The company's "DV8 Dare RolePlay Erotic Coupons: Couples Edition" was nominated for a 2021 XBIZ Award as "Adult Game of the Year." "Now more than ever, smaller, more intimate swinger parties are gaining in popularity," a rep explained. "We’ve developed a product that isn’t just a game, but a socially erotic experience for hosts and party guests." "We pride ourselves with pioneering new product concepts," added the rep.

NEW YORK — The Deviate Network, creators of the XBIZ-nominated DV8 Dare line of interactive erotic games for alternative lifestyles, is now introducing a CBD hybrid tailored for swingers. “We were curious to learn more about CBD after a vendor approached us to sell it at one of our events,” said a rep. “After extensive research, we were amazed by the benefits and discovered how different strains had attributes which could potentially enhance our lifestyle.” “As prominent veterans of the alternative lifestyle community, we understand the wants, needs and most importantly, the stress that occasionally comes with the swing lifestyle,” the rep added. The Deviate Network rep explained they “questioned the members that use cannabis as a way to ease their nerves prior to going on a date or attending a swingers party.” “One of the complaints they expressed was the issue of being high while attempting to socialize,” the rep continued. “In some cases, the cannabis high would make them regressive rather than social, which could lead to performance anxiety in men and nervousness in the sexes.” The company invested in Vermont-grown CBD hemp flower in 2019 and added it to their network in late 2020. “After research and consulting with our Vermont farm, we discovered a hybrid mix of uplifting social strain combined with strains for anxiety and stress relief that has all the benefits without the high,” the rep said, adding that they were “excited about the prospects of our new line of CBD products and the help it will bring to the alternative lifestyle community.” The Deviate Network’s DV8 Swingers Vibe and other Vermont-grown CBD hemp products are now available for wholesale and retail distribution through their website.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW YORK — Deviate Network's "DV8 Dare RolePlay Erotic Coupons: Couples Edition" has been nominated for a 2021 XBIZ Award in the "Adult Game of the Year" category. A company rep expressed pride in the recognition for the new edition of the erotic game series. "We've often felt that we needed to create a version of our product line that caters to everyday couples of all sexual orientations looking to spice things up in their relationships," the rep continued. "Role-playing is wildly popular in our modern culture; it stimulates our fantasies and allows us to act them out in a sexual manner. We are excited at the success of this one-of-a-kind adult game." When the company created the "RolePlay" edition, said the rep, "we had no idea how significant it would be in 2020 for couples to be able to play in the safety of their home and still keep a healthy active sex life." "We’re proud of everyone in our industry for everything they’ve endured this year and all of the amazing couples that have connected with us," concluded the rep. "We encourage everyone to stay in and 'RolePay’ and have a safe and prosperous 2021." Visit TheDeviateNetwork.com and DevierBoutique.com for additional details, including information about wholesale and retail distribution.

Dear DV8 "'Hi my partner and I have just started talking with friend of ours about group sex together and I was hoping you might have some advice for first timers?" W. Jones. Dear W. Jones His Take: First off, if neither of you have had experience in the lifestyle you should definitely educate yourselves first. In any case take the time to talk about it first not just in a sexual way but how it might affect your friendships. You wouldn’t want jealousy to be a factor in your relationship. When we first entered the lifestyle, we found several of our close friends were in it as well. We hardly swing with any of them, though we enjoy many fun times with them and it’s definitely created a new bond with them. We often remind people that swinging isn’t just about sex, it’s sharing a common mindset that you can have a judgement free, open dialog. Should you and your friend move forward with a sexual relationship you should communicate your expectations and boundaries. - Mr DV8 Her Take: Thank you for a great question! One of the hardest hurdles to overcome when you’re curious about swinging, is bringing up the idea to your partner. You’ve already taken a great first step. I’ll respond as if this were a MFM experience. Keep communicating, as introducing it is just the beginning. Starting ‘close to home’ can be comfortable and an amazing introduction to the lifestyle in general. What better way to explore, than with a trusted friend. Know that there may be other issues that can arise after your sexy rendezvous. You may encounter issues of jealousy or awkwardness afterwards, so you will want to be prepared just in case. Start slow, and communicate. I think a great way to start would be a group conversation about boundaries, guidelines and scenarios. Let the encounter lead your pace. On a personal level, I love the idea of having a close friend in the mix; a go-to person to spice things up. Someone that you can share all aspects of your life with, in and out of the bedroom. - Ms DV8 Have a question for ask dv8?

