Time for sex toy market research!

[The following is a copy of the post that I've put on Mastodon and Zuckerber's data mine.]

ATTN: trans women who've had GCS (SRS, etc.), and any other people who have a clitoris whose sensitivity is less than typical. Sex therapists might want to take a look as well, since they may have such people as clients.

Have I got a sex toy for you! Well, I think I do. I have four copies of my latest design, pictured here, and I'd like to give them out on a first-come first-served basis to anyone who'd like to try it, tell me if how well it works for them, and suggest improvements.

(Cisgender women are welcome to try it, but if your clitoris is typically sensitive, this toy is probably not for you. Also, I can have more toys made, but they'll take a few weeks to arrive.)

What do you get out of it, besides hopefully an orgasm or two? The production version of this sex toy when it's available. I figure you'll have earned it.

How does it work?

1. Lube up the narrow end and the nearest flat area.
2. The narrow end goes into the vagina.
3. The flat part goes up against the clit.
4. Party!

Why no motor? Because any motor that could deliver the frequency and amplitude that I personally need would raise safety concerns. And that's to say nothing of the expense and complexity of manufacture, and the likely inconvenience of plugging a bulky motor into a wall.

What's it made of? All prototypes of this particular design are made of 3-D printed nylon 12 with vapor smoothing. I intend to switch to polyurethane for volume manufacturing since that's what dilators are made of. Both materials are used in medical devices, but for maximum safety, I recommend a condom.

How to clean it? Soap and water. These aren't dishwasher-safe.

So, please drop me a line however you see fit, and I'll get you your toy. If you're in Seattle, I can do local delivery. Enjoy!

Patent pending.

Excelsior or bust!

In the last, oh, thirty hours:

I've put out calls for people to try Zelda III, my sex toy, on Mastodon, FB, and this here journal. My biggest hope? That people love it, thereby making me partially responsible for oodles of orgasms. My biggest fear? That no one even asks for a copy of my toy. I haven't taken it to Fetlife yet or bugged the sex therapists I know, though, so I haven't exhausted my options yet.

I've taken the insurance money for my car and used it to pay off my credit card, much of whose balance was the Devil Girl corset. That's the most on-brand financial transaction I've ever done.

I've registered the sale of the car with the state of Washington. I still need to sign the title and mail it with the key fobs. As it happens, I have other business at the post office anyway.
