July 14, 2010 — LOS ANGELES, Calif. — PAPAYA Toys was
honored at the 3rd Annual “O” Awards when AVN announced the
winner of the Outstanding Innovation, was in fact, PAPAYA Toys’
very own “Reversible Battery Pack.”

In January, PAPAYA Toys launched the new and unique novelty line at the AVN Adult Enter-tainment Expo with the tag line “It’s Good To Be Different” and is quickly proving they are a leading force in the design of cutting edge products. Since it’s debut, the PAPAYA line has re-ceived a phenomenal response for manufacturing the highest quality pleasure products on the market today, while keeping the cost to the retailers and consumers at a fair price. Coupled with the principles of social responsibility and planet friendly practices, PAPAYA Toys is quickly set-ting the standard in the pleasure products industry.

“I want to thank AVN, and the voting committee for this amazing award,” says Holger Theisen, of PAPAYA Toys HK. “The ‘O’ Award for Outstanding Innovation is a reminder for all us at PA-PAYA Toys that we are moving in the right direction. It is also motivation to constantly pursue new ideas and to reduce design to the maximum of form and function.”

Pamela McKee, aka Papaya Pam, of PAPAYA Toys US adds, “I love this industry and am proud to be part of a brand that stands for superior quality, innovation and fairness. A new era in pleas-ure products is emerging and this award symbolizes that PAPAYA Toys is leading the way!”

PAPAYA Toys are German engineered and manufactured in Asia. Each of the products―the Rainbow, the Tattoo, the Candy Stick and the Turtle―is crafted from 100 percent medical-grade
silicone from U.S. suppliers and completely waterproof. PAPAYA Toys continues to receive rave reviews and appeals to consumers worldwide as the demand for socially and environmentally responsible pleasure products continues to increase. Slated to hit the states July 20, PAPAYA Toys has pre-sold almost two-thirds of its first U.S. production run.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Aug. 2, 2011) – Sssh.com, the erotica and sexuality website designed and maintained for women by women, is expert at feeding women’s sensual appetites. But as women, the staff, contributors and members realize the distaff side of humanity is much more than the sum of erogenous zones. That’s why Sssh.com has embarked upon a new philanthropic initiative to help women feed their hearts and souls, as well.

Beginning in August, Sssh.com will donate a percentage of monthly revenue to charitable organizations serving worthy causes worldwide. Each organization will be chosen based on a commitment to excellence, accomplishment of stated goals and ratio of funds distribution (direct application to the cause vs. administrative expense). The list of potential beneficiaries includes social, medical and environmental charities that get little attention and deserve so much more. Some are large associations known for touching lives in positive ways. Others are small but cutting-edge research foundations determined to cure debilitating diseases. Still others are cultural and community outreach programs devoted to enriching lives.

Sssh.com’s members will select each month’s beneficiary, giving women a voice in ensuring dollars go where they will do the most good.

“There’s nothing that feeds the spirit quite as much as offering assistance and comfort where we can, in whatever form we can. Here at Sssh.com, we believe in supporting worthy causes and invite the members of our community to participate in helping us choose the charity we support each month,” says founder and owner Angie Rowntree.

Each month, the Sssh.com staff will select one charity in each of five categories: Arts and Culture, Medical and Health Research, Animal Advocacy and Protection, Community and Social Outreach, and Environmental Research and Protection. Votes from the Sssh.com community will determine the charity to receive that month’s donation. The following month, five new charitable organizations will be submitted for members’ votes. August’s nominees, respectively, are the Australian Ballet, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (U.S.), the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, Doctors Without Borders (headquartered in France) and Andigena (Venezuela).

“As Sssh.com has members from all over the world, we’ve included charities from many of the countries where our members reside,” Rowntree says. “We’re always interested in hearing about causes not already on our list. Organizations and foundations that would like to be included may email us at editor@sssh.com.”

Each month’s beneficiary will be announced at the beginning of the following month.

About Sssh.com
Sssh.com offers an extensive, evolving source of information and entertainment from bold and brassy to tender and traditional.

Because no woman is an island, Sssh.com embodies a community where women can relax, enjoy, learn and feel good about being sexual, sensual beings without sacrificing personal ethics. Sssh.com encourages each member to approach her journey at her own pace: Content is arranged by levels, each clearly annotated with its degree of explicitness. After all, women may be curious about what a guy has, but they’re more interested in discovering how he uses it.

Don’t settle for misinformation, half-truths and suspicion. Be informed.

No matter where you fall on the vast spectrum of opinions about ICANN’s latest Top Level Domain, you owe it to yourself and your business to get the facts. Should you buy a dot-xxx domain? What could happen to your brand if you don’t? Are there as-yet-unrevealed benefits to dot-xxx ownership? Liabilities? How much will the darn things cost, anyway? And what’s all this hullaballoo about “responsible business practices?”

