Chapter 11: Blowing Shit Up With The Michael Bay of Business

Founder of Make Love Not Porn, Cindy Gallop, joins Sparkle On to display why she is one of the most outspoken and innovative voices in sex tech. Business Insider named her one of 15 Most Important Marketing Strategy Thinkers Today, alongside Malcolm Gladwell and Seth Godin, and cited her as number 33 on their list of 100 Most Influential Tech Women On Twitter. In 2009, her TED talk about her direct personal experience of dating younger men and technology’s impact on our sex lives went viral — announcing the launch of the social sex tech platform, which is pro-sex, pro-porn, pro-knowing the difference designed to promote good sexual behavior and good sexual values.

With her passion and purpose to have representations of real-world sex, Gallop expresses the impact Make Love Not Porn has to end rape culture, create closer relationships, and display the vulnerability in men. Gallop shares, “More men write us grateful emails than anybody else because we are something unique that men will find nowhere else on the internet, which is a safe space where men can be and watch other men being open, emotional, and vulnerable around sex.” Gallop and her team at Make Love Not Porn are changing the sex education landscape and the ways people claim their bodies on the internet.
