There are a large number of sex shops that cater exclusively to homosexual men.Īlso, sex shops that want to appeal to all customers try to attract gay men by putting a circle around a collection of sex toys and telling customers that the sex toys are great if they identify as gay. Of course, it does not take me long to realize that stores do not describe the toys, customers do. Does this mean that the sex toys are gay? What is it about a sex toy that makes it ‘homosexual’ in the first place? Occasionally, while browsing sex shop websites, I come across a category called “gay sex toys”.