On Saturday, June 25, from 1 p.m. until no questions remain, YNOT Summit will present a very special up-close-and-personal look at dot-xxx. Far from the run-of-the-mill panel discussion trade show attendees have endured ad nauseum since 2005, “Pros and Cons of Dot-xxx” will blend rational discussion with audience participation, allowing attendees to pose their most pressing questions directly to some of the new domain space’s most ardent champions … and some of its biggest skeptics. Moderator M.Christian will preside over a balanced consideration of both sides, including some surprising revelations. Scheduled participants include YNOT Group LLC President Connor Young, veteran industry journalist and AVN Senior Editor Tom Hymes, attorney Eric M. Bernstein and ICM Registry Sales Director Vaughn Liley. Audience participation is strongly encouraged.

“A lot of people are trying to decide what dot-xxx means for their business,” Young said. “This presentation will give everyone the details they need to make an informed decision, whichever way they decide to go. The expert panel is diverse, and we’ve all agreed to limit the amount of bloodletting on the stage to a minimum.”

Added Liley, “With the launch of the registry less than 80 days away, I look forward to informing community members of the benefits of dot-xxx names and how and when to apply for them.”

“Obviously, I’m very pleased,” said Hypnotic Dreams’ owner Daniel A, who
authored and voiced the audio story for women. “We truly stand out among
the nominees for outstanding innovation. This is the only product
nominated for the category that is specifically created with the intent
to directly stimulate the subconscious mind, quite possibly the most
erotic organ in the human body.”

“The Ultimate Kiss” also stands out as the only nominee for outstanding
innovation that is not a sex toy, vibrator, or related to a sex toy or
vibrator.

The product combines Ericksonian hypnosis (story telling) with NLP
(neuro-linguistic programming), to help women discover their own
pleasure and emotional satisfaction in performing fellatio. The
seductive erotic audio story is created with tones and rhythms that
induce a hypnotic state. As the story continues, the listener hears
hypnotic suggestions crafted to heighten fantasies about fellatio
sexually connecting with her partner through fellatio, and to experience
greater pleasure while performing the act..

“The Ultimate Kiss” is available on CD through Amazon.com and as a
downloadable MP3 at www.HypnoticDreams.com. An excerpt of “The Ultimate
Kiss” can be found at
www.HypnoticDreams.com/for-women/ultimate-kiss.html.

About Hypnotic Dreams:
Hypnotic Dreams is run by the reclusive Daniel A, an author in
Michigan who writes, narrates, and produces hypnotic audio stories for
personal enjoyment. Titles by Hypnotic Dreams are available on
Amazon.com. Oysters and Chocolate calls his work “Powerful and very
enjoyable.” Ottimo Massimo of Fleshbot says “Hypnotic Dreams definitely
has some sexiness going on.”

The Exodus Trust announces a private anonymous, magnificent gift to be presented at the Erotic Heritage Museum. A team of erotic art experts is working with the staff of the museum to get the collection ready for the grand opening fundraiser and celebration on July 9th.

Tickets for the opening event will be $25 and will include a special reception, refreshments, raffles, gifts and an opportunity to meet the many people responsible in presenting this great collection.

This is the first showing of what Museum Curator, Dr. Ted McIlvenna, says is the most significant private collection he has ever seen. Ted says, “The Aphrodite Collection is one man’s statement of what he has seen in his lifetime as a constant celebration of the images of sex. The collection is a statement of a man with a great erotic eye.”

Dr. Rand McIlvenna, Museum Media Director and the person responsible for the packing and the long delivery drive across the country in a truck carrying over 3000 precious erotic items says, “I was amazed by the quality and variety of the art pieces. The bronze pieces, as well as, the incredible walking cane collection of ivories are magnificent.”

Here is what the other museum staff says about the collection, each from their own unique perspective:

“This collection truly celebrates and explores the female form in its entirety with an amazing attention to detail. It’s rare that you find such a complete collection with one central focus.”
Dorian Gomez, Art Director and Resident Curator

“The broad range of topics found in the new collection, including many educational books, will benefit the museum and the community, increasing our resources and improving our ability for people to expand their sexual knowledge.”
Dr. Amanda Morgan, Event Coordinator and Director of Sexological Education

“This collection shows so much passion for the female form and erotica!! There are so many books on adult cinema and its stars. The historical art and the fine art bronzes are amazing. I really enjoy the kitschy part of the collection – it represents how we as a culture deal with sexuality – mostly by making fun of it!”
Jane Hamilton/Veronica Hart, Associate Curator of Erotic Folklore and Director of New Media

“Serious inquiry not only into the mind of the collector of this living encyclopedia of erotica, as well as the exploration of eros in multiple forms, can be found for the sexual and historical researcher in this show. Highly recommended.”
Dr. Victoria R. Austin, Associate Director of Academics and Continuing Education

And finally, summed up by a museum library volunteer who said, “What an erotic adventure. I just want to look and learn.”

