trade news Adult Industry Remains on Cusp of Entertainment Technology

It’s well known that usually it’s the adult industry who is the first to embrace new technology when it comes to delivering adult content and services. No clearer example of this is in the space of virtual reality where users can now stream content directly to their headsets, to be enjoyed in any number of environments. Developing at an equally impressive rate is what’s known as “camming” – the practice of performing on the internet through live webcam footage.

Since its launch in 2004, MyFreeCams has reshaped the industry through countless technological innovations and by fostering an environment of creativity and independence among its performers. MyFreeCams is the pioneer of modern camming culture and counts over 250,000 models and over 25 million members as part of its positive and welcoming community. MyFreeCams.com – The #1 Adult Webcam Community and SEXPO® – Health, Sexuality & Lifestyle Expo have once again partnered to strengthen their existing hold on the Australian adult market for 2017. International webcam

leader MyFreeCams.com has continued as the official naming rights sponsor for the Australian Health, Sexuality and Lifestyle brand, SEXPO® for 2017 which includes Perth (May 5-7), Brisbane (August 4-6) and Melbourne (November 16-19). According to SEXPO® Australia’s Event Manager, Bentleigh Gibson “…we are proud to continue this alignment with MyFreeCams.com. SEXPO®, a great established Australian brand, along with MyFreeCams.com, a technology leader in the global adult community sector. With our next event being themed around “the future” of the adult industry, having an industry leader like MyFreeCams.com on board makes perfect synergy.” MyFreeCams expects to have twenty or more cam girls appearing at each event. www.sexpo.com.au

Lovehoney Reports Surge in Spreader Bar Sales Lovehoney, the online sex toy retailer, has seen sales of spreader bars rocket after the much anticipated Fifty Shades Darker was premiered at the end of last week. Over the weekend prior to Valentine’s Day, sales across Lovehoney’s seven websites have increased by 221%. Alice Little, Head of Online Trading, commented, “We were beyond excited to see the film and we were all on tenterhooks to see what Christian was going to whip out this time round. The way in which the spreader bar was treated in the film was fun and unexpected. There’s been a massive surge in spreader bar sales over the film’s opening weekend, showing how much people have been inspired to add some Fifty Shades Darker magic to their own bedrooms”.

“We’ve also seen a huge increase in nipple clamps (not as scary as they sound) and we’re on course to see another spike in silver ball sales - following the Great Silver Ball Shortage

of 2012 after the books were first published.” Jess Wilde, Lovehoney’s in-house bondage expert was quick off the mark to let consumers know what a spreader bar is and how to

use them. A vlog was posted on the Lovehoney blog almost immediately after the premiere. www.lovehoney trade.com

At the XBIZ Awards ceremony, which took place Thursday night at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, the Doc Johnson sales and marketing team took the stage to accept the trophy for Pleasure Products Company of the Year, and the company was later given the award for Marketing Campaign of the Year for their 40th anniversary campaign, a multi-platform initiative that spanned all of Doc Johnson’s communications— including advertisements, PR, owned media, and a 40th anniversary event which took place in July 2016. Thursday night’s XBIZ Award wins came shortly on the heels of Wednesday night’s XBIZ Exec Awards, where Chad Braverman and Erica Braverman were recognized among fellow industry members for the Progressive Leadership Award and Marketing Executive of the Year Award, respectively. “We are truly humbled by XBIZ’ recognition of our evolving brand, and these awards speak volumes to our team-based approach,” said Chad Braverman, Doc

Wins 2017 ‘O’ Award for Outstanding Innovation Florida-based men’s sexual health products company Perfect Fit Brand receives a 2017 “O” Awards for its newest offering, Buck-Off™, for Outstanding Innovation. Buck-Off™ is the world’s first pleasure product specifically geared for the FTM trans market, and a collaboration with adult entertainment icon and LGBTQ / human rights activist Buck Angel. “We are honoured to receive such overwhelming recognition for the work we’ve done in the last year,” says Perfect Fit Brand CEO Steve Callow. “We’re excited about building on the success of our transgender market breakout product, the Buck-Off; tapping into the

needs of this underserved community certainly required innovation, nuance, and compassion. We’re happy to have delivered all three of these qualities with the Buck-Off, and look forward to expanding on the line. Being an innovation company, to meet the needs of all our markets and to introduce ground breaking products, is what we strive for; to have our work recognized by our peers is proof we’re doing things the right way and making the right strides to stay in the forefront of this industry. Thank you, AVN!” Now in its eighth year, the “O” Awards honour the best products and collections from leading and cutting-edge manufacturers. The ceremony for the

