We-Vibe Reveals Results of Study on Pleasure Products, Relationships

We-Vibe Reveals Results of Study on Pleasure Products, Relationships

BERLIN — We-Vibe has released the results of a study it conducted on the impact of pleasure products on relationships.

“Our vision is to enrich the sex lives of couples,” said sexologist Elisabeth Neumann, head of user research at We-Vibe. “We want to inspire people to try new things, be adventurous and talk to each other about it. The success of the products and our customers’ feedback show that sex toys help couples rediscover their intimacy, communicate needs more openly, and be at ease about their sexuality.”

According to the company, nearly half of participants — 46% — say that communication has improved since introducing couples’ vibrators to their relationships.

Almost three-quarters of European couples — 72% — report that fun during sex has increased with the use of couples’ vibrators, 53% of users claim more frequent or more intense orgasms, and 44% say they feel closer to their partners.

In the LGBTQ+ community, 41% of respondents say they have tried and found new places for their sexual activities, while 43% say the We-Vibe app, which allows one partner to control the vibrator for the other from a distance, has improved their sex life when they can’t be physically near each other.

“Experimenting with sex toys stimulates the imagination and lets couples talk more openly about their preferences,” Neumann added. “We are particularly pleased that more than a third of the participants report that their communication in the partnership has improved. A sex toy doesn’t even have to be used for that, but it’s often a good start for talking about desires and preferences.”

Max Hardcore Passes Away at 66

LOS ANGELES — Controversial director-producer-performer Max Hardcore passed away today in Los Angeles, industry friends and associates report. He was 66.

The gonzo and fetish porn pioneer reportedly suffered an infection and organ failure following chemotherapy treatment for thyroid cancer.

With over 500 performer credits and over 300 director credits listed by IAFD, Hardcore was a recognizable figure in industry events, rarely seen without his signature cowboy hat.

An active social media user, Hardcore had spent much of his convalescence promoting his archival content through his paysite Max-Hardcore.com.

During one of the most prominent George W. Bush-era attacks on Free Speech, Hardcore was the subject of a high-profile case when a Florida federal jury indicted him for distributing obscene material through the mail and online.

Hardcore was convicted in federal court for violating U.S. obscenity laws. Five of his titles came under scrutiny in court, including “Golden Guzzlers” and “Fist of Fury.” Hardcore said these releases were intended for European distribution and not in the U.S. But the mail order company he used began selling them in the U.S., which compromised him.

“I didn’t monitor the situation strongly enough,” he told XBIZ upon his release. “The money was rolling in, the girls were hot, the cars were fast, the booze never ran out. I just went with it. That was my mistake. I thought that if [the mail order company] was selling them, and not me, that I was protected.”

He was sentenced to 46 months and served 30 months of his sentence in a Texas Federal Prison from 2009 until 2011.

“No man deserves four years in prison because 12 people didn’t like his movie,” Hardcore said. “But I’ve accepted it and come to terms with it.”I never want to forget the experience because it’s an important part of my life and a turning point for me and the industry. I feel in great shape and mentally I feel that I’ve really grown and improved myself in ways that really matter.”

Hardcore’s propensity for extreme content, and his unapologetic defense of his on-set behavior creating it, made him also a common target of anti-porn crusaders, who continue mischaracterizing his decidedly fringe output and practices as typical of the entire industry.

Justifying his work, Hardcore turned the accusing fingers back to the society that demonized him. ”Society has spoken, and they’ve demanded it,” he said in 2009. “There’s more people buying my videos than people protesting my videos. When I was put on federal trial in Tampa, Fla., there were no protesters. There were no picketers. There were no people angrily denouncing me as I came in and left the courtroom.”

XBIZ will continue updating this report as more information becomes available.

German Police Threaten Creators, Scholars for Posting Adult Content on Twitter

BERLIN — German police have been threatening adult content creators with criminal charges for posting explicit videos and images on Twitter.

According to testimony by several German content creators, documents reviewed by XBIZ and an article published by Wired today, Berlin police have sent letters accusing adult content creators of “unlawfully sharing porn on the internet.”

