SEATTLE—Passionate Playground LLC, makers of the patented storage system Joyboxx + Playtray, announced its products are featured in the first episode of Sex Probz, a groundbreaking online series produced by New York Magazine's standalone website The Cut.
The show follows sex educators Francisco Ramirez and Lola as they solve a range of diverse problems New Yorkers face in the bedroom, including sex toys and interior decorating tips to create a more joyous sex life.
In the first episode, "I'm Disabled. How Can I Improve My Sex Life?” Francisco and Lola visit Mira Mariah in Brooklyn. Mira is a tattoo artist (who has inked Ariana Grande), a mom to a 4-year-old and a below-knee amputee who is on a mission to enhance her sex life as she navigates a small living space, her disability and chronic pain.
The hosts video chat with Disability and Sexuality Educator Robin Wilson-Beattie, who says, “The thing about chronic pain, is you have to acknowledge you may not be able to be as spontaneous as you would like to be about sexuality.”
Francisco and Robin give Mira premium adult products to help her with spontaneity including; a Liberator Throw, Joyboxx + Playtray antimicrobial locking storage system, Dam® Pillo and Unbound wearable handcuffs and massage ring.
“This is a peak moment for Joyboxx to reach thousands of people in such a prestigious media outlet,” Semer said. “Now everyone can really spark the joy inside! I spent five years helping the amputee ward at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where I met my future investor, Jillian Murphy. So helping people with mobility challenges protect their passion is a topic very close to our hearts!
“The timing has been wild. We almost sold out of Joyboxx globally during a factory change when Sex Probz producer, Samantha Lee contacted us because she couldn't find a Joyboxx in New York,” Semer continued. “I was standing in the new factory making them, so shipped one to her, literally hot off the press!”
The video series first six episodes will be released each Tuesday and hopes to be picked up by a streaming service.
“We felt that the media landscape lacked content that covered sexual pleasure and sexual health in a smart, funny, compelling and educational way,” said show producer Lee. “Sex Probz, hopefully, fills that gap and paves the path for more honest, helpful videos in this sphere.”