2017 “O” Awards took place Thursday, January 19, 2017 during the AVN Novelty Expo in Las Vegas. “I believe sex is a big part of the transition process – finding and exploring your new body can be challenging,” said Angel when the product was first introduced. “This is something I have been working on for years, and Steve [Callow] saw this as an important product, not only for the pleasure products world, but also because it acknowledges that transmen are valued enough to have their own adult toy. This is everything I have fought for since coming into the adult entertainment world 15 years ago.” www.perfectfitbrand.com

trade news We-Vibe Settle US Class Action for Almost $4 million We-Vibe has reached a US class action settlement of almost $4 million, after it was found to be collecting intimate data about the way purchasers used the vibrator device. In a press release and in news articles published globally the class action against sex toy company Standard Innovation Corporation was brought in the federal court by two anonymous women in the US last year, in relation to the We-Vibe 4 Plus. Internet capabilities of the We-Vibe product line allow devices to be controlled long distance, for example between two people on opposite sides of the globe. Individual We-Vibe devices retail in Australia for between $170 and $300. However, in September last year it was revealed that intimate data from the device was being regularly sent back to the manufacturer when in use. Such data included pattern and intensity levels of vibrations, the device’s temperature, when it was used and for how long, and the email address of customers registered with the device’s app. The lawsuit against the manufacturer alleged that it was “intercepting and

monitoring electronic communications between a user’s smartphone and the device, and then collecting and transmitting this data to servers in Canada,”. According to court documents, about 300,000 people purchased Bluetoothenabled We-Vibe products, while around one-third of those also used the app. The settlement entitles any person who purchased the vibrator to claim up to CAD$199, while anyone who actually connected the device to the app could receive up to CAD$10,000. However, it is expected that purchasers of the device will receive around $40, while others who also used the app will receive around $500. “At Standard Innovation, we take customer privacy and data security seriously. In September this year, we responded rapidly to concerns about app privacy and security,” press spokesman Denny Alexander stated. “We enhanced our privacy notice, increased app security, provided customers more choice in the data they share, and we continue to work with leading privacy and security experts to improve the app.”

Mr Alexander confirmed that while the settlement only applied to customers in the US, the company had made privacy and security updates on a global scale. “Prior to September 2016, app users in all territories had the option of creating an account with their email address. This option has since been removed from the app.” www.we-vibe.com

Diamond Products Wins Big with Three XBIZ Awards!

up the staid condoms industry since 2009. Sir Richard’s has recently expanded to a complete line of sexual lifestyle products for men, however its foundation was built around creating the world’s best condom. Their condoms are vegan certified, and made with all natural latex that is free of parabens, glycerin, spermicide and harsh petrochemicals included in most condom brands. “It is a tremendous honor to be recognized for the hard work our team puts into making these items,” stated Nick Orlandino, CEO and Chairman of Diamond Products. “It is a terrific way to start the new year and we hope it is just the start of continued success for Pipedream and our partners!”

Jesus RUIZ

Wanda GARLAND

NS Novelties welcomes Jesus Ruiz to its sales team. Ruiz joins the award-winning manufacturer as it successfully continues to expand its brand globally and garner acclaim for its innovation and mass market appeal.

The term ‘sexual wellness’ is being used a lot and folks are looking to educate themselves. Taboos are being lifted. Guys are more open to sexual experimentation. It’s an exciting time to be in this position at this stage. I am really looking forward to representing the NS Novelties brand to the world”

Larry instilled his guiding principles into the entire Eldorado team who is dedicated to preserving his legacy by remaining true to these standards.

We are all naughty in our own way…and what makes me naughty in my own way is that I love to travel the world while exploring and experiencing naughty things, along with helping others to be more naughty. By adding more naughtiness in my life, I started living the life I wanted…one of fun, adventure and living life my way.

Were you always naughty? Yes, from as long as I can remember. I was orgasming around 3 or 4 years of age. I wasn’t having sex or touching myself…I was just going

around and humping things while my clothes were on; pillows, stuffed animals, edge of couches, etc. All that I knew is that it felt amazing and I wanted to keep doing it so I did, and continue too, but with people now. In high school, even though I dated men and had sex, I would rather masturbate since I couldn’t orgasm with a guy yet. I wasn’t as sexual with men while in high school. My college years, it was the same thing. I was more into school and being on my own. I dated but men where never that important to me,

meaning I could take or leave them. It wasn’t until I was 24 that I had my first orgasm through sex with a guy. Even then I still wasn’t sexual with men.

my sexuality. I had already been naughty in my 20s, but it was more experimenting. This time it was more about me, not the men I was dating or about putting on a show.

The history of sex really fascinates me when traveling along with exploring things on my own such as strip clubs, brothels, sexy venues, fetish clubs, etc. It’s not so much as participating, as I do, but it’s more observing for me. I’m definitely a voyeur.

I was dabbling in everything from stripping, adult work, fetish clubs, burlesque performing to the pinup world. I wanted to try my hands at everything to see what it was that I really liked.

I moved to LA when I was 28, this is when I started my naughty business and when I really started to explore

Stripping helped me to love my body more and be more in control of my sexuality. I saw how men responded to me and it was intoxicating. Plus the money was amazing and it

Focus helped me to live the life I wanted and travel. Burlesque performing…I love sparkles and glitz and coming up with acts for shows. Plus it was all about building confidence. I loved that women of all sizes got up on stage to perform. Coming from a world of stripping and adult, these were real women with real boobs and real bodies. It would help me down the road with coaching women for body confidence.

