My name is Tahlia Sade—yes, that Tahlia, the one people whisper about when they say, “She sells toys for a living.” I call myself a consultant, but really, I’m an educator of pleasure. My job? To show people how to explore their bodies and stop apologizing for their desires. Most nights are routine: I unpack the toys, pass around the samples, demonstrate the functions, smile at the nervous giggles, and cash out at the end of the party. But that night was different. One of the guests lingered after everyone else had gone home. She held the sleek black vibrator in her hand, biting her lip like she had a secret. “Does it really feel as good as you say?” she asked. I should’ve kept it professional. I should’ve sent her home with nothing more than a catalog and a shopping bag. But the way her voice dropped on the word feel… it made me want to prove it. The confession? That night, I broke my own rule: never test the toys with a client.
