BERLIN, DE—Adult content producer Lustery will be launching a Saint Valentine's Day campaign on Feb. 12 through its social media to urge its viewers to take part in non-performative, mindful sex, under the hashtag #SlowSex.
Lustery, which markets itself as an inclusive platform for couples around the world to share their intimate videos in a safe manner, has joined forces with "slow sex couple" Kate & Chris Marley, and is suggesting that people focus on pleasure-centered sex instead of the performative sex that is pornography's stock in trade. In contrast to what many people think, porn can be a medium for depicting sensuality and tender intimacy.
Knowing that people feel stressed not only by the pandemic but also by the rough sex and performance-driven actions they see in many porn videos, Lustery wants to use pornography as a tool for healing each person's sex life. For Saint Valentine's Day, the Marley's produced a video that depicts how taking one's time and consciously enjoying each and every touch can cultivate a deeper intimacy.
"By openly sharing our relationship, we hope that it inspires intimacy, more love, and a stronger connection amongst relationships across the world," said the Marleys.
Lustery's co-founder Paulita Pappel said, "Mainstream media offers a very limited understanding of what sexuality can be in a relationship. At Lustery, we want to showcase different ways of looking at and enjoying sex with your partner. Porn can be an instrument to offer depictions of affection and closeness between partners beyond clichés or acrobatic performances."
"We are regular people just like everyone else and share a similar story to many people who follow us. The only difference is that we felt our connection stood apart from anything we had ever seen in any media or in the people around us and we felt called to share it," said the Marleys. "Our mission is to show the world what true love and a healthy relationship actually looks like ... sex and all."
On Feb. 12th, Lustery will release its interview with Kate & Chris on YouTube and Instagram. To see the full video or to gift some love, a link to the Lustery gift card is here.
