Did you hear the news? Andrew Christian now has sex toys! For the beginner to the expert, for the tame to the BDSM, to the solo user to the couple (or more), we have everything! Created with care, sass, and style, AC is getting into the billion-dollar toy market with new products that are bound to turn heads (and more).

With today’s offerings of battery-powered, USB-charged, and vibrating pieces, it’s easy to forget how sex toys have been around for centuries. Way back in 29,000 BC cavemen in Germany (no joke) were carving rocks into dick shapes…is that where the term “rock hard” came from? The Greeks in 500 BC were using everything in sight to create dildos – from stuffed leather to stale loaves of bread – they were horny! You can thank the Chinese in 1300 AD for expanding the sex toy realm from dildos to Ben Wahh Balls, cock rings, and double siders. It wasn’t until the 1400s when the typically horny Italians coined the word dildo from dilett o, which means pleasure. Fast forward to 2022, when Andrew Christian himself has curated his collection with rainbow dildos, cock cages, paddles, nipple clamps, and even ball shockers.

We chatted with Andrew in between sex toy tests to find out more about his new line of toys, how his Trophy Boys are loving them, and how you can incorporate sex toys into the bedroom.

What was the inspiration to add sex toys to the AC line?

I think it is important to normalize the use of sex toys. Everyone uses them so it is now time to talk about it. I wanted to help normalize their use the same way I did for sexy men's underwear. I also want to put them on AndrewChristian.com so people have a safe space to shop and don't have to feel embarrassed shopping for them at their local sex toy store or some sleazy online site.

What are the biggest misconceptions about sex toys?

I think some of the biggest misconceptions about sex toys is that they are for single or lonely people. Sex toys are great for increasing your sexual self-knowledge whether you are single or in a relationship. Let's face it, sex toys are also super FUN...they are called 'toys' for a reason.

Why are people, even the gays, shy about talking about sex toys?

I think the idea of talking and shopping for sex toys can be terrifying for most people especially those that live in small towns and don't want to be seen going into a sex toy shop. While we can't do much to change people's shyness we did want to make purchasing them easier and feel more friendly,

What was your creative process in designing this line of toys?

We try to bring to market items that are different and that will specifically appeal to the LBGTQ+ audience. For example, our glow-in-the-dark cock rings are very popular with our customer base. Also, we try to offer a toy for everyone and every different interest.

What sets your sex toys apart from others on the market?

Whenever possible we try to incorporate unique colors. Our rainbow-colored dildos are hugely popular and everyone seems to also love our glow-in-the-dark toys.

What tips do you have for someone using sex toys by themselves?

Sex toys are really tools to heighten one's sensation and for exploring different aspects of your sexuality. People have erogenous zones all over their body and many diverse fetishes and sex toys can really be great for someone who wants to explore by themselves.

What tips do you have for couples using sex toys?

Be open to exploring. Breaking your normal routine by introducing sex toys can renew your relationship and add different dimensions but it is important to talk about it in advance with your partner and not just whip a new toy out without some advanced discussion.

What advice do you have for someone wanting to bring sex toys into the bedroom, but are too shy to ask their partner?

Just do it! There is no need to be afraid; there is a sex toy for everyone. Once you start talking to your partner about sex toys they will probably have their own ideas for toys that they want but that they were previously afraid to talk about. The conversation is likely to lead to renewed excitement in the bedroom.

The toys run from pretty tame choices to some real hardcore bondage items. What are the basics to start with?

I think the three basics that are good for most people to start with are a dildo, cock ring, and the Lube Rocket. But don't be afraid to explore and experiment, that is what sex toys are for.

In your opinion, which one of the sex toys is the most unique?

I think our rainbow-colored dildos are so fun and unique. They are not only fun to use they also make great gifts.

A lot of people are traveling during Pride season…any tips on how to travel with your favorite sex toys?

Don't be embarrassed to travel with your favorite sex toys; the TSA has seen everything and I doubt any sex toy you pack would shock them.

Can you explain the allure and use of a cock cage?

Male chastity excites some subs because it denies them the ability to masturbate and get erections. Some subs self-cage, but must prefer to have a keyholder that decides when the cage can come off. Some say orgasm denial increases your sex drive and most caged subs also really love the reward and punishment that the dom can inflict by taking the cage on or off.

What exactly is a clit creator?

Our Clit Creator is similar to a cock cage but it makes your penis virtually retract inside of your body which makes it almost invisible. The end of the device has a vertical slit that mimics the shape of a vagina. Guys that are into forced feminization and small penis humiliation love this device.

Will you be adding more toys to the line?

Yes....we have around 30 more toys that we are launching this year.

Which one is your personal favorite?

I love the rainbow dildos because I think they are super fun and I love to give them as fun gifts to my friends.

Did your Trophy Boys personally test these? Wink, wink.

Yes! The Trophy Boys are not shy about their love of the new toy line. Each model seems to have his own favorites. They love making our sex toy review videos.
