Nowadays, what I see is that there are quite a lot of chaos in the adult erotic products industry, such as bad money driving out good money, vicious price wars, false propaganda, etc., which harms the interests of all the companies that are serious about what they do.
So we advocate all practitioners in the industry, including competitors, distributors, media: the reputation of the industry, need to be guarded by each and every one of us.
Here’s a clear look at the problems we face and the solutions we propose:
Industry Pain Points | Our Proposed Solutions |
Adverse Selection: Low-quality, unsafe products flood the market at low prices, pushing out ethical manufacturers. | Initiative 1: Establish a non-negotiable safety baseline with 100% body-safe materials and full transparency. |
Negative Stigma: Vulgar and unprofessional marketing reinforces stereotypes, alienating customers and limiting growth. | Initiative 2: Embrace positive communication that is respectful, educational, and focused on wellness. |
Innovation Theft: Malicious plagiarism and cheap knockoffs stifle genuine R&D and devalue original design. | Initiative 3: Encourage benign innovation and protect intellectual property to foster healthy competition. |
Initiative 1: A 3-Step Framework for a Non-Negotiable Safety Baseline
Consumer trust begins and ends with safety. It is the absolute foundation of our industry. We propose a simple, powerful framework to make safety a core, non-negotiable value rather than just a regulatory checkbox.
Step 1: Commit to 100% Body-Safe Materials This is our line in the sand. Every brand and factory must pledge to use only materials that are certified body-safe, such as medical-grade silicone, ABS plastic, and borosilicate glass. This commitment means zero tolerance for phthalates, latex, or other harmful additives.
Step 2: Implement Radical Transparency Consumers deserve to know exactly what they are buying. We call for proactive disclosure of all material components, manufacturing standards, and safety certifications. This can be achieved through on-page material lists and accessible links to certification documents, similar to the ecolabeling systems that have earned 83% public support in other sectors.
Step 3: Adopt Rigorous, Proactive Testing Safety isn’t a one-time check. It requires ongoing vigilance. We must invest in rigorous testing protocols and maintain detailed supply chain documentation. As organizations like the Center for Hydrogen Safety emphasize, a true safety culture must be “pervasive throughout the company and everything it does.”
Initiative 2: Shifting from Vulgar Marketing to Positive Communication
How we speak about our products directly shapes public perception. It’s time to abandon shock-value tactics and embrace the language of wellness, health, and positive relationships.
Do This Instead (Positive Communication) | Stop Doing This (Vulgar Marketing) |
Use respectful, elegant, and inclusive language. | Relying on crude, sensationalized, or explicit terms. |
Focus on education, wellness, and empowerment. | Using shock value that reinforces negative stereotypes. |
Position products as tools for personal health & intimacy. | Isolating products in a stigmatized, “adults-only” corner. |
Build authentic connections based on trust and value. | Alienating potential customers with inappropriate messaging. |
By shifting our communication, we don’t just sell products; we destigmatize an entire industry and open the door to mainstream acceptance and healthier conversations about sexuality.
Initiative 3: Championing Benign Innovation Over Malicious Plagiarism
Nothing kills creativity faster than theft. Our industry is rife with copycats who undermine true innovation. We’ve poured our hearts, minds, and resources into developing a unique feature, only to see a cheap knockoff appear weeks later. Believe me, it’s a gut-wrenching feeling that stifles the very spirit of creation.
It’s time to draw a clear line between healthy competition and destructive plagiarism.
Benign Innovation | Malicious Plagiarism |
Goal: To genuinely enhance user experience, safety, and wellbeing through new technology and design. | Goal: To create a cheaper, lower-quality imitation of an existing successful product. |
Investment: Requires significant R&D, user testing, and creative resources. | Investment: Minimal. Focuses on reverse-engineering and cutting costs. |
Outcome: A healthier market with diverse, high-quality choices. Rewards creativity and builds brand loyalty. | Outcome: A flooded market of inferior knockoffs. Devalues innovation and erodes consumer trust. |
We must work together to protect intellectual property and create collaborative networks that reward original thinking. Let’s replace imitation with genuine technological advancement. This is how we create a sustainable innovation model that encourages real investment in R&D.