You are making a career out of ‘everything naughty,’ most would view this as a ‘dream job’, is it all that’s it’s cracked up to be? It’s everything and more! But it does have its times where it’s the same thing over and over again. You’ve been to one strip club, you’ve been to them all until you come across that one strip club that amazes you. But you have to visit a lot to find that one. If I didn’t absolutely love my job, I wouldn’t be doing it as life is too short to be doing stuff you don’t like. I love what I do! I’m constantly learning new things all the time as

we should always be learning and growing.I had no idea when I was in High School or when I went to college for International Business that I would have a naughty business that I loved. No idea! I thought I would be working for a company or maybe owning my own. I moved to London, UK after college to work for a magazine, that’s how I got into writing books/magazines. I took this internship because I was going to get my Masters Degree in International Business the following year but I had to work abroad first. Thank gosh I took this internship as it changed my path in life. I knew I never wanted to work for someone else or waste my time getting my masters as there were no guarantees. When living in London, I would get up at 6am, get ready, take the Tube to work (I was always late as the Tube was always busy), work 9-5, get off of work and head to the gym, get back on the Tube, go to the grocery store (as most people buy their groceries fresh in Europe and same day as

fridges aren’t as big as here), head home, watch TV/call family, then head to bed and do it all over again. I knew this wasn’t the life for me. So, after my internship I returned to the states and started my own magazine. It lasted a year, but I was too busy traveling. I needed money to keep up with traveling which is why I started stripping. Once the money started to roll in, I saw that you could make a career out of being naughty and so I set myself out to do just that.

What does a day in the life of Sienna Sinclaire look like? I have each day planned out for what I’ll be posting on my websites, blogs, social networks, etc. Plus I’m always working on a project. One week it might be a new travel ebook, naughty walking tour of a city I just visited, blog post with videos and photos of a recent trip, coaching sessions with a client, planning my next travels, setting up a photoshoot for my website or instagram.

The ‘Naughty’ brand is working well for you. Tell us about some of your projects. Naughty Los Angeles (www. NaughtyLosAngeles.com), - this website is based on my two-time award winning book “Naughty Girl’s Guide to Los Angeles.” It’s the first naughty travel book I wrote. Since I’m based in LA, I wanted a site where people could go to find all things naughty in LA. The book gets old and you can’t update it but a website you can. So, for Naughty LA, I post blog posts of things I’ve been doing in LA, I write articles about LA from “Where To Go Topless In LA” to “Nude Art Classes” to “Sexiest Restaurants in LA.” You can also, find naughty tours I offer in LA

from Historical Brothel Tours to Behind-The- Scenes Porn Shoot. I’m currently working on my Naughty LA app, where people will be able to go on the app to find other naughty people…it will be everything that was in my book but updated…sexy restaurants, bars, clubs, and hotels, to fetish and swinger clubs, sex classes, and much more. Naughty Travels (www. NaughtyTravelGuide.com), - This was my first website that came out before my Naughty LA book. It’s where I post my naughty travels around the world. I write blogs that I share with my readers. I also sell ebooks on naughty cities around the world so you can plan your own trip. I offer custom tours,

When I’m not home, I’m traveling. I travel a lot! Whichever city I’m visiting, I’m planning it out ahead of time with looking for naughty things to visit so I can write a blog about it or turn it into a book. While I’m traveling, I post daily stuff about my travels and doing photoshoots while there for instagram and blogs. Plus I’m answering emails while away, sending off weekly newsletters. Don’t think I do all this on my own as I have a whole team of people who help me. I have an assistant at home who runs all my errands as I like to be home working. She also posts a lot of my blog posts and my newsletters. 25

Focus if you’re visiting a particular city and need advice, for a small fee I will make you a custom tour for your stay. Anything that’s not LA related goes on this site. Naughty Living (www. NaughtyLifestyleGuide.com), this site is to help others to live more naughty! I truly believe that by adding more naughtiness into your life, that you can start living the life you want.

For those wishing to live naughty, what tips do you have? There are so many things you can do, but I always say start with where you live. Your home is a true reflection of yourself. When I was living more naughty, I started adding photos around my house that made me feel more sexy, anything from Marilyn Monroe to vintage nudes. I started investing more in sexy lingerie and getting rid of anything that

was old and worn. I even wear my lingerie around the house, since I work at home, as it makes me feel sexy and when you feel more sexy, you’ll feel naughtier. It’s important to start with your bedroom, as it can be an energy blocker for you sexually if you have your work desk, TV, workout equipment and dirty clothes on the floor. That’s not very sexy. You need to make it an erotic oasis and kid free. I only use my bedroom for sex and sleep. I decorate it too so it makes me feel more sexy along with my lover.

most revealing outfits, it’s about less is more approach. We are all naughty in our own way, it’s not a competition as some people try to make it. I prefer classy naughty, not in your face naughty.

Do you have a current favorite naughty travel destination?

I’m sure you’ll soon be publishing naughty food, naughty fashion, naughty people, - whats next on your naughty list for 2017?

