Eros Zine

Hands-down, the most entertaining (and mind-bogglingly thorough) porn DVD gift guide this year comes from Eros Zine editor Thomas Roche. Quoth Thomas: "The porn industry is like a giant Lovecraftian diety, with more tentacles than an otaku she-male's favorite dinner date. But 200 adult DVDs crossed my desk this year, from 'Anal Princess Diaries' to 'Ass Wide Open' to 'Butt Pirates of the Caribbean'. I can't say I'm an expert, but I'll help you find the tentacle that'll properly tickle that certain special someone."

JT's Stockroom

If I blindfolded a Fleshbot intern, stuck a snake bite kit somewhere on his or her person, crammed ostrich feather ticklers somewhere else, and did as much damage as I can with chrome mini-clothespins and Astroglide, what would I get? (Besides a lawsuit or applications for more interns, that is.) Lots of hot gifts under $10 from JT's Stockroom, that's what! These thoughtful pervy punk elves have compiled the most thoughtful price-tiered gift guide of all the online retailers; we're hoping our Secret Santa leaves us a few sets of these exclusive fetish postcards by Steve Diet Goedde at the office holiday party this year.

Village Voice

Leave it to über-sexpot/sex nerd Tristan Taormino to come up with the dreamiest holiday sex toy gift guides year after year: her 2005 edition features a decadent assortment of high-end items like custom-made bondage beds, haute couture sex toys, and exquisite sex furniture. Her inspiration? "I saw the [Neiman Marcus] Christmas Book, and all was put into perspective: I'll dedicate my list to pure fantasy, the most luxurious, outrageous, decadent sexy gifts." Works for us.

Nerve

Oh, Nerve. We want to love you, really ... but why must your gift guide tease us so? Sure, it's a feast for the eyes—full of stimulating writing, yummy photos, and a creative selection of gadgets and gift ideas that aren't strictly about sex—but why did you have to do it in Flash, thus making it impossible to bookmark a particular item for closer inspection later on? Still worth a look, though, even if it hurts so good.

Babeland

Sex toy kits are always a good bet for gift giving, especially if you want to save a few bucks and concentrate on a particular erotic adventure one erogenous zone at a time. Lots of sex toy retailers have holiday kits this time of year, but one look at the kits featured at Babeland and I was hooked. I'm so ready to play "Hot Tub Hanukkah", labia Menorah in hand.

SFist/Tiny Nibbles

Want to control your holiday spending on all these sexy toys and DVDs? Get yourself some Anti-Masturbation Chewing Gum and dispense liberally (or conservatively, if that's your kink). At least that's the advice I'm giving over at SFist, where I put together a very affordable (= free stuff!) if somewhat San Francisco-centric gift guide, supplemented by a holiday wish/gift list on my own site. (Yes, I'd love a new deluxe ball gag, since you asked.) Hopefully you'll excuse the self-promotion just this once; I wouldn't have had to do it if you were able to keep your hands out of your pants. But luckily for both of us, you can't.
