ResumoToy Box is a unique twenty-year-old feminist sexual products business that stands out as an alternative in the sex industry, the business world, and within the realm of feminist organizing. Life at Toy Box is a daily struggle over meaning production, and this paper is an analysis of the major meaning-makers at Toy Box: feminism, merchandise, sexperts, and customers, and their roles in focusing, packaging, and constructing sexuality at Toy Box. This paper focuses on how a particular business produces and manages sexuality not only in the space the businesss provides, but also in bedrooms around the Western world. An important part of this project, then, is to consider Toy Box in light of its implications for the production of sexuality and the commodification of feminism in the millenium.
