🚀 Sexual Health Censored: Deutsche Bahn Refuses Womanizer's Masturbation Month Campaign This May, in recognition of International Masturbation Month, Womanizer aimed to shed light on the often-overlooked health benefits of masturbation. With a bold digital campaign planned for five major Berlin train stations, Womanizer sought to educate the public about how self-pleasure can improve sleep quality and reduce stress. Despite the scientific backing and the modern approach to self-care, Deutsche Bahn denied the campaign. This decision underscores the ongoing stigma surrounding sexual health topics. Verena Singmann, Head of PR at Lovehoney Group, expressed disappointment: "It's frustrating to see essential discussions about sexual health and education still facing censorship. In today's world, where quality sleep is hard to come by, we wanted to offer a healthy alternative to sleeping aids. It's a shame this message wasn't embraced despite the scientific support." As we continue to break down barriers and challenge outdated taboos, campaigns like this one are crucial in promoting a healthier, more informed society. 🛠️ #SexualHealth #Education #MasturbationMay #SelfCare #WomanizerCampaign

The Olympics Are Coming... And We Want To Lube Them Up The Olympic Games are a celebration of the peak performance of the human body – something that we as the sexual happiness people can wholeheartedly relate to! With the world watching as Paris 2024 draws nearer, we would love to show our support for this stellar global event in our own way – by enriching the happiness and sexual health of those involved.  Since the 1988 Olympic Games hosted in Seoul, South Korea, the Olympic Committee has been providing athletes in the Olympic village with free condoms, a vital, health-forward and sex-positive gesture – and this year, Lovehoney are extending an offer that, surely, nobody could refuse? Lovehoney is offering a generous quantity of our high-quality water-based lubricant to the Olympic village to ensure that athletes can have safe – and most importantly, enjoyable – sex and pleasure in 2024.  Lovehoney’s CEO Johannes Plettenberg stated in an open letter to Laurent Michaud, Director of the Olympic and Paralympic Village:  “By providing both condoms and lubricant, we can further support the well-being of all athletes, ensuring they have the resources they need to enjoy intimate moments to their fullest, safely and comfortably.  This proposal is extended with the utmost respect for the athletes and the spirit of the Games. We believe in supporting peak performance, both on the field and in more private moments, with a touch of humor to lighten the mood in the highly competitive atmosphere of the Olympics.”  

Tens of thousands of people with cancer are ‘suffering in silence’ with concerns around sex. We know cancer impacts people in many ways, be it financially, emotionally, or physically. But we need to talk about how cancer can affect our relationships and sex lives. That’s why we’re so proud to be partnering with UK based charity Macmillan Cancer Support to shine a light on the impact cancer can have on people’s sexual wellbeing and to encourage those impacted to have open conversations and access support. As part of our collaboration, we have launched a new content series called We Need To Talk About Sex and Cancer. The series will feature people from across the UK sharing their unique experiences with sex, relationships and intimacy, following a cancer diagnosis. In the first instalment of our series, we meet Ellie (22), who was diagnosed with cancer at just 14. We’re incredibly proud and grateful to her for sharing her experience. #WeNeedToTalkAboutCancer #CSR #CorporateSocialResponsibility #BrandPartnership #SexualWellness #SexualHealth

At Lovehoney, we love to promote sexual happiness – so we were overjoyed when streaming giant Netflix visited our Berlin office to film behind the scenes footage of our SexTech campus! Season 3 of the show Risqué Business was released yesterday, including the episode featuring Womanizer which aims to help destigmatize female masturbation and encourage women all over the world to explore their sensuality. The Risqué Business hosts joined us in Berlin for the launch party of our new flagship toy, Womanizer Next – and to chat with us about how Womanizer has helped millions of women across the globe experience new orgasmic heights. The celebration was doubly special for us because this year also marks 10 years of Womanizer – and we couldn’t have been happier to share our experiences with Netflix. We learned a lot from each other and it was a great honor to show the Risqué Business crew around our office, sharing ideas, innovations – and a few celebratory drinks, too! Lovehoney would like to extend a massive thank you to both the team at Studio Modak and the great team on our end who helped make this magical experience happen. These two photos really capture our team's spirit of collaboration and celebration – from the Wrap Party to yesterday’s Berlin office Netflix Watch Party!

Lovehoney-Style Sex Ed in London: Our attention-grabbing billboards stand out against the red buses & black cabs For the past few years at Lovehoney Group we've had a campaign around sex education at this time of year and in the UK this year it coincides with Sexual Health Week 2023 (11th-17th September). To be part of this important conversation, we undertook a nationwide study in the UK that revealed that 1 in 6 people rate their sex education as… ‘terrible’! Most sex education focuses on sexual health (40% of respondents saying they learned this) and contraception (39%), while almost completely omitting topics like pleasure (just 6%). From the study, we identified a number of popular sex (education) myths, which we are debunking through a series of five expert videos (link in the comments) and four provocative billboards that can be spotted across London over the next few weeks. Some other findings from our study include: - More than a third of men learn about sex from pornography - Two in five people have also tried to imitate something they’ve seen in porn - TikTok is the fourth most popular sex education resource for 18–24-year-olds, while school only comes in sixth place - People in the UK rate their sex education as 4.8/10 on average - Three in ten people have performed a sex act they felt uncomfortable with Once the barriers to talking about sex openly are removed, it's easier to learn what one does and doesn't like, making their individual journey to sexual happiness (that we have the tools - and toys for!) - a smoother one. We've already had some press pick up (link in the comments) from Huffington Post and are expecting more this week as Sexual Health Week kicks off properly. Massive shoutout to the people who made this campaign possible: Calum McCloskey, Nele Wolfer, Alexis Smiley Smith,Ryan Newman, Roy Aza, Rebecca G., and everyone else involved. Your dedication and expertise are driving us closer to making sexual education more comprehensive and accessible for all.