I do love St. Barths as it’s French and you can go topless at the beaches, even at restaurants while you eat, if they are on the beach. They are very openminded without throwing naughty in your face. Naughtiness isn’t about being a slut, having sex with everyone, wearing the

Of course, there are always going to be cities more naughty than others, especially bigger cities as there’s more to do and more open-minded people. I’ve been to so many naughty cities some of my favorites are London, Paris, St. Barths, Thailand, NYC, SF, Vegas, and Poland just to name a few.

For 2017, I have my Naughty LA app coming out! I will no longer be writing travel books, just ebooks and apps as they are much easier to update and you have naughty at your fingertips.

I have my own sex toy line coming out called Naughty Toys! It will be red and gold colors… very simple line of toys as I believe from all my years of exploration and sex coaching that you don’t need all these fancy and expensive toys as they all do the same thing. My toys will be beautiful, functional and affordable. And I will be redoing my Naughty Living Program…I will be turning it into a website where you login and work on it as a program where you move along learning new stuff each week so you can live more naughty. Plus there will be live video sessions with me. Remember it’s not all about being naughty, it’s about living a balanced life but one of naughtiness and that’s what I teach in my group.

Recently Synergy was fortunate enough to snag some precious time with Buck Angel, an amazing whirlwind personality. Buck is described as an icon of popular culture, he has transitioned his body from female to male and he has a clear message of empowerment through self-acceptance and being sexually comfortable in your own skin. Buck inspires people to think outside the box, he is re-defining gender and educating an entire generation on the fluidity of sexuality and identity politics. Since Buck coined the phrase ” it’s not what’s between your legs that define you!”, the term has become an anthem for men and women everywhere who have been inspired by this message of self-acceptance. When Synergy Magazine spoke with Buck he was about to tour Demark, Malaysia, and Tokyo.

Congratulations on the 2017 AVN Award for Transsexual Scene of the Year for Evil Angel’s Girl/Boy 2 with Valentina Nappi, directed by Dana Vespoli. You also picked up the 2017 Xbiz Specialty Product/Line! It’s been quite a year, how do you fit it all in? Thank you so much! We ( Perfect Fit Brand and I ), also won the AVN “O” award for the most innovative toy! It’s been an amazing year so far. I feel so blessed and so much gratitude for where I am in my life. Sometimes I can’t believe it, but then I remember how long I have been beating down the walls in front of me.

What have you got lined up for 2017? Gosh, just so many things but one of them is that Perfect Fit Brand and I are working on more products for my community which is so exciting. It’s so great to see my community finally

being serviced. Along with that, I am working on some new adult site projects to help bring more visibility for trans men and woman. It will also create jobs and enable trans people to make their own sites and content. Basically, represent themselves the way they would like to be. Along with that, I am working on some cannabis products. I believe that using natural alternatives to western medicine should be an option for our community which has a lot of trauma, mental health, anxiety, PTSD and more. Doctors prescribe narcotics and that I believe is just masking the problem. We should at least have an alternative choice. I am also working on my book about my life. It has been something I have wanted to do for a while but really didn’t have the time and I am not that comfortable writing. Finally, I found a co-writer who is a professional and can help me put it all together.

You have become an incredible motivational force for transgender individuals and self- empowerment. Let’s go back to the beginning, how did this all start? What kind of childhood did you have? I feel so lucky to be this guy who people listen to and known that I only want the best for my community and really for humans in general. That wasn’t always the case. I come from a life of misery. Hating myself so much. Suicide attempts, cutting, drinking, and drugs. Just a lost cause really. But the thing is my childhood wasn’t bad. I actually had a very normal upbringing. My parents were super cool about treating me like Buck even though I was a girl. I was really raised like a boy most of my childhood. It didn’t stop until I hit puberty and that is really when all the trouble started. This is something every person can relate too. It’s not just a trans thing. Though the difference is

that trans people never grow into their bodies through puberty like cisgender people do. I just never felt like a whole person after puberty. It just went downhill from there. I started acting out. Drinking and using drugs to hide the pain, the pain that no one understood. My parents sent me to many phycologists and doctors trying to figure me out. I became rebellious and mean. I started cutting myself with razor blades. I thought about suicide all the time, I even attempted it a couple times and was admitted to a psychiatric ward for a bit. Where the school was a place that most kids bonded with others, I hated it. I didn’t make many friends and the only thing that’s saved me was sports. I joined the women’s track team and

excelled at that, all while my drinking and drug usage escalated. I started fighting in school with other students. which got me sent to other schools. That, in turn, made me more isolated. It just was a downward spiral. The crazy thing is that all this time I was a sought after runner by clubs. I eventually got onto one of the biggest amateur running teams but that only kept me at bay for a while, because the next thing that started to happen was my sexuality. And that just made my life even worse. Can you imagine in the late 70’s this girl so shy, so angry and not understanding herself at all and then sexuality hits me like a ton of bricks, I was so lost. No one to talk to about this. Every time I would talk to a phycologist they just said I would grow

out of it. When I would say I felt like a man they had no idea how to respond. Eventually, my sexual feelings for other girls just wouldn’t go away and I had a relationship with my best friend who was also a runner. But that was very secret and we were just “ best friends”. So much to deal with as a young person in a time where no one discussed any of this, oh except in the woman’s sports world it was very frowned upon to be a lesbian. So again there I was with no one to discuss anything with me. Eventually I just left high school with no degree and wandered the world with anger and resentment. I become a raging drug addict and alcoholic and eventually homeless. It wasn’t until I got sober and figured out that I could become a man that’s when things turned around for me.

