Gabereviews of a trans man... Who am I, in a paragraph? I’m a trans man with a flat chest and lots of testosterone in his veins but minimal “manly” habits (read: grunting, talking trash about women, chewing tobacco). I’m a lover of women, men, genderqueers, people without gender, people with any anatomy under the sun, bottoms, tops, switches, people with a whole lot of identity, nerds, and, of course, Barack Obama. I’m a recent college grad from a liberal liberal arts college. I’m about to move to the South and don’t yet know how much my life is about to change. I’m a psychology geek, a Star Trek fan, a mac user, a Tantus and Funfactory silicone snob and a thai food lover. I’m also a sex toy reviewer and a writer for this site. I’m constantly in awe of the insights others have in their reviews and am pushed by the comments I get on my own to think about the products in new ways. Please let me know if you need further clarification about anything after reading my reviews or writing, or if you have suggestions! |

Interesting...
Interesting? What is interesting, Butterkups?
Part of your article "Boys Will Be Boys" really offended me. Transmen don't necessarily "end up at Edenfantasys" because they want to buy packers or penetration tools. You should have said that transmen end up at this website because, like anyone else who ends up here, they want to buy sex toys for themselves, their partners, or for couple sex. Personally, I ended up here because I'm heavily into BDSM. Aside from that though, I really enjoy your reviews. They provide good insight to a lot of things and express the items in a way that they should be.
Hi Sir,
I'm really sorry I offended you. Of course you're right, and your point is one that is true of me as well (as you can tell from my reviews, I like toys generally, not just prosthetics) so I'm even more surprised, looking back, to have failed to make it explicit. When I wrote the article, I was trying to describe trans men's unique needs, and to express some trans men's relationship with the products here. In my concern to express that some trans men related to products as prosthetics, not as toys (a point that many cisgender readers probably wouldn't know otherwise), I totally forgot to make explicit that the same trans men and others made use of the other products on the site in similar ways to other users. Give me a few days and I'll get in an edit to the site and have that corrected.
It's no problem at all. And I understand what you mean exactly, because I know that sometimes being informative is hard to do when trying to explain such a topic and without leaving anything out. You're also right, most do not see their prosthetics as toys (but to each their own), and that point is also hard to make.

you Gabe. Your reviews and insight are wonderful!
Gabe's reviews are informational, educational, and absolutely smart! When it comes to toys, your unique perspective of a young FTM brings so many new things to the table. You continually have me seeing sex toys in a new light, and your penchant for quality toys is absolutely refreshing! One of the best reviewers that EF has to offer!
Aw, thanks folks! Yer making me blush.
