I'm still here. This summer has been rough on the soul, but an update to the site will be coming.

The End of Handmade Sex Toys on Etsy

I wrote an article about Etsy's ban on sex toys.

I’ve bought a lot of my toys through Etsy, including some of my favorites like Adventurer from Masterwork Toys and Cyerce Symbiote from Xenocat Artifacts. It’s been an easy way to browse and find new sex toys. For a number of years, it was a great, quality marketplace where you could reliably find indie silicone toys.

Over the past couple years, though, Etsy’s thrown their handmade products commitment to the wind. Now, after years of providing an online home for independent makers (and profiting from the platform fees), Etsy is shuttering all of that and leaving makers with only a month to scramble for a plan B.

Some sex toy shops exclusively hosted on Etsy will shut down. Some sex toy shops that are cross-hosted on Etsy will shut down; some have indicated that the vast majority of their sales come from Etsy and they’re not going to be able to make up the difference.

Is Etsy banning sex toys as an easy way to wipe dropshipped sex toys without employing enough staff to identify what’s handmade vs. what’s not? Are they trying to reduce risk across the board? Are they concerned about getting caught under any of these age verification laws? Are they facing pressure from payment processors and credit card companies?

I don’t have the answer, but whatever the cause, the problems extend beyond Etsy.

FYI, Etsy is prohibiting sales of sex toys starting in late July. I will be updating SFT in time, but for the moment, it would be prudent to support any adult shops you enjoy who have active Etsy stores as they (🤞 hopefully!) make their transition elsewhere on the internet. I see a few have started discount sales to clear out inventory and prepare for the drop in Etsy traffic already.

SafeFantasyToys.com has been updated, finally. Cleared out some dead links, added a few new ones, added Bluesky links now that it's public, consolidated all of the shops to a single page, and fixed the issue Amazon affiliate links had. The books are now under "Q" because it was otherwise empty. I'll probably lose the number attached to the shops page URL in time but for now it'll stay.

The internet is a magic place. <3

There's something fishy about this paddle...

It's a fish you hit people with. I have no troubt ee'll be salmon' it into someone's (b)ass in no time.  Cover everything but the handle in water-based lube for an extra realistic experience!

Made of medium-firm shore 18a silicone or soft 0050, this silicone fish paddle is as much fun to swing as it is to look at. or be hit with. Or watch someone be hit with in an elaborate market/fishing boat roleplay. Can be turned around to mount on your wall without the logo facing out. It's nearly a pound of silicone.

being an adult and trying to be "responsible with my money" is so hard like literally what corners am I supposed to be cutting on this budget. what am I supposed to stop spending money on. my anxiety meds? food for my cats? impulsive takeout orders? spotify premium? patreon artists who draw huge throbbing monster dicks? all of these are completely necessary to maintain my quality of life.

Get weird: I'm running a 15% off discount on shirts, posters, and bags at my store. I also sell stickers (see post before this), cards, and more.

Etsy Shoppers: Were you scammed into overpaying for an item you thought was handmade, only to have it arrive with an obvious "Made in" tag?

Not a shopper, but a seller who's had your wares resold, designs stolen, or otherwise been screwed over by dishonest resellers? This is for you too!