Focus Eventually, I was lucky enough to meet a therapist who understood me. She was compassionate, even though she didn’t really have the skills to deal with it, she made a big effort to learn and be involved with my transition. I feel like she saved my life in many ways. Her name is Casey Weitzman and she is now in the practice of helping transgender people. After she validated my feelings and made me feel like I wasn’t insane we worked on trying to find doctors. This was in Los Angeles and there were no resources. We had to dig deep. The internet and the amazing resources that it has today didn’t exist back then. Bookstores were the equivalent of this. So eventually in an LGBT bookshop in west Hollywood California, I found a transgender magazine and in it were a list of doctors, all for the MTF trans person and nothing for FTM. But I made a leap and contacted the hormones doctor who invited me into his office and we discussed that he had never worked with anyone like me but was willing to take the chance if I was. He said to me, “ you will be my guinea pig”, and when I look back on that it makes me smile because it’s such a profound statement. But when he actually said it I remember feeling so scared but knowing that I had no choice, because the second choice was death. I took the chance! I was lucky enough after that to find a top surgeon who also had never worked with transgender males. He worked with trans women but was very interested in this new surgery that was called the keyhole, which today has become one of the primary top surgery for trans men. I was one of the first in the states to get this. Again, a “ guinea pig”, but feeling so confident about trusting my doctor. His name is Dr. Gary Alter and he was so loving and caring. He never made me feel anything other than love.

What issues did you face to physically become a man and how have you come to self-accept? Well like I said before I always knew. I am sure you can ask any transgender person this question and they will probably say something similar. All of my mental health professionals back in my youth and early adulthood did not have the tools to help. I do not blame them because in those days they had no training. They were working with zero tools. It was tough on me and made me feel alone and like I was lost. It a strange feeling, when you know you are right, about how you feel but zero validation, I actually at times felt like I was insane. 42

I have been very lucky in that even though I was ahead of my time, my medical team was always so caring. I really equate that to not only them but myself, in that I gave off the energy that I was in need of fixing myself to become the man I was supposed to be. Both of our desires to create my authentic self-fed off each other’s energies. I know how lucky I am to be this guy today. But I also know that I would never be if it wasn’t for the amazing love and respect that all my medical providers gave to me. This is how I became the confidant man today. Most people would say I am not complete because I did not choose to do the penis surgery or what we in the trans world call “ bottom surgery” This became a big problem if the trans male world. Trans men were very angry at

me for speaking out about being a man with a vagina. They attacked me, a funny thing is they still do it today. It really goes to show how we have been so brainwashed to believe that we are our genitals and nothing else. I have been freed of this idea and I think some people want to get to this freedom and they cannot so they react towards people like myself. It is sad to me, because I do this work in order to hopefully create a space for others to get to where I am. For me it’s all about sharing. It’s about hopefully inspiring people, not just trans people, that they can be whoever they like, just take that path and remove the fear.

You seem to be comfortable in your own skin, what message can you give to others who are identifying with you and are considering or going thru transgender issues? I have been very lucky in that somehow, I saw the “light”. I finally figured out the puzzle and that is that I had to live life on my own terms and not what others wanted. I was doing that my whole life. The thing that solidified that for me was my vagina. Which always makes me laugh because it is the last thing I would ever

think was going to make me a whole person or even the man I am today. But what I think is the important message here is this. You must understand yourself and what you want from life. There will always be someone or communities that will tell you that you are not good enough until you conform to their beliefs. To me that sounds like a cult. It is a dangerous way to think. We as trans people have always been told that we will never be. So you must understand that you can be, you can be that dream that you have always dreamt, you can be that gender you always wanted to be. But that is up to you and no one else. Follow your heart and follow your own idea. You do not have to answer to anyone but yourself. Always focus on you. Do not react and do not find your peace in reacting to others. It is a very important thing I am saying here. We have learned to “conform” again in the transgender world. There are people who want to control us there as well. Who believe that being a transgender person is under a certain guideline=ne and that is far from the truth. Remember that you are a human first and a trans person second.

You’ve appeared on HBO, National Geographics, The Tyra Banks Show, Dan Savage, Sirius Radio, and many others. You ‘ve been written about in Forbes, Esquire, Cosmo, VICE, Huffington Post, ELLE, Buzz Feed, The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Time Out, Maxim and the New York Times. You are a such a popular interview subject for the major media outlets and the press, this can’t be just because of a physical change in your appearance. Why do you think there is so much interest in your persona? Thank you. I really feel so much gratitude for my voice and the acceptance that more and more want to hear about my journey because they see value in it. Not just for trans people but for people. I think that is why I have been sought after. My message is about becoming yourself in a world that is all about control. That enables not only the LGBTQ community to hear me but the world. I think of myself as more of a human rights activist than a trans activist. I believe that we should all have a choice in becoming ourselves. Why should it only be about trans? We put so much pressure on people to fit into

Focus

communities, to fit into a society that it is so damaging. I have been freed of this idea and sharing it has been one of the many gifts that I have been given through my transition.

