MAY DAY IS HERE!

Commemorating the end of spring and the beginning of summer, this pagan holiday celebrates sex and fertility and is represented by the Maypole. To help you get in the May Day mood, we’ve applied a 10% discount on select cock rings to help you join in the May Day fun.

Symbolizing the male phallus, the Maypole has inspired many a celebratory dance over the centuries. Traditionally decorated with ribbons, wreaths, and rings, the Maypole is symbolic of the male sex, and the rings that go around it are symbolic of the female sex. Beltane, the Irish version of May Da y, also celebrated on May 1, uses sex and fertility festivals and dances to not only ensure a bountiful harvest, but also to protect families from otherworldly spirits.

Always on the lookout for lesser-known holidays that elevate sexuality to the realm of the divine, Stockroom.com wants to help you adorn your personal Maypole in style. Choose from our own supernatural neoprene, chrome, aluminum, leather, and vibrating cock rings, on sale now through Friday, May 18.