#safeswinging #alternativelifestylealliance #askdv8 #lifestyleeducation #swinging #sexrelationships #dv8lifestyle #covid19 Life and swinging has already changed fundamentally for all of us. We are in uncertain times and struggling with how to move forward with the "new normal". COVID-19 has altered swingers' perception of the lifestyle as our actions now have new consequences. COVID-19 is the top discussion in the lifestyle community and presents new challenges for us all in 2020. Being veterans in the lifestyle, we've addressed so many concerns over the years. We've often tackled the common issues that come with the lifestyle ie: jealousy, discretion, full or soft swapping, age gaps ect. We're now looking at swinging from a whole new point of view.  How are swingers dealing with the lifestyle right now? We took a poll of over 100 swingers asking how they are keeping busy while shut in.  70% of those polled have been regularly engaging in sex chats and virtual parties. While a quarter are masturbating more and role playing; this says a lot about the swingers mindset while social distancing. Being shut in has not slowed our drive for some kind of sexual titillation. May being masturbation month, it's not such a bad idea. Mutual masturbation among couples does not rate high on the charts (though we think it should). Finding more ways to express your sexuality without being able to swing, presents new challenges. We often encourage role playing with your partner and highly recommend mutual masturbation. Why not take the new norm as a way to try new things in the bedroom? March 2020 Poll: mewe.com How do 'they' view things moving forward? We surveyed over 200 Swingers about their primary concerns moving forward in the lifestyle. 44% felt that swinging the way we know it may not be the same, while nearly a quarter of them have a genuine fear of getting intimate with others. Many express concerns with stricter regulations on social gatherings, swingers clubs, lifestyle parties & businesses. At the very least, some fear it may be awhile before swinging becomes socially acceptable again.  March 2020 Poll: reddit.com, mewe.com So what's next? It may be a rough road ahead for swingers and proprietors of lifestyle clubs, resorts and cruises. Social distancing isn't an option for the most part in the swing lifestyle. Physical contact comes with the territory. Getting close and intimate with others is part of the allure of being in the lifestyle. It's the sexual excitement that comes with hooking up and playing with someone new or even your go to regular partners. Implications for lifestyle clubs, cruises and the swing lifestyle industry. We've all heard the news of stranded cruise ships with sick passengers, so a cruise might not be in your immediate future plans. Swinger Cruises are all the rave and now we have a new element added to the mix.  So what happens down the road in the industry? We can only guess what regulations may come in the aftermath of this pandemic. There has never been a time in our history that some sort of regulations didn't immediately follow a traumatic event. Lawmakers will be pining for months; maybe years after this is over. Rest assured, social gatherings as we know it will change forever.  Restrictions on Lifestyle related and the adult industry as a whole will be impacted.  Lawmakers are always on the lookout for new ways to slow the 'evil' adult industry. From the Porn industry to gentlemen's clubs to the Swingers underworld. To date, the swing lifestyle isn't exactly in the forefront of mainstream thinking. Swingers clubs are still nondescript buildings. Hotel parties and takeovers are thrown under assumed names or use private codes. BDSM clubs can be found in warehouses on the side streets of Manhattan. In our ten+ years as lifestyle hosts, we 'still' encounter individuals that refuse to believe or have a hard time accepting that the swingers lifestyle even exists to the extent that it does. Some have dismissed swinging as a myth or something that happens in dirty motels or died out in the 70's.  None would believe we and our colleagues in the industry have contracts with some of the most prestigious hotels and resorts in the world. Most wouldn't think they could use their Hilton Honors points at the next swinger party; but they have.  So what happens to these hotel chains when insurance companies and OSHA come knocking or state authorities get involved?  Some of our readers fear this could be the new reality. Stricter safety regulations could impact the lifestyle in ways we've not anticipated in the past. Safety guidelines could impact brick & mortar clubs by having licences or permits revoked, certificate of occupancy standards replaced and downsized. In our experience, lawmakers have not had our best interests in mind in the past. Using COVID-19 as a stepping stone to scale back the adult industry in general could be in the not so distant future. The future of Swinging. For the many swingers who do not normally frequent the swinger clubs, resorts ect. Are more apt to congregate with their inner circle of friends, or as we like to call our "go to" partners. We may find an influx of small house parties; staying in familiar territory rather than venture out into the normally crowded takeover parties.  This presents a problem for the newbies in the lifestyle and of course the singles looking to break into the lifestyle. Though we've always encouraged meet & greets as the best option for meeting new couples, we believe that still will survive and even thrive in the new normal. Connecting or getting 'plugged in' so to speak might be more difficult in an already competitive environment. This can add to the frustrations associated with getting started in the lifestyle. 