"Alexander" and "Chri tmas with the Kranks" B3 B2 Friday, December 3, 2004 ¥ Parties emb ace female sexuality xs as adult toy industry skyrockets BY KIM DIXO Sraf! ReJ>Orler ey ladies, ever find your'e lves wanting to be as sexually liberated as Samantha H Jones? Have Carrie's confidence in the sack? Or maybe you just want to feel eom fo1iable saying " penis" out loud. Whatever yow· level of sexual distress, Pure Romance says it has an answer. From the comfort of their own homes or small {lpartments, women across the country arc educating themselves on sex and all the accessories that come with it. Pure Romance, the leading sex-toy distributor of its ki11d, has become increasingly popular over the last four years, going from a profit of $1.7 mil lion in 2000 to a projected $46.2 million in 2004. It was recently described. in Forbes magazine as "The Party That rashed Retail" and celebrities like . Jessica Simpson are jumping on the bandwagon as well. Pure Romance sends their experienced con sultants to educate women about their bodies and show (yes, show) them how to heighten their sex ual experiences. The educational aspect of the company's pres entation sets it apart from the other businesses in the same area, says Genine Drozd, director of pub lic relations for Pure Romance. " We teach women the who, what, whe.(l, where, why and how aspects of the products," she says. For example, if a 0-spot vibrator is being introduced at a party, the consu ltant wi ll first iden tify where the 0-spot is, what it does, and how to timulate it, Drozd says. Pure Romance is also unique in that it prima rily does business with women. Men are not all owed at parties, Drozd says. "Men have been given all the tools to fmd themselves exuall y," she says, "and now women are getting that opportuni ty." The company does, however, offer their prod ucts to men online and has a fair amount of prod ucts aimed toward male pleasure, like "Tickle His Pickle," the "penis instruction manual." Cu tamers can shop for lotions like "Reveal," a ca lming cream, or "Tickle," an erotic fo t rul;l. They also offer an essence line and instructional materials like "The Complete Manual of Sexual Positions." · Or, if one so chooses, Pure Romance offers a wide an-ay of accessories including feather teasers and handcuffs. Dcnae Mason, a Pure Romance consuhant from St. Albans, N.Y., says one of the most popu lar products ordered is the Sea Lion. Retailing for 48, the seven-setting vibrator is sure to take its users on a pulsating, underwater adventure. Aside fi-o!Tbpurchasing products, the only real way to utilize what the company has to offer is to attend one of their parties. Mason says she usually starts a party with ice breakers - games to get the crowd interested. "They usually like the ex quiz game," he says. "It asks questi ons like, 'Have you ever start ed your motor without him?' and ' Have you ever tried things outdoors?' " The game is played like a lap game with play ers sitting in a circle. For every question answered yes, participants move one seat to the left:, some times sitti11g on a neighbor's lap. The first to return to their original chair wins. After game time, partygoers watch a product demonstration to learn how they work. "They get to sample the lotions and creams," Mason says, "and I'll demonstrate how to work the toys and also how to introduce them to their part ners." Drozd says communication is a big part of the company's approach. "In teaching women about their sexual needs, we also emphasize ways they can put effort back into their relationship as oppo ed to the use of a pill [to make him Ia t longer]," she says. Alex Robboy founder of www.howtohaveg oodsex.com and registered sex therapist, agrees communication is the key ingredient to a healthy relationship. She suggests introducing new ideas slowly. " ouples need to find a way to !inc-tune their like and dislikes," she says. Robboy adm its she is a little waty of ex-tO) parties. see COMPANY page B3 gton' s Red Room BY CHRISTOPHER MOOR week by offering themes that give club-goer · f•·awro·• t'duor the opportunity to expres their unconventional D1sco beats fill the space in between the side by dre sing in military duds r the ever velvet curtatns hangmg from the walls of The available butterfly-collared, wildly-patterned Red Room. hirt for a di co party.
