Why Every Body Benefits from Accessible Adult Toys w/ Step Tranovich

There have been a lot of advancements in the adult toy industry over the last ten years, so why are toys for men and AMAB folks still stuck in the dark ages?

In this episode of Do As We Say, Not As They Did, Dr. Liz Powell and Harris O’Malley are joined by Step (they/them), founder of the gender-explosive adult toy company, Cute Little Fkers, to talk about affirming adult toys for queer folks, why toys for AMAB folks have so much room to grow, and how creating more accessible toys is a good thing for everyone.

You don’t want to miss:

• How Cute Little Fkers changed Kickstarter (for the better)!

• How toxic masculinity makes boring adult toys

• A fun story on how their toys can be hidden in plain sight

• How and where to consensually spank Step 😉

It doesn’t matter what’s in your pants, what size or shape of body you have, or how able-bodied you are; you deserve toys that feel good and affirm your experience and identity! If you’re ready to kick boring toys, shame, and stigma to the curb, you’ll love this episode.

Who is Step?

Step (they/them) founded Cute Little Fkers in 2019 to create cute, accessible adult toys for trans and queer folks. Today, they have a range of toys that are inclusive, body-friendly, and downright adorable to help folks of all genders, sexualities, and identities explore pleasure without shame, dysphoria, or rigid gender expectations.
