Thanks, j82 -- you are so right, that Q Oil is a great additional formula for Queer sex spells.
Jezebel was known in the Bible for painting her face and wearing finery, and thus she is associated with anyone who is into makeup and glamour, and that includes straight, gay, bi, and trans folks.
Jezebel's association with prostitutes developed in the wake of Calvinist religious thought, when self-adornment became outlawed and only prostitutes openly wore makeup. In those days, a euphemism for identifying a woman as a sex worker was to call her a Jezebel. It was under this influence that formulas like Jezebel oil and the matching Jezebel candle were named.
In modern times, when women of all occupations have adopted face-painting and personal adornment as "normal," the word Jezebel has softened in its tone and gone back to something closer to its original meaning -- a strong, proud, edgy, non-conforming woman. Hence we now have the online magazine Jezebel, which is not for or about prostitution at all, but is actually a modern "women's magazine."
Our Jezebel products bear an image based upon the older thoughts, that she is a "painted hussy." As such, they are beloved of anyone of any gender or gender-preference who engages in displays of fashion, self-adornment, and glamour. In other words, gay bears would not gravitate to Jezebel, but gay female impersonators do.
