JT's Stockroom is the oldest sex toy company on the Internet. Its history as an online retailer predates the World Wide Web.
The company was started in 1988 as "JT Toys" by Joel Tucker, a student at Occidental College. Using his student email account, he distributed an all-text catalog that was distributed via email, FTP, gopher sites, and Bulletin Board Systems.
The company became known to the Internet community via Usenet newsgroup discussions in 1990. The company offered a range of sexual paraphernalia, including BDSM supplies and bondage gear. Beginning in 1995, two years after the invention of the World Wide Web, the company established a website. In 2001, JT's Stockroom acquired a publishing company, Daedalus Publishing. Stockroom.com's website and catalogs have featured some noteworthy models and photographers, including Aria Giovanni, Kyla Cole, Masuimi Max, and Steve Diet Goedde.