10% of people we surveyed have a fear of being judged by simply coughing or sneezing, compounding the stigmas of hygiene and STD's we normally face in the lifestyle. The paranoia of getting sick is superseding our fears which could have dire consequences for the newbies. Most veteran swingers have a genuine trust of their current play partners and that they wouldn't expose them to any unnecessary risks.  Regardless of how we may feel going forward, we all can agree that swinging will definitely be around well after this pandemic is over. It's up to all of us to proceed in a safe, responsible and fun way. Education and communication has always been paramount in the lifestyle. Now more than ever, it's the key to the future of swinging in the COVID-19 era. The new lifestyle: We're going to explore how others are dealing with "the new lifestyle normal" in the second part of this segment.   Author Mr & Mrs DV8

Let’s face it, as a Country, these last few months have been challenging to say the least! While some people are spending their quarantine at home learning how to share their business, I prefer to celebrate masturbation month by taking care of business - ME. It’s free, easy and you don’t even need a mask! Hands-on approach: Let’s start the celebration by taking a self-guided tour of diddling Ms. Daisy. In 2018, TENGA Co. Ltd., a sexual health and wellness company, released the results of a poll which surveyed over 10,000 men and women ages 18-74 across 9 countries. They found that 84% of adults in the US admitted to masturbating regularly, while Spain took the lead with a monumental 93%. Way to pump those percentages, Spain! Give yourselves a hand! A Touchy Subject: In our lifetime, masturbation was criticized, especially for women. “Hysteria” was treated as an illness, and the ‘cure’ was Female Pelvic Massage (AKA Orgasm) performed by a physician. In fact, the term was still used by the American Psychiatric Association as recently as the 1950’s. Through the years, individuals were taught that touching yourself was shameful, unhealthy, or could even lead to illness. Some psychiatrists also defended the idea that masturbation was a result of a mental breakdown! Depending on your religious influences, it could be considered sinful and would put you on a direct course to the devil. ‘They’ suggested it could lead to side effects including going blind or developing hair on your hands. Thankfully, in recent years, there has been an abundance of acceptance and open discussions regarding self-gratification among singles and couples. So clap your hairy palms together and rejoice! Masturbation is a normal chapter in the book of sexuality! Ménage à Moi: “So, why do people masturbate”? There is no right answer to this, other than ‘it depends’. While ‘because it feels good’ is at the top of the list, it goes a little more in depth than that. WHY does it feel good? The naked truth is that there are actual medical reasons for it. When we touch ourselves, WE are in control of our own bodies and pleasure receptors. Bringing yourself to orgasm releases endorphins which makes us feel euphoric. In addition to these hormones, self-satisfaction releases neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, which have been proven to lift your spirits and activate the reward circuits in your brain. It’s like saying thank you to your body in sexy and creative ways. The Five Knuckle Shuffle: There are many benefits of masturbation. A recent study shows that there is a reduced risk of prostate cancer in men. Researchers speculate that the reduced risk was because frequent ejaculation may prevent the build-up of cancer-causing agents in the prostate gland. Men take the forefront in self-satisfaction with an average of 13% more ‘release’ than women. Paddling the Pink Canoe: In women, orgasm is a useful tool to relieve menstrual cramps and strengthen muscle tone; reducing her chances of uterine prolapse. In older women, it increases blood flow to the vagina, which may help counteract menopause’s uncomfortable effects such as vaginal dryness and pain. Masturbation has many physical and mental health benefits for both men and women. ‘Rubbing one out’ includes more than just a sense of well-being: It enhances sex with each other and has been shown to improve relationships and sexual satisfaction. The benefits continue: improving sleep quality; improving self-esteem and body image; reducing stress and tension; boosts concentration; elevates mood and provides better cognition in aging adults. Considering the benefits, why aren’t more people masturbating? For some, it’s still considered taboo. The shame associated with pleasuring oneself, especially for women, is usually contributed to their upbringing. They feel guilty like they don’t ‘deserve it’ or they’ve been taught that “good girls don’t do that”. Finding time and privacy can also be a major issue, especially with young children in the house under quarantine. One element to keep in mind is that the design of the human body allows us to be in direct contact with our genitals. In my opinion, if we weren’t supposed to touch our sex organs, they wouldn’t be within our reach. Table for two: According to a recent poll by Uncovering Intimacy, only 34% of married couples admitted to mutually masturbating and 50% use sex toys with their partners. One theory as to why more couples don’t masturbate, is the viewpoint