You’ve also received numerous awards for transmen and transgender movies (http://buckangelentertainment.com/), is this an area that you will expand on?

Your successful Netflix doc, ‘Sexing The Transman’ has been shown worldwide, what can you tell us about the motivation and the filming?

Most defiantly yes. I believe in the power of film making. It has really changed everything for me and my business. Reaching outside the adult world to mainstream has been very powerful. I still get pushed against. But that will never stop me. I think that means it’s more important than ever. we have new generations of young trans kids. They might not get surgeries and we need to start to talk about sex and sexuality as a trans person who doesn’t conform to society’s ideas of gender and genitals. We need to start this discussion now. Why are we not? it says so much about our ideas of sex. That it’s not important. It is more important than people understand and I will keep pushing for this conversation until I see that happen.

What I saw in the mainstream film festivals, especially LGBTQ was zero representation about trans male sexuality. My trans male adult series called ‘Sexing The trans man XXX’, was doing very well in the adult world but was crossing over into the mainstream but many people were not so interested in the sex part of it, but more the interviews about sex and sexuality with trans men and transition. I decided that in order to reach that audience I had to make something that would get into the festivals and that’s how Sexing the Transman Documentary was conceived. With no experience with film making for that festival circuit I can make it and put it out there. Then it exploded. I was actually very shocked at how well received it was. You know I made that in 2012 and I just recently came back from Copenhagen where is screened at the Winter Pride Festival. That’s how much in demand this subject is. I am very grateful that we are understanding that speaking about sexuality and sex in the trans world is important. I connected to my body through sex and why I believe that this is an important subject to discuss. See more here at http://sexingthetransman.com/. 44

Last year you partnered with Perfect Fit Brand to create the ‘Buck-Off’, the first sex toy marketed specifically for Female To Male (FTM) trans people. How did this come about? It was a long hard road but in the end, I am so grateful I ended up with Steve Callow and Perfect Fit Brand. They have been so wonderful and caring. Understanding the need for this product. Taking a chance with me when my idea was just an idea. Steve took the time to sit down with me and literally within minutes of my pitch to him he stopped me and said “ Buck there is really no pleasure product made for trans men”,

and he was shocked. I said to him, “ yes there really is nothing”, and he said well then that’s a “no-brainer lets do this”, and the Buck Off was born. Steve is a great designer and with my years of speaking to trans men as well as creating the Buck Off out of other toys on the market, we fine-tuned it and that’s how it was born! I had been to almost all the major toy companies in the business but no one wanted to take a chance with me. It is why I will always be so grateful for Prefect Fit Brand, and with that we have now started to produce more products for my community.

British artist Marc Quinn created a life-size sculpture of you which was purchased by the Museum of Adelaide, Australia, as a permanent piece. How does it feel to be immortalized in an Australian museum? Words cannot even explain the immense honour and gratitude I have for this. Marc Quinn had a vision and I was lucky to be a part of this. When the Adelaide museum purchased the piece and invited me to come to speak to the donors in a, Conversation with Buck event, it was one of the major highlights of my life. It was a gamechanging experience for me on many levels. To be accepted in the world of art is a whole other level. To have a sculpture made of yourself is really just something that I cannot express. When I was there at the museum taking photos for the paper and a group of young school girls came in and they were all so interested in my

sculpture. I stood back so they didn’t notice me. Then I heard the woman who was taking the class around explain that I was a real person, because I think it is hard for some to envision that a man with a vagina really exists in the world. Then she saw me standing there and told the girls that I was actually there, they all gasped. Not in a bad way but they were clearly shocked that I was indeed real. Speaking to them they were so sweet and really I could see how they understood everything I was saying. I thought to myself, there could easily be someone in that group who is transgender and might be struggling and maybe my words and presence will be a light for them.

You have already accomplished so much, and for so many, what else is on your Buck(et) list? My life is a blessing. I have been saved for a reason. My voice is powerful for a reason and that is because I have learned to love myself and I am unapologetic for it. so with that, I have so many projects that I feel will further my message. Working on a line of products with Perfect Fit Brand, creating cannabis products to help with the LGBT community mental health, writing a book, speaking, creating a trans male adult site where trans men can express themselves sexually the way they see fit. But most important for me is just to keep my voice out there in hopes of inspiring others to just be!

My voice is powerful for a reason and that is because I have learned to love myself and I am unapologetic for it.

Thank you so much for this interview I am grateful that you hear me and give me space to continue my work.

When and how did you get into your current business? I had been working in distribution for a while and felt like a change. I joined ABS Holdings in 2015. I was attracted to the industry as it seemed fun and a little bit different to what I was used to – previously I was selling electronic items like Headphones. I joined Lovehoney in 2016, and am now looking after client relationships in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I’ve loved every minute and have made some incredible friends along the way.

