Yes, it’s an actual thing: May 7 is designated as International Masturbation Day. And May itself is known as Masturbation Month. It all goes back to President Bill Clinton, who canned then-surgeon general Joycelyn Elders in 1994 for saying that masturbation should be a part of sex education. Clearly, she was ahead of her time when it comes to intimacy. This year, a bunch of the best sex toy brands are celebrating the event by offering some major deals on their well made and thoughtfully designed offerings, and the good news is that they’re not just for masturbation. Vibrators and other sex toys can enhance pleasure for both partners, and they’re the perfect excuse to try out new things and simply play more — something we can all, uh, get behind.
