Harry Styles has satiated fans worldwide with the launch of his sex toy range. The former One Direction member first launched his brand, Pleasing, in 2021 and launched originally with a line of nail polishes. Since then, products like crewneck sweaters, knitted bags, and more have been added to the online store.

But now, the brand is living up to its name, diving headfirst into the world of sexual wellness, and who better to be at the helm than ‘boyband sex god’ Harry Styles.

According to The Mirror US, the Pleasing shopping experience oozes allure. An employee behind a small velvet curtain slides out a silver platter for you to put your notecard on. Then you pay, and a brown paper bag labelled “Pleasing” slides out from behind the curtain containing your items. It comes after Harry was seen sharing passionate kiss with mystery woman at Glastonbury.

Free condoms are served in martini glasses with the words “I’m for Planned Parenthood” written on them while fans are in line. The drop’s slogan, “Please Yourself Like You Mean It,” also applies to tackers.

Fans are slapping it up as two new products both in the US and the UK sold “within minutes.” After all, the name “Directors” was given to one of the world’s most powerful fan bases.

The frenzied Directions-turned-Styles-mega-fans purchasing Pleasing’s sex toys are enjoying the X-rated offering from Styles, even though One Direction disbanded in 2016 and Harry has since established himself as a solo artist and wellness guru.

“I feel like we’ve been so deprived from Harry, you know, anything and everything,” one fan told The Mirror US. “We’ll take what we can. I really hope he releases new music soon.” She also noted that her first ever concert was at 18 years old when she saw Harry Styles perform at Madison Square Garden. “I came in as a girl, I went out as a woman,” she said.

Another person remarked, “I’m kind of here for it when I learn that there is this kind of drop and selling sex toys.” I’m eager to receive anything from him, so I’ll accept it.

Sex therapists are intrigued by the unlikely union between celebrity and sexual wellness and support Styles for boosting discussions around self-pity because of Harry Styles’ audience, which is primarily Gen Z and Zillennials.

According to Samantha Marshall, Head of Brand at Smile Makers Collection, “we frequently hear reports about how little sex Gen Z is having, but those conversations tend to ignore the rise of self-pity.”

The reaction to this announcement confirms that younger people are eager to explore their own bodies, experience their pleasure, and gain self-assurance in doing so. A generation that is changing the rules around intimacy has a huge chance to gain access to pleasure education, Marshall continued.

Styles’ crush-worthy status has also helped to dispel the ban on using sex toys, and his non-confrontational approach to sexuality is just the cherry on top. It “supports the idealization that enjoyment should be unremarkable.” Because I firmly believe that children should enjoy both the entertainment and the mundane. Having a vibrator in your home? It shouldn’t be a big deal, really.
