SXSW 2020
Sex Tech Unleashed
Description:
The conversation around sex tech and equal access to sexual health and wellness products has REALLY started to heat up this year. Between Dame taking NYC’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority to court for refusing to post ads, and Instagram/Facebook shadowing banning and not letting anything having to do with vaginas and pleasure advertise, as well as CES pulling Lora DiCarlo’s Innovation Award and banning them from the convention only to give the award back after a media blitz— the landscape for these kinds of companies should be looking bleak. But in fact, the opposite is happening. With each company’s setback, against all odds, the market seems to just be getting stronger and the conversation louder? What is powering this sextech tsunami?