that masturbation means that sex with their partner is unsatisfactory. This is a myth. Mutual masturbation is shown to enhance your sex life with your partner; it promotes intimacy and satisfaction allowing you to fulfill your desires and needs, separately, but still together. Over half of Americans 18-54 have used a sex toy, including 60% of Women and 44% of Men. According to Business Wire, the sex toy industry has grown into a 23 Billion dollar industry as of 2017, and is projected to reach a 35.5 Billion by 2023. How do you combine masturbation and sex toys together, so both partners benefit? Let’s explore. Masturbation Nation: Men are typically more visual creatures than women. They may be drawn to adult magazines and pornography, while women may only need a sexy imagination and a daydream fantasy. If you are ready to introduce mutual masturbation into your relationship, you may wonder, “How does one bring up the idea to my partner?” Let’s think about the happy ending to date night. Does the obligatory play start off with porn? Perhaps escape to your man cave flipping through the latest issue of horny babes in toyland? Does your partner know about it? Support it? Then you are already halfway there! Communication is a gateway. Ask your partner, “what are your fantasies? What turns you on? Is there anything I can help you with?” While men and women don’t always agree with the type of porn they watch, you can achieve common ground by simply talking about it. Women? Does the idea of a handyman coming over half-naked with a hard-on tickle your fancy? Men? Does a young hot cheerleader stimulate your shaft? Since there are an endless supply of movie titles available, you can find a common ground, even in the same film. You can begin your jacking jill party by communicating your inner fantasies. Take turns watching each other masturbate. It will be a game changer for sex. Watch where they touch, what makes them moan, watch how certain techniques make their body writhe in pleasure. Ladies, once you know what your mate likes to watch, why not whisper a sexy scenario in their ear while you stroke them passionately. Men, keep a close eye on her body language, listen to her intently. Once her breath starts to quicken, why not thrust her favorite toy inside of her while lightly kissing her neck. Afterall, it’s about the selfless pleasure you can give to one another. So what are you waiting for? Feeling unsatisfied? Butter that muffin! Quarantine making you tense and overwhelmed? Beat that meat! Trouble sleeping? Drain the pipes! Whatever justification suits you at the moment, masturbation just may be the answer to what ails you. It’s time to pass the time with pleasure. #FEELINGSEXY #DEVIERBOUTIQUE #MASTURBATIONMONTH #STRESSRELIEF #HANDSON #DV8LIFESTYLE #QUARANTINE #MASTURBATIONMAY

The Slippery Slope In the past, sex in general was not discussed openly, and the use and necessity of lubricants were considered to be a silent subject. Oftentimes, women felt embarrassed and unwilling to talk candidly about vaginal dryness. There were negative opinions about women who used lube, and it was once thought that if a woman experienced dryness, that meant she was either ‘aging’ out of sex, or not attracted to her partner. Let’s debunk that myth. How Dry I Am There are many physical and psychological reasons why a woman may experience vaginal dryness. It’s a very common problem affecting over half of menopausal women and 17% of women ages 18-50. According to the Mayo Clinic, reduced estrogen levels are the main cause. Estrogen, a female hormone, helps keep vaginal tissue healthy by maintaining normal lubrication, tissue elasticity and acidity. Estrogen levels can fall for a number of reasons: Breast-feeding Childbirth Cigarette smoking Immune disorders Menopause/Perimenopause Use of anti-estrogen medication Hormonal fluctuations Other causes of vaginal dryness include certain medical conditions, hygiene practices or psychological effects such as: Douching Sjogren's syndrome Antihistamines found in allergy and cold medications Lack of foreplay Past abuse Stress In recent years, women have become more confident in talking to their Doctors, partners and friends, about their need for lubricants. Not only are products openly marketed to the general population, but there has been a shift in the attitudes of its use and medical benefits. Since women (and men) are feeling empowered by the concept that lubricants can enhance the sexual experience, the industry is on track to become a 188 billion dollar commerce by the year 2024, according to Business Insider. The Ins and Outs It can be overwhelming to delve into the multitude of lubricants available today: warming, cooling, tingling, hybrid, natural alternatives for example. But which one is best for you? There’s actually no right answer. One brand does NOT fit all. It’s a personalized decision according to one's own needs and desires. We’ve come up with a few examples of the most popular types and their pros & cons. Natural Oil-based Due to the recent studies in holistic health, there are some natural home-based lube alternatives available. Oils such as coconut, avocado, olive and almond have been becoming increasingly popular for use as a lubricant. Coconut oil in its organic form, for example, has established itself as a front-runner for its benefits. Pros: Preservative free with antimicrobial and antifungal properties. These oils are edible, moisturizing, and wonderful for the skin. They’re also thicker and longer lasting compared to their artificial counterparts. Cons: Oils in general