A company selling sex toys has just unveiled “The Second Coming”, a recycling scheme allowing people to send their old dildos in to be reused. There has been a 224% surge in searches for the “recycling scheme” between April 2022-23.

In honor of World Environment Day on 5th June, the Natural Love Company has launched an e-waste recycling process, which involves breaking down electronic devices into component parts. These metals, plastics, and circuit boards will be sent to specialized facilities where they can be reused in new products.

The company will accept sex toys from any brand, while their own products are made from 100% recycled ocean plastic. Ben Foster, co-founder, and director, said they were “delighted” to introduce The Second Coming and wanted to do their part in reducing the volume of products that end up in landfills.

LiveJasmin, the award-winning live cam site renowned for its pioneering role in virtual dating and its commitment to sexual health research, has partnered with the esteemed Kinsey Institute to conduct a series of innovative studies exploring the effects of virtual dating through live cam services on sexual health and mental wellbeing. The first study in this series, which surveyed over 5,000 LiveJasmin users, has been released by the Kinsey Institute and unveils intriguing insights into how virtual dating can foster sexual knowledge, communication, and confidence.

Among the more than 5,000 users who participated in the survey, over 80% have been using LiveJasmin for longer than two years. The findings are particularly noteworthy: over 60% of respondents reported learning something new about their own sexuality or the opposite gender’s sexuality through virtual dating on the platform, while 30% acknowledged becoming better sexual partners as a result of their interactions on the site. Nearly all participants emphasized the importance of establishing a personal connection with good chemistry to enhance intimacy, and reported increased levels of self-confidence in their sex lives.

Dr. Amanda N. Gesselman, Associate Director for Research at the Kinsey Institute, and her research team conducted the study. “Live cam sites like LiveJasmin offer a unique environment where openness and vulnerability are the norm, which contrasts starkly with the expectations people face in their daily lives, particularly men. Our results reveal significant growth and learning in sexual knowledge, including how to be a better sexual partner to women and how to navigate sexual consent.”

Károly Papp, Co-Founder & Director, said, “This study highlights the crucial role of open communication in sexual relationships and how being able to discuss anything with your partner leads to greater self-confidence. LiveJasmin’s primary focus has always been the ‘human connection’ aspect of live camming, which is why our users prefer our service over adult videos. The ability to connect and talk to a model provides a more meaningful and satisfying experience for viewers.”

It’s no secret that TikTok is full of videos that are seemingly innocent but are actually disguised as fetish content. From bizarre life hacks to footage of someone being tied up, these videos reflect what some people find erotic. What’s more, these videos are being watched by children, which is the minimum age requirement for the app.

Foot fetishists, food fetishists, and those fascinated by messiness have all found a home on TikTok. While the platform does not allow videos that depict sexual fetishes, the definition of what constitutes a sexual fetish can be blurry.

Videos that appear to show a spray-on tattoo application, or a bride cutting a bridesmaid’s dress, can appear to be harmless but are actually porn for someone. To spot hidden fetish videos, we can think back to Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s famous phrase: “I know it when I see it.”

Videos that feature cheesy soundtracks, leering camera angles, and an excessive buildup to an anticlimactic reveal are all signs of potential fetish content. Foot fetish videos are particularly popular, with videos showing people giving foot massages and stepping on gross items. Food fetishism is also prevalent, with videos featuring feeding fetishes and weird recipes.

Sploshing is another popular fetish involving someone being covered in a messy substance, such as food, mud, slime, or paint. Although it’s unclear what kind of effect this content may have on children, it’s worth noting that it’s out there and being watched. Letting people who will do anything for views potentially influence the psyches of our youth is a dangerous experiment that we’re conducting on humanity.
