Crescendo for $ 149 ($ 50 off): The Crescendo is one of my favorites. It is a versatile toy for all kinds of games, all kinds of genitals and all kinds of body parts. It has six internal motors, and that doesn’t just mean it’s powerful. This toy can offer full length handcrafted vibration patterns. You can customize them or select them from the predefined templates.

• MysteryVibe Poco for $ 99 ($ ​​30 off): The Poco is a small toy, like a travel version of the Crescendo. It’s flexible, you can easily bend it into a position that perfectly fits your body, and it has two separate motors for powerful vibrations, however you bend it. It is a good choice for vulva and penis.
