Description

In the 1970s a group of pioneering feminist entrepreneurs launched a movement that in the long run changed the way in which sex used to be talked about, had, and enjoyed. Boldly reimagining who sex retail outlets were for and the types of spaces they might be, these entrepreneurs opened sex-toy shops like Eve’s Garden, Good Vibrations, and Babeland not just as commercial enterprises, but to offer educational and community resources as well. In Vibrator Nation Lynn Comella tells the fascinating history of ways these shops raised sexual consciousness, redefined the adult industry, and changed women’s lives. Comella describes a world where sex-positive retailers double as social activists, where products are framed as tools of liberation, and where consumers are willing to pay for the promise of higher living—one conversation, vibrator, and orgasm at a time.
