PHILADELPHIA, PA – The name “TLA Sexology Institute” sounds very impressive, but this institute might just be more about sex and less about ology if their first foray into “unscientific” research is any indication.The TLA Sexology Institute was recently launched by TLA Entertainment, the parent company of gay-adult retailer TLAgay.com. According to the company itself, the Institute operates as a means for offering advice and guidance on consumer products for the adult gay market. The group analyses the products that are available to consumers, and offers its recommendations on which constitute best buys.

First up for this group of “oversexed chronic masturbators” was the category of lubes.

“It is often said that lubes and gay men go hand in hand (so to speak), yet over time guys usually settle on a certain product and company and leave it at that,” quipped Randy Siempre, Novelties Marketing Manager for TLAgay.com. “But in an on-going drive to find the best in all kinds of sex toys, we embarked on an admittedly un-scientific survey to uncover what are the best lubes on the market today.”

So how about those “unscientific” results? Winner in the “Overall Rating & Durability” category was Pjur Classic Bodyglide. For “Value For The Money & Viscosity,” the clear winner was Stroke 29 Rocket Fuel. “Quality” went to Boy Butter. But the Institute failed to make a decisive decision when it came time to award best “Packaging,” opting instead to award a tie to Boy Butter and Swiss Navy Water Based.

With lubes conquered, the group is now turning its attention to more serious devices.

“The Sexology Institute plans many more evaluations of adult novelties, many of which are already underway,” the Institute promised. “Upcoming evaluations include Masturbators/Strokers, Penis Pumps and Anal Toys, just to name a few.

Mechanical strokers? Keep that Boy Butter close by!
