LONDON — Exo-friendly sex toy brand Love Not War is celebrating its win as Best New Sustainable Brand for Sex Toys from Marie Claire U.K.’s Sustainability Awards.

“Marie Claire U.K.’s annual Sustainability Awards aims to celebrate brands, organizations and products that are genuinely implementing change and building a better tomorrow,” a rep explained. “Judge Hannah Cox picked this winner because of the ‘innovative way they’re bringing sustainability to a new market.'”

The honor is the brand’s fourth such accolade this year, including the Green Product Award and Red Dot Award.

“No one wants a secondhand sex toy, and we all know it is notoriously difficult to repair a damaged sex toy,” said co-founder and CEO Will Ranscombe. “Sex toys are becoming ever more mainstream and the sexual wellness industry is booming so it is of the utmost importance to find solutions to help make our industry greener.

“We are incredibly proud of the entire Love Not War range and everything we have been able to achieve in such a short space of time,” he continued.

“We made it our mission to become the most sustainable adult toy brand on the market and encourage others in the industry to follow suit,” Ranscombe said. “This award is not only a massive achievement for us professionally but it also acts as a great testament to our efforts in the field of sustainability. It means people see the true value in finding eco-friendly and sustainable sex toy options. People are both excited and intrigued by the prospect of a sex toy that is not only able to offer them pleasure but also takes the planet into consideration.”

A rep noted four recycled 330ml drink cans provide enough aluminum to manufacture one Love Not War toy; its latest product release, Maya, is made up of 99% recycled aluminum and requires only three Coke cans to produce.

Further, one recycled daily newspaper (approximately 120g) is enough to make the cardboard packaging and inserts for two Love Not War units (60g per unit). All of the packaging is fully compostable.

LOS ANGELES — GoAskAlex has penned a new blog post for SexWorkCEO.com titled “Leading with Compassion.”

In the article, Alex explores moral judgment, personal and professional respect as well as extending empathy in the online space.

“With so many people watching our every move online, the way we conduct ourselves has become a critical component in the longevity of our careers,” Alex shared.

Alex touched upon how people should try to avoid an immediate judgmental response when they see something they don’t like online.

“Considering our public role as influencers in the adult entertainment industry, we’ve learned that we need to be diligent with how we interact with the world. We are, after all, at the core of much social change, when we see something we don’t agree with, our first instinct is to say so. It’s important to remember how easy it is for us to be judgmental when our mistakes aren’t the ones being scrutinized. The truth is, things look different depending on which side of the keyboard we’re on,” Alex continued.

She also covers issues with calling out people over misunderstandings and mix-ups.

“We truly have no idea what anyone else is dealing with, or what experiences may have led to their behavior. Since we live in a digital world, it’s more important than ever to be diligent about how we conduct ourselves; we are all working towards our idea of success, and through that process we inevitably learn that it’s impossible to be perfect all of the time,” Alex concluded.

LOS ANGELES — Industry vet Megan Stokes has launched Fanwire, described as a growth hack platform for content creators.

“As she watched the explosion of the creator industry, Megan saw time and again that popular creators with large followings were struggling to scale their businesses,” a rep said. “Marketing, sales, accounting, admin and editing were overwhelming people who got into the business to make exciting content. So when she met a team of talented developers capable of executing her vision, Megan leaned in, determining the biggest bottlenecks and guiding them to build tools which help creators save time and increase earnings.”

Following a year of private development, Fanwire has now unveiled its first publicly available suite of tools for managing and selling fan content.

With Fanwire, noted the rep, creators can more efficiently “boost auto-renew rates, easily reconnect expired fans, store and distribute media, track and analyze sales, optimize DMs and PPV sales, create personalized promotions and strategically market to top spenders.”

Fanwire is currently available at no cost to creators for the first 30 days. “Afterward, pricing varies based on the size of the active user audience,” the rep said.

“I’ve built my career helping creators,” said Stokes. “I know that not every creator needs a management team. So after looking at the issues that were holding creators back, I partnered with a team of incredible developers to build easy-to-use, smart tools that can help every creator grow, regardless of income.

“This isn’t just about money, it’s about mental health,” Stokes added. “Whether you’re an individual creator or have a whole team working with you, we understand how overwhelming it can be. Fanwire helps you reduce your admin tasks and take back your time. I want every creator to be able to succeed while focusing on what they love. I am so excited to get these tools to creators!”