Now is an opportunity for the people of Las Vegas to join with erotic art enthusiasts from around the country to work together to make the museum one we all can be proud of. A museum that has something for everyone and everybody’s sexual interest and a place for scholars, art experts and just plain people who like sex to get together around a common interest.

Media and attendees to EXXXOTICA Los Angeles may find more information at http://LA.eXXXoticaExpo.com.

While only its first year, the Chicago expo is already gearing up to be one of EXXXOTICA’s largest. Historically, media buzz surrounding a first-year event is always strong, and Chicago is the third biggest media market in the country. Exhibitor spots are filling up quick, as market research shows the anticipated Chicago crowd of attendees to be cash-in-hand and eager to purchase. Already ticket sales to the expo have exceeded expectations.

“We are extremely excited to introduce EXXXOTICA to the community of Chicago,” said J. Handy, Director of Victory Tradeshow Management. “Much like our annual show in New Jersey, we expect exhibitors to do great business, while introducing attendees to the sexiest new products on the market.”

EXXXOTICA, presented by HotMovies.com is a sexy mix of celebrities, stage shows, seminars and exhibitors. Among the many confirmed adult stars for the Chicago show are Jenna Haze, Ron Jeremy, Alexis Texas, Joanna Angel, Teagan Presley and more. Performing on stage are hip-hop legends 2 Live Crew, as well as Blood Ties (who will be performing their hit “Booty Dip” among other tracks), the Pretty Things Peepshow, RubberDoll and other great musical and burlesque acts. In addition, experts in areas of romance, sex, health, sociology and law host over 50 hours of informative and entertaining seminars. Dispersed throughout the expo are erotic exhibitors like HotMovies.com, plus booths featuring products for fitness, pleasure, technology, entertainment and more.

Another key feature implemented in Chicago as well as all other EXXXOTICA events in 2011 is “Ladies Free Friday”, which allows women free entrance to the event on the first day of every show. This promotion, which was unveiled in 2010, has been an overwhelming success and dramatically increased both female attendance and exhibitor retail sales. New to the site this year is the “For the Ladies” section. The ongoing blog features daily updates regarding EXXXOTICA’s numerous female allures, such as the male dance revue.

Windy City residents also have the opportunity to upgrade to the popular VIP program, which includes free DVDs, messenger bags, t-shirts and admission to the exclusive VIP lounge as well as complimentary entrance to all official EXXXOTICA After Parties. Inside the lounge is a cash bar, sexy dancers, amazing giveaways, after-party information and much more, and the after parties include amazing entertainment and the biggest stars in adult.

Exhibitors interested in securing booth space and sponsorship for the EXXXOTICA Expo in Chicago or Los Angeles should contact Victory Tradeshow Management at info@vtshows.com or call (215) 462-8800. Many more exhibitors, attending stars and events will be announced soon.

For the first time, the adult internet industry trade show will host the Summit Games, during which participants can make valuable business connections in a game-show atmosphere. The two events in the series, “Best Industry Stories” and “Two Truths and a Lie,” not only will help virtual strangers connect, but also award several lucky winners prizes provided by Summit Games sponsor Stockroom.com.

During “Best Industry Stories,” scheduled for Friday afternoon, participants will vie for bragging rights and prizes by topping their peers with strange-but-true tales from the adult industry trenches. On Saturday, participants in “Two Truths and a Lie” will attempt to stump other players by jumbling fact and fantasy and hoping they don’t get caught. A bar will be close at hand during both events.

“We are thrilled to add Summit Games to the schedule for YNOT Summit 2011,” said Connor Young, president of parent company YNOT Group LLC. “We wanted to really beef up the networking opportunities in San Francisco as a complement to our excellent lineup of classes and seminars. The Summit Games are all about having fun and forging new relationships. They are an opportunity to socialize in a relaxed environment and learn more about other attendees, which hopefully will lead to more new deals for everyone. Plus, thanks to Stockroom.com, some of the participants are going to walk away with some pretty wicked prizes.”

Networking opportunities abound during the three-day show. FTVCash will host a lounge from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, allowing summit attendees to relax and make deals. A “speed networking” session will take place from 12:45 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, followed by the ever-popular, industry trendsetting “Show & Sell” marketplace from 3-6 p.m. On Friday, 2000Charge will host a cocktail reception from 6-8 p.m., offering attendees free drinks and a reason to chill with new friends.

Launched in 1997 as Cybernet Expo, YNOT Summit is the longest-running adult industry event designed to address the specific needs of online adult entertainment professionals.
