What I Write

Sextech Leader

In late 2018 I decided what the US needed more than anything was more Love. At the same time, what I needed was a way to fuse my marketing career with my gender activist work. I believed, and still do, that by growing alternative porn businesses, I could contribute to the cultural shifts on individual perspectives on gender, sex, and self love. And perhaps make the world a better place. In January 2019 I moved to Barcelona to research the booming porn industry there. Shortly following, I began working for MakeLoveNotPorn - a sextech platform formed from a viral TED Talk in 2009. Since then we’ve accomplished consistent, surprising growth in the face of shocking institutional barriers. Today I’m their Head of Sales.