are not ideal for use on sheets or lingerie. They will stain and can be difficult to wash off easily. Also, as with any oil based lubes, they can weaken the latex in condoms, potentially causing them to break. In some women, oils have the possibility to disrupt the PH balance and cause infection, despite being antimicrobial. Silicone Pros: Silicone is hypoallergenic so it may work best with sensitive skin. It’s slick and has the tendency to last longer than its counterparts. Great for use in showers, hot tubs and pools, as it does not break down in water. It’s also convenient, as it can be rejuvenated with a small amount of saliva if necessary. Cons: Silicone lube is not safe for use with silicone toys or any latex condoms. It will cause a chemical reaction in the composition of the toy and can also cause the condom to become porous and fail. Water-Based Depending on age and gender, our bodies are made up mostly of water. This could be one of the reasons why choosing a water based lube has a natural benefit. Pros: The most popular. Safe to use with latex and non-latex condoms, as well as any sex toys. Water based lubricants will not stain, and are gentle and soothing on skin. Cons: Easily washes off with water, so not favorable for aquatic play. It evaporates quickly so you may have to reapply it often. Most brands usually contain preservatives that can lead to irritation. Water Based Hybrids These are the best of both worlds and a wonderful alternative to pure silicone. They have the benefits of both water and silicone lube in one container. It’s easy to see why they’re my personal favorite and top seller on Devier Boutique. Pros: Water-based hybrids are not tacky or sticky. They’re safe to use with condoms as well as most sex toys, and can last as long as pure silicone without the need to re-apply. Hybrids are non-staining, versatile, and feel like smooth silk in and on your body. Clean-up is easy with basic soap and water or your favorite toy cleaner. Cons: Some may contain glycerin, parabens or other preservatives (check the label) that may increase the risk of irritation. Some like it Hot: There are other lube choices available depending on what pleasure senses you want to experience. Warming: These lubes are designed to create a warm feeling during use. Not only are they perfect as a massage oil, they provide lubrication as well as stimulate circulation to your genital area, enhancing your sexual sensation. Cooling:  These lubes typically use ingredients containing mint or menthol to provide the body with a tingling feeling. This is especially beneficial for women who experience diminished sensations in their genital area or have dull nerve endings in their clitoras. Desensitizing:  These lubes are designed for anal play and contain a topical anesthetic. They work by slightly numbing the skin therefore decreasing painful penetration as well as increasing endurance during sex. If you’re not ready to waste money on a bunch of trial and errors, it is best to ask yourself a few questions to help you decide. First, determine which sensations you would find desirable. Are your favorite toys silicone? Will you be using them in water? Do you have quick access to soap and water? Allergies? Will you need to use condoms? Just some of the basic answers to questions like these can give you the tools needed to start you in the right direction of the luscious life of lube.

image source reason.com Stock plans are eligible for funds, yet not adult entertainers. Sex workers and anyone whose professional activities involve "prurient" products or content are ineligible for COVID-19-related loans for small businesses and the self-employed. "Whorephobia is literally written into this covid19 relief," commented Jacq the Stripper on Twitter. "In a global pandemic, policy makers are actively making the world a worse place for sex workers and their families." On the Small Business Administration (SBA) website, U.S. business owners employing fewer than 500 people, sole proprietors, and independent contractors "that are impacted by the Coronavirus" can now apply for the SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program. Small cooperatives, nonprofit organizations, and Employee Stock Ownership Plans are also eligible. But SBA explicitly excludes a few categories of businesses and workers. Some of these make sense: Applicants engaged in activity that's illegal under federal law are not eligible for assistance. Nor are certain agricultural enterprises, which are eligible for government funding in other forms. And members of Congress and state and local governments are also barred from SBA disaster-relief loans. Yet some of the eligibility requirements reflect nothing more than prejudice, puritanism, and playing favorites. For instance, any entity that normally makes more than one-third of its gross annual revenue from legal gambling is excluded. So is any applicant that presents "live performances of a prurient sexual nature," and anyone who "derive(s) directly or indirectly more than de minimis gross revenue through the sale of products or services, or the presentation of any depictions or displays, of a prurient sexual nature." In this way, the government can make sure direct-service sex workers are still banned from COVID-19 relief loans, despite prostitution not being illegal under federal law. They can also reject loan applications from independent workers in industries (like webcamming and porn) that are unquestionably legal across the country. And they can refuse loans to disfavored businesses, like strip clubