LEEUWARDEN Are there sex shops for people who are trans or queer? There are in Leeuwarden. On Tuesday, Moos Oskar (29) will open his own shop on the Snekertrekweg. A tiny office space without daylight, hidden in the former PTT building that is now called the Stations kwartier. This is where Moos Oskar from Leeuwarden begins his adventure called Wild Ones. Moos grew up in Deventer, but moved to Leeuwarden for the Academy for Pop Culture. I have my friends here and I had a child who is now 6. That connects me to the city." Moos never saw himself as a woman, but after his pregnancy he knew for sure. It felt very alienating." 2.5 years ago he really went into transition" and half a year later he chose his current name. The seed for his own business was planted two years ago during a visit to an inclusive sex shop in Berlin. I thought: how great would it be if people in Leeuwarden could experience that too." The body of someone who is going through a transition can work slightly differently than other bodies. It changes to such an extent that it is very nice if you can talk about it with someone." Moos himself uses testosterone, which leads to beard growth and a deep voice, but also changes in the genital region. You get undere sensations, and air pressure toys no longer fit properly." Along the way, he discovered the language to deal with body parts you're not a fan of." He prefers to avoid words like cunt or dick. For himself, he uses the English term bottom growth. For people with gender dysphoria, the physical characteristics do not match their gender identity. Being reminded of this all the time can then be a mental burden. So the webshop does not have a section for 'him' and 'for her', like most sex shops. Moos also only sells sex toys with gender-neutral packaging. I want to eliminate that moment of confrontation." The white Ikea cabinet that serves as a display case contains, among other things, air pressure vibrators with a larger mouthpiece. Or what about a rod with vibrating rabbit ears that you can clamp between something. Read more in comments

Gisteren en vandaag ben ik hard aan het werk geweest om een groot deel van de meubels klaar te hebben voor de grote toy-levering! (Gelukkig kreeg ik vanochtend hulp 💕) Tussen alle bedrijven door ben ik er even voor gaan zitten om een beeld te schetsen van wat ik belangrijk vind m.b.t. wat voor producten jullie straks bij Wild Ones gaan vinden. 💜 ENG Yesterday and today I’ve been working hard to get most of the furniture ready for the big toy delivery! (Luckily I had some help this morning 💕) In between everything, I took a moment to sit down and talk about what I find important when it comes to the kind of products you’ll find at Wild Ones. 💜 #queerintimacy #gendereuphoria #transinclusive #queer #community #spositivity #sxeducation

Wild Ones is about to exist! Na jaren van tackelen van mijn eigen s*ks negatieve gedachten, het ontdekken van s*ks positieve plekken in steden als Amsterdam en Berlijn, leren over s*ksualiteit en het afbreken van binaire overtuigingen, spelen met nieuwe woorden, toys en mensen, en het schrijven van een uitgebreid businessplan… is het bijna zover! Leeuwarden krijgt z’n eigen s*ks positieve plek. Ik heb echt mega veel zin om de deuren voor iedereen te openen. (Al zijn die deuren voorlopig nog digitaal, de zoektocht naar een fysieke plek is nog in volle gang 👀) ____ ENG After years of battling my own s*x negative thoughts, exploring s*x positive spaces in cities like Amsterdam and Berlin, learning about sexuality and breaking down binary beliefs, playing around with new words, toys and people and working on writing a detailed businessplan, it is finally time! Leeuwarden is going to have their own s*x positive space. I can't wait to open my doors for everyone. (Altho the doors are going to be online for the time being, still on a location hunt 👀) ____ Mark your calendars. June 1st. 💘
