The Lovense Pedobaiting Scandal Shined A Light On A Serious Problem With Influencer Life

As many people know, I worked in porn for a hot minute. In fact, most of my closest friends are still in porn—either as directors, editors, journalists, porn stars, or publicists. It’s actually wild how many people there are part of my life.
So, needless to say, my Twitter feed is constantly filled with porn news. There’s always a scandal or two out being discussed, but I was shocked to find out where the latest scandal was targeted: Lovense.
Lovense is not having a good time right now.
Lovense is one of the biggest names in sex toys, primarily because they have one of the strongest holds on the world of influencer marketing. The company has its fingers in multiple major streaming services and camsites.
Of course, you may have recognized them from the influencers they have touting their goods on YouTube. Hell, even I’ve been asked to cover their toys and apps for an old employer. Saying they’re a sex toy juggernaut is an understatement.
You might be wondering what Lovense managed to do to cause an uproar.
Well, I’m going to show you.
