Pride Month with Adult Toy Mega Store

To celebrate Pride Month 2025, our friends at Adult Toy Mega Store (ATMS) have launched their Pride Hub - a content section of their website exclusively focussed on toys, tips and advice for, and from, the rainbow community.

Not only that, but they've added an opt-in option to donate to Burnett Foundation Aotearoa at cart on their website. So, check out their articles, toys and gear - and if you make a purchase, you can also support us at the same time. PSST... you could even get something for free... keep reading to find out. 

Here's a selection of our favourite Pride Hub articles along with some further reading from us, too!

1. Trans Allyship In and (Out of) the Bedroom 

The trans community are, and always have been, an integral, special and sexy part of the fabric that make up our rainbow. In 2025 it's even more important than ever to be an ally that our trans friends and whānau can count on... or bounce on, be inside, (or just cuddle, too). 

In ATMS' article 'How to be a good ally to trans people', they go over some of the basics on, as they put it, "just being a decent person". From respecting pronouns to avoiding dead-naming and understanding your role as an ally. For most of us - this is common sense, and the bare minimum - but we can't just assume that our friends and family all know this stuff, too. Feel free to share this article with anyone who you think might need it. 

In our article 'Trans Allyship in the Bedroom', our author sums it up pretty well in the second line: "With everything going on at home and abroad, there’s never been a greater need to get behind your trans, nonbinary & irawhiti friends. But what about getting under us? What about getting on top?" In this article, one trans hottie discusses how consent, respect, safety and a little education can make for the hottest hookup.

Bonus: Check out ATMS' 'How to have sex with a trans guy' for a deep dive from a transmasc perspective. 

2. Tips, Tops, Bits, Bottoms and the Ins and Outs of Gay Sex

Hi, Gay! Or should we say, Baby Gay™? 

We know. The world of gay sex and hookup culture can be a lot. There's a lot of memes, there's all the different lingo to learn, and yeah, figuring out whether you're a top or a bottom isn't always straightforward. Here's where we can help you start your journey. 

In the ATMS article 'Tips & Tricks for First-Time Same Sex Intimacy' a bisexual woman talks about some of the things she's learned since having sex with a woman for the first time - and how to communicate, ask for consent, and explore the body when you're new to it all. 

Our 'Ins and Outs' content series goes through the key things you need to know about gay sex - from how anal and oral sex works, to hooking up with guys and using apps like Grindr, and how to enjoy gay porn. 

3. Having fun with toys

Sex toys are fun and they're for everyone! They came in all shapes, sizes, colours and there are a lot of options available - regardless of your gender, sex, sexuality or the parts of your body that you like to pleasure and play with.

The ATMS article 'Best sex toys to celebrate pride month with' delivers exactly what is promised. The Satisfyer Endless Joy which, aptly named, can stimulate nipples, clitoris, labia, perineum, testicles or the top of the penis. The Vac-u-lock Ultra Harness With Plug is a great place to start experimenting with strap-on play. And, of course, this list with wouldn't be complete without the 8 Inch Rainbow Dong that'll absolutely fill you up with pride.

During Locktober last year, we released our article 'Locked & Loaded: Chastity & Cages', where we interviewed a cock-cage enthusiast and explored the topic of chastity, how restraint can be sexy and how this specific kink fits into the BDSM community.
