LOS ANGELES—Columnist, author and self-proclaimed “slut” Zachary Zane has partnered with sex toy company Fun Factory to release the limited-edition Bi Amor dildo, which features the colors of the bisexual flag. The toy’s launch coincides with the launch of Zane's new book.
Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto is a breakdown of how sexual shame negatively impacts lives, and how people can unlearn harmful and entrenched societal messages. To celebrate both the launch of the book and bisexuality itself, Zane collaborated with Fun Factory to put a new spin on its popular Amor dildo. Bi Amor is being sold alongside Zane’s memoir, in pink, purple and blue colors inspired by the bisexual flag.
In Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto, Zane bares all through a series of essays that explore his coming of age, coming out as a bisexual, being a polyamorous kinkster, and his move toward embracing and celebrating sex unencumbered by shame.
"While my book is for everyone, regardless of gender and sexual orientation, it also is a love letter to the bisexual community," Zane said. "I’m elated to share my story of how I learned to embrace being the polyamorous, bisexual kinkster I am today. And I hope Boyslut inspires people everywhere to embrace whatever their relationship is with sex, no matter how it may look.
“I’m thrilled that Fun Factory is supporting the book with this collaboration. I’ve worked with Fun Factory for a long time, so there’s no other company more fitting than them to celebrate the launch of this new book with. They have supported me in every possible way. Their Bi Amor dildo is a perfect companion for Boyslut!
"I’d also like to thank Abrams Image for taking a chance on me and publishing this damn book!" Zane concluded. "Both brands have made this launch incredible, making a little anxious, bi boy’s dream come true."
Fun Factory’s limited-edition Bi Amor dildo, like all Fun Factory dildos, is body-safe, hand-poured and ethically manufactured.
Nora Langknecht, marketing manager at Fun Factory, said, “We are honored to be assisting the launch of Boyslut! I love working with Zach and we have worked together for many years, so this partnership is exciting for me and the whole Fun Factory team. The book will most certainly give not just queer folx, but also anyone else, a feeling of relief and freedom. We hope that this book will change lives, and can’t wait to hear the response.”
Zane's book has already received positive reviews from industry leaders:
“Zachary Zane is a fabulous queer writer and thinker who’s doing the Lord’s work by promoting bi-visibility, teaching the children about polyamory, and helping the LGBTQ+ community—and really, all people—learn how to become their best authentic selves," said Billy Porter, actor, singer and author.
“Zachary Zane is one of the best sex writers working today. He has a unique ability to balance humor with a deep appreciation for the vulnerability and humanity of his subjects. And reading about Zane’s own sexual adventures is like getting invited to Sunday brunch by your wittiest, sluttiest, funniest friend and getting to listen to him recount his crazy weekend," praised Dan Savage, sex columnist and New York Times bestselling author.
