As an industry that has nearly tripled in size in the last three years, the future for sex toys is seemingly bright. With an influx of brands emerging and toy use becoming less stigmatised and more commonplace, we explore how the world of sex toys is rapidly changing. 

 

 

Lora DiCarlo shares how one mind-blowing orgasm led her to found her namesake company. 

 

 

Changing the way we think about sex toy design, industrial designer and Professor, Judith Glover shares her experience creating toys that put people’s pleasure at the centre. 

 

 

We also discuss how despite the growth and demand for sex toys, many barriers and discrimination exist against toy companies.

From increasing pleasure for those with disabilities to the orgasm gap, this episode explores how toys are so much more than a novelty or added extra.
