PHOTOS: Celebrating Kinky Fun with Rough Trade and Oxballs

Silver Lake’s favorite kinky sex toy shop, Rough Trade, has plenty of reasons to celebrate: they’re coming up on their 14th year of peddling smut and also launching a partnership with local toy company Oxballs. All links throughout NSFW, of course.

We stopped by their birthday party (theme: Open Wide Expansion) to snap a few shots of hotties and check out the good. Feast your eyes below, if you’re not at work right now. We’ve scrubbed all the full nudity (an unfortunate requirement) but there’s still plenty of groin and side-butt to be had.

Troy and Jack were awestruck by the dildos. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see why.

Isaac, David, Joe Hollywood, and Kyle chill on the patio. You might recognize Joe from the show Bad Sex on Logo, where he plays a crazy bitch. Despite having had laser hair removal, he reports that the Rough Trade bears make him feel perfectly at home.

Ben, Mario, and Rigo love the selection of harnesses.

Here’s James, whom you might’ve seen in Gabriel Gastelum‘s glorious photos recently, with Kyle and two Ryans. They’re regulars at Rough Trade, where everybody knows their names. “It’s like Cheers with dildos,” said one of the Ryans.

Alan pals around with Dirk (note the sexy puppy tag) and Ray, who likes anything that comes in red.

Brian’s here to check out some of the elaborate machines, Gustavo’s here for the rubber, and Henry is here to say woof. Can you guess which is which?

If you’re at a party, sooner or later you’re bound to bump into Rob Reyes. And here’s Gabriel Green, aka Mr. Leather 2014.

 

fist

Here’s Oxballs’ creator, Ox, with a handy fist on a stick. A few years ago, he was working in high-end men’s apparel with big-name clients. Then he ditched that world to do “something more part of my life.” He’d made a bit of a name for himself by penning porn for Bound and Gagged, so he moved to L.A. and started a dildo factory in his new home. Five years later, he’s running an empire and making a lot of people very very happy.

Adrian runs the show at Rough Trade, along with his partner Greg. They make a lot of the merchandise themselves by hand, and are very accommodating about custom-orders for unique body types. <3

 

merlyn and cock sling

Merlyn shows off a gleaming cocksling that would not be out of place in the Emerald City. Well, maybe a little out of place.

Here is the photo you will be masturbating to for the next few weeks.

 

crotch

We’re loving the details on this piece, which include a zipper around back. The crotch says “take me,” while the lungs say “ghhhrrrrrhhhhhackkkkk.”

Terance is ready when you are.