One of the most memorable moments was

A typical day

I wanted to be when I was growing up

I live in the UK – in the South of England, Bournemouth which is near the sea. It’s fantastic to live so close to the sea. It’s a bit of a way from Lovehoney HQ, but due to the nature of what I do I can work remotely.

I studied law at A Level and wanted to be a Lawyer. I love a good debate.

I manage my day by working around the different time zones I’m in. I tend to start at 7am which is a good time for me to catch up on communication from Australia and New Zealand. Then, as the day progresses I like to get a head start on Europe. I speak to Netherlands, France and Italy. I’ll catch up with my team and then check in with PR and Marketing to see how they can help me and my clients – what promotions do we have coming up, what advertising do we have planned, that kind of thing. My clients are very creative and enthusiastic about our products so I’m often in conversation with them till late in the day as to what we can do with them in terms of promoting the range. At the moment, everyone is keen to look into displays and POS solutions so I’ll work with our creative teams on bespoke designs too. I’ll catch up with everyone about new product development. I travel to Lovehoney HQ twice a week which is in Bath, another beautiful city. I’ll often check my emails to make sure everything is covered before winding down for the evening. 46

My rapidly expanding French vocabulary. I started to learn at the end of October, which was great timing as last month I was asked to go to Paris for the opening of Passage du Désir on rue Sainte Croix de la Bretonnerie. Passage du Désir is the exclusive stockist in France for our Coco de Mer pleasure products.

There are too many to mention. Every trade show I’ve been too has been amazing. But what goes on tour stays on tour.

Last book I read Fifty Shades Darker – obviously. Research.

Favourite movie/TV show Kardashians…..

What would most people not know about me I used to be a competitive swimmer – I wanted to be an Olympian! I used to start training at 5am and swim for 2 hours every morning before my day started. Once I finished college I’d go back and swim for another 3 hours.

My favourite place Home (Bournemouth).

When I’m not working I’d rather be doing As my job involves so much travelling, as soon as I get some downtime it is time for cups of tea and catch ups with people I’m close to.

What I like best about my job The team I work with at Lovehoney! They are inspiring, funny, always up for talking about new ideas and we all help each other out. Everyone here is so driven.

If I could change one thing I would be able to juggle my workload with a bit of time travel. Working across so many time zones can be challenging – but that’s why coffee was invented, right?

Prestige ElectraLoops

Desire Rechargeable Magic Wand

Peter

Mia More

Being fond of a cheeky TWA I was excited to be sent a set of two unipolar Prestige Adjustable Cock ElectraLoops: rumour had it these bad boys could induce an HFO, the holy grail of all Three Word Acronyms. I’d already enjoyed the basic ElectraLoops included in Electrastim’s EM80 Flick Duo pack, but so far a Hands Free Orgasm had proved elusive. Could their upgraded Prestige version deliver?

Over 10 years of sex toy manufacturing experience combined with an enviable database of around 150,000 reviews has led to a product developer’s wet dream. Add in the immediate transfer of 2D design to onsite 3D printing for a ‘real time feel test’, and in pursuit of ‘ultimate sexual pleasure’, Lovehoney have developed a range of high-end toys worthy of their experience and resources.

At first glance things look promising: the Prestige Loops are significantly meatier than their predecessor, the conductive rubber tubing thicker to better grip the penis. A new feature enables the 2mm socket to be embedded within the chunky choke, which Electrastim claims, “creates a lower resistance path through the rubber which allows the user to experience the full intensity…of electro-play.” So far, so good.

A perfect example of this is the Desire Rechargeable Magic Wand®, which combines the gravitas of a Doxy with the settings and luxury silicone feel of a Lelo product. Well, almost. It’s certainly super-strong like the Doxy (potentially providing too much stimulation for some), and is similarly heavy on the wrists. Because it’s powerful it’s loud too, so not great if you’re living in shared accommodation.

The choke itself is anodized aluminium and looks super-classy in silver, gold or red, with a matching pin tucked inside the end of the loop to stop it sliding out during use. This is a really clever touch when it comes to aftercare, as you simply remove the pin to slip the rubber tubing back through the choke and give the length a proper wash.

But rather incredibly given said power, the Desire Magic Wand® is also rechargeable, so if cabin weight isn’t an issue, with its in-built travel-lock setting you can take it anywhere without fear of being rumbled. Here, the Lelo-lux angle is covered by the inclusion of a soft, faux-leather storage case, which you can lock if you buy a mini padlock. Most cleverly, along with the rest of the Desire range, the toy can be charged inside its case, out of sight of prying eyes.

