MONTREAL — BranditScan will lead an XBIZ Miami panel Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. (PDT) titled “BranditScan Presents: Dealing With Piracy and Privacy in the Modern Age.”

Panelists include Cattie Candescent, Destiny Diaz, Korina Kova and brand ambassador Noah Bensi, “all of whom have been super-vocal activists against content piracy and privacy for creators,” noted a rep.

“The panel aims to help educate creators of the risks and issues surrounding piracy and privacy in the industry and create awareness around prevention,” added the rep.

“Last year, I created a YouTube video that got a ton of creators fired up about stopping piracy and stolen content,” Bensi explained. “At the time, we had an amazing discussion but there was really no real solution to fixing our problem. I’m so excited to be sitting on BranditScan’s panel this year and to be able to share not only my experience with piracy but finally share a solution.”

AXEL, Netherlands — Tonga has announced the release of two new remote-control vibrating eggs from Dream Toys.

According to Tonga, Dream Toys already offered kegel balls with a seamless silicone coating available in purple, pink and green, with metal balls that roll around for stimulation and also strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

“What was still missing in the ‘All-Time Favorites’ collection was vibrating eggs and Tonga has recently added those to make the range more complete,” the company said.

The new 10-Function Wireless Remote Egg features 10 vibration settings, a retrieval cord and a wireless remote control. The vibrating egg is waterproof and rechargeable with the included USB-pin cable. The remote requires batteries and has two buttons to control the vibrations of the egg.

The other new egg is the 10-Function Wireless Remote Egg with Display, which is splash-proof and has 10 modes of vibration as well. It’s larger in size and the remote control features a display that shows which vibration is being used. Both the egg and remote require batteries.

BEND, Ore. — Lora DiCarlo was featured today by Oregon publication Willamette Weekly, after company founder Lora Haddock’s appearance at the TechFestNW event earlier this week.

Willamette Weekly described Haddock’s Monday morning conversation with moderator Yesenia Gallardo Avilia, titled “A Sex Tech Founder’s Battle for Equity,” as an explanation of “the uphill battle of trying to pitch a dual-stimulator sex toy to panels of middle-aged male investors who had dismissed Lora DiCarlo’s product as a niche ‘woman’s issue’.”

Lora DiCarlo, the weekly pointed out, “markets its products toward ‘people with vaginas,’ not just women, since some nonbinary people and trans men also have vaginas.”

The article, written by Willamette Weekly’s Shannon Gormley, also revisited the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) controversy that catapulted Lora DiCarlo into mainstream brand consciousness.

After talking about how some CES officials had deemed her pleasure products “obscene, profane and immoral,” Haddock told TechFestNW that her company and work are “not just about sex.”

“It’s all about pursuing your sexuality and your identity, and how that influences how you show up in the world,” Haddock said.

The company founder’s Oregon credentials were emphasized at the event. Haddock attended Portland State University and originally developed her products through an Oregon State University robotics department partnership.

Haddock also spoke about the COVID-19-related boom in pleasure products. “Sales rocketed when people were stuck at home,” she said. “People were like, ‘I’m going to figure out myself.’”

DALLAS — Dallas Novelty sponsored a recent episode of “The SDR Show” by supplying the Esca 2 pleasure toy from OhMiBod and Kiiroo to guests Sonia Harcourt and Autumn Bodell.

The episode, titled “Beat Me to the Finish,” commemorated “Masturbation May” and was hosted by Ralph Sutton and Big Jay Oakerson.

“The OhMiBod-Kiiroo Esca 2 toy is one of our hottest toys during the pandemic since you can play with your lover from across the room or across the country,” Dallas Novelty’s Nick Mahler said. “It is on the cutting-edge of the high-tech sex toys and just continues to get better with feedback from users, especially the camgirls who use these toys to let people control them from afar.”

“The Esca 2 can also connect with male toys from Kiiroo, so there are many more options,” he added.

Harcourt thoroughly enjoyed her time on the show.

“I had so much fun with the Esca 2 on ‘The SDR Show’ playing with Ralph and Jay and especially with Autumn,” she said. “It’s a great toy. Thank you, Dallas Novelty, for the great gift of orgasms.”

The “Beat Me to the Finish” episode can be found on YouTube; find “The SDR Show” online and on Twitter.

LOS ANGELES —  SlutInspection.com has announced a relaunch of its membership site under FPN Cash.

The site, marketed for the “cuckqueen” (female cuckold) niche, aims to bring “porn fans everywhere a special realm of exhibitionist content from director and producer Suzanne Ferrari,” said a rep.

SlutInspection is branded as “ethical non-monogamous porn where wives, husbands and girlfriends alike can let their freak flags fly. Consent and enjoyment are at the forefront of our mission and are displayed through every step of the process.”

The content features Suzanne Ferrari “filming a harem of beautiful amateur and pro performers fucking her husband, Dan Ferrari.”

“Creating SlutInspection has given me the tools to create the kind of porn set where every woman will be safe and secure,” said Suzanne Ferrari. “It’s important to me that we treat the models with the respect that they deserve to have on every set, but often aren’t given.”

The director added that “the website is a mixture of wholesome and hardcore and the scenes are unscripted so everything that you see is authentic. We like to call it ‘purecore.'”

“My experience with the SlutInspection team was unlike any other set I’ve been on,” said performer Blake Blossom. “Charismatic, kind and insanely talented people go above-and-beyond to provide a memorable, comfortable atmosphere. When Suzanne first explained the concept of the site to me, I think I asked her at least 20 times, ‘Wait, are you serious?’ and, ‘Are you sure?’ Although I was initially nervous, those feelings melted away once we got to the good stuff.”
