Reading, ENGLAND — Concept to Consumer has launched as a collective of sexual wellness and sextech global business experts who offer their insight, knowledge and services with the aim of helping its clientele of adult businesses expand.

CtoC’s in-house experts can provide guidance on branding, marketing, product and packaging design, engineering, logistics and fulfillment, as well as cutting-edge technology and patents.

One of the founders and CEO, Gary Ayckbourn said, “We wanted to be able to provide a wider range of services and opportunities to businesses already in the industry and have those services available from people who understand how unique and wonderful our market is, because they have lived it, work in it and know the global dynamics of it.”

CtoC Collective says it brings together a team of industry professionals with established and successful businesses within the adult market worldwide; and its founders have over 150 years of experience and expertise.

“With the expansion of adult products outside our traditional market, we run the risk of being left behind or left out completely,” Ayckbourn said. “We wanted to create this collective of people within the adult industry to ensure we have a voice and that if mainstream brands want to explore the possibilities, they are talking to people who come from the business. For example, if they want a sexologist, I would much rather it was someone like Dr. Sunny Rogers, who has been in the business for over 25 years, knows it inside out and will represent us properly. If we can have a voice and a central point for us to work together, we can be stronger than ever and define the future of the industry, like we have shaped its past and present.”

LOS ANGELES — Sex-positive retailer Restrained Grace will serve as the guest moderator of tomorrow’s edition of the Twitter-based chat show #SexTalkTuesday.

“Owned by intersectional feminists who believe that ‘BDSM is for everybody,’ Restrained Grace creates elegant, feminine and classically designed kink gear, day collars and much more,” a rep noted.

“We are especially interested in discussing the imagery of BDSM,” said the rep, “as Restrained Grace is about crafting a visual narrative with diverse bodies and loving relationships.”

The discussion, produced by Sssh.com founder Angie Rowntree, will unspool from 5-6 p.m. (PST).

“Since many of our #SexTalkTuesday followers participate in some form of kink, we are super-excited to bring on Restrained Grace and explore how imagery informs sex play — and vice versa. Fantasies are often visually driven [and] this discussion should hopefully ignite everyone’s curiosity,” said Rowntree.

The rep noted Restrained Grace aims to open their first retail location, a “shame-free sex shop,” in San Diego early this year.

“We’re working to stock top-shelf adult products along with our own handcrafted bondage gear, jewelry and apparel, in addition to products with low accessibility locally, like chest binders, packer gear and a library of books on topics from sex for beginners through LGBTQ+ history and leather culture. We’ll also be offering adult sex-ed classes and more.”

To take part in Tuesday’s chat, follow the #SexTalkTuesday hashtag. Visit the show online and on Twitter for the latest updates.