Wired spoke to amateur content makers Tim and Julian Blesh, who said that a few weeks ago they received a letter, on official Berlin Police letterhead, which the magazine described as “distinctly vague.”

The letter, Wired’s Matt Burgess explained, “doesn’t say where on the internet they were accused of sharing pornography illegally, nor which specific law they have broken.”

After the couple contacted the police, an investigator allegedly told them that law enforcement “had found porn on their Twitter account,” had screenshots of their posts and “had identified a lack of measures to prevent children from potentially seeing the adult content.”

Tim and Julian Blesh were threatened with “a fine of thousands of euros.”

An ‘Escalation’ in Germany’s Porn Crackdown

According to Wired, these police threats “signal an escalation in Germany’s porn crackdown and come as authorities are using an artificial intelligence system to detect pornography. Regulators have developed an AI system, dubbed KIVI, to spot pornography and offensive content on Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Telegram, and more — scanning thousands of public posts and web pages per day.”

Content creators contacted by Wired said that the tactics “have scared them into not sharing content. They have deleted thousands of tweets and say they feel censored.”

“I feel ashamed sometimes,” said one of them. “That’s having a psychological impact on me. All I wanted to do is express my sexuality.”

The Long Arms of Germany’s Top Anti-Porn Bureaucrat

This escalation of threats against adult content creators who post in open platforms like Twitter and Reddit can be traced back to the efforts of leading German anti-porn crusader Tobias Schmid, head of the State Media Authority of North Rhine-Westphalia.

As XBIZ has been reporting, Schmid, who has been described as having “a fetish for order,” has targeted tube sites and individual creators, first at the local and then at the national level.

The obscure local bureaucrat’s efforts resulted in the creation of KIVI surveillance software, which he has been attempting to expand to all of Europe. KIVI automatically scans all online content to determine which images are not compliant with the law.

Last year, Schmid held a press conference boasting of the effectiveness of his technology for monitoring the content of his fellow Germans and Europeans. He proudly explained that he coined the name KIVI after “KI” — the German initials for AI — and “VI” from the Latin word “vigilare,” meaning “to survey.”

One of Schmid’s reps at the North Rhine-Westphalia Media Authority told Wired, “In Germany, the distribution of pornography on the internet is only permitted in closed user groups with prior age verification. Since this is not the case on Twitter, the distribution of pornography via Twitter in its current form is not permitted in Germany.”

Anneke Plass, the communications director and spokesperson for the Media Authority of Berlin and Brandenburg, told Wired that in December, that bureau reported 32 accounts to the public prosecutor’s office for sharing pornography, followed by another 104 cases in March.

According to Plass, “providers” — her term for creators — of adult content “are responsible for making sure that children and young people cannot access the content.”

If providers do not meet these requirements, Plass added, “they are by law punishable by imprisonment up to one year or by a fine.”

The Chilling Effect of German Police Threats

Porn researcher and scholar Madita Oeming also reported having suffered the chilling effects of the German police crackdown on open sexual expression, following Schmid’s campaign.

Oeming — a prestigious academic, thinker and media contributor who has participated in XBIZ Berlin panels — told Wired that she received two letters from authorities in February 2022, targeting specific tweets.

“They had maybe 20 examples in that letter but said there are many more and all need to be deleted,” Oeming explained, giving a full outline of how state surveillance of adult content on Twitter affects free speech in Germany in 2023.

“After speaking with a lawyer and some back and forth with authorities,” Burgess wrote, “Oeming started deleting tweets. Over the course of two weeks, she deleted around 2,000 tweets. ‘I couldn’t bring myself to just delete my account,’ Oeming says. The second letter said Oeming needed to employ a ‘youth protection officer’ to oversee her content. ‘They basically flagged me as potentially damaging to the youth, so I need somebody to observe what I’m doing,’ Oeming says, adding that the oversight costs around €100 per month. ‘Ever since then, I haven’t used Twitter the way I used to before. It was a very strong feeling of being censored.’”

Unlike the U.S., Germany does not have First Amendment-style, expansive Free Speech protections.