ElectraStim

Lovehoney

Sliding one ElectraLoop around my testicles and another at the base of my shaft to complete the circuit, I coat electro-conductive gel around the rubber tubing of both Loops and switch on the stimulator handset: you should only turn on the controller after your electro-sex products are in place. Beginners will need to experiment to find a position and stimulator setting that works for them. Meanwhile, more experienced users will know that one unipolar ElectraLoop combined with a unipolar butt plug (or maybe even an ElectraPad placed strategically on your partner’s most delicate body-part) contribute to complete a circuit that might just blow your mind. Since I have a dual handset and four polar possibilities, in search of the ultimate HFO, I decide to rack up the power. Both ElectraLoops in place, and with two polars left with which to play, I have a choice between my Bi-Polar Jack Socket cock-in-a-can type Stroker or the Bi-Polar G-Spot Nona Probe. As I’m pondering this pleasant conundrum my wife decides she wants in on the action: the ElectraLoops have made my erection so hard even I’m impressed with myself!

www.electrastim.com 48

With a myriad of different vibration settings, the Desire Magic Wand® is great for avoiding the damaging clitoral numbness of many wands that offer only a constant rumble at different strengths. Since the weight is centered in the head, the Desire Wand is perfect for body massaging, but for those who like to play low and long with the pudendum, again the heavy head may only serve to intensify an already too-strong sensation. Then again, the clit-crushing effect is also the reason Wands are so popular for power queens. It’s worth noting that Lovehoney’s Desire Wand needs a good solid three hours charge before first use. With unbeatable access to customer feedback, and an equally resourceful in-house design team running the gamut from product conception through testing to quality control with no outsourcing necessary, luxury or otherwise, Lovehoney’s own-brand products are likely to prove peerless.

Kink Tug Nipple Clips

Zoro Knight

Grace

Peter

Both Doc Johnson and Kink.com are well known and respected names in this industry, so their announcement of a collaborative series of sex toys and fetish items was met with much excitement. The series is designed to be suitable for both beginners and experienced kink users, and features a huge range of items from dildos to electro-play wands. Amongst these is an assortment of nipple clips, all featuring different traits. There is one that creates suction, another that uses clover-style clips, and even one that has tweezer clips that also attach to the user’s clitoris. I was sent the Tug set for review, which special feature is its weight.

This is another quality item from the team at Perfect Fit Brand. I’ve always been impressed by their gear, I think it comes from designing, using, testing, refining and simply having a company philosophy of only bringing out great product that really enhances your sensations and activity. The Zoro Knight is smaller version of the Armour Knight . This is a 6 inch (15 cm), hollow, clear strap-on that really kicks it. It’s the best I’ve ever used.

DOC JOHNSON

Perfect Fit Brand

The Tug Nipple Clips certainly live up to their claim of being high quality, and a lot of care has clearly gone into their design. The clips themselves are alligator-style, and can be adjusted to create a looser or tighter fit. They feature red silicone tips that contain both the Doc Johnson and Kink.com logo. This ensures that they won’t slip off, as well giving some colour to the set. The chains and weight both feel nice to the touch, although as you can imagine are quite heavy. The weight comes in at 81 g (.18 lb), while the chain itself is 64cm (25”) and weighs 115 g (.25 lb). Thankfully the weight can be easily removed since it is attached with a spring clip. It has been a few years since I last used nipple clips, so at this point I consider myself a beginner. Despite the claims that these toys are newbie friendly I was still nervous to try them, but upon doing so I quickly found I had nothing to worry about. While they certainly do their job, I don’t find them too overwhelming or extreme, and am able to put them on relatively easily. The clips themselves definitely cause some initial pain, and the weight adds to this even more, but in the right scenario this can certainly turn into pleasure. I have found the clips also stay on extremely well, and even during play I have had no issues with them slipping off. Having these clips placed on you whilst being restrained or dominated is a thrilling sensation I have very much enjoyed, and the strength of the clips and silicone tips means your partner can tug on them without worry. As such, I believe these would be the perfect addition to anyone’s kink or BDSM scene toy-kit, whether you are a long-term kink practitioner or a beginner.

The packaging is ideal. The magnetic window lid enables us to view the item and statements on the box, indicate, like all in the Zoro series, that it can be used by both male and female. That’s right, it has a hollow tunnel for the penis enabling him to be bigger in girth and length during penetration but she can also wear this Zoro and peg her favourite pal. The Zoro series feature a hollow opening under the device allow either vaginal play or full access to the cock and balls. This hollow Knight unit is also perfect for Erective Dysfunction (ED) as the penis can be flaccid inside the hollow tunnel or hang loose outside. Oh yes, double penetration, guy on girl, also works a treat. The one-piece moulded strap on is made from PF Blend which is a blend of silicone and TPR and is ultra-smooth to touch, in fact, you don’t want to take your hands off it. It is lightweight, yet sturdy not flimsy. The one-piece mould means it fits just like your favourite underwear and its extremely easy to put on and off. The one piece construction disperses all thrusting energy off your genitals into your pelvis for more control and superior comfort. Zoro Knight is supplied with one broad, elasticized, waistband that fits a 30-52 inch (76-130cm) waist and it clips on and off, with press studs, in around 30 seconds and is adjustable. It’s also super sexy to wear. The fit was fine and very comfortable, and the broad and very cool black, elastic waistband was just right for me. With some water based lubricant the insertion was enjoyable for all and the 4 cm diameter and 15cm length was a comfortable size and nonthreatening for her. The strap-on stayed glued to my pelvic region and didn’t wiggle about during penetration or withdrawal, it felt like a part of me. I had full control over Zoro Knight, totally hands free, at all times. Zoro is an amazing strap on and comes highly recommended- I can’t fault it, the price tag is premium, but oh so worth it!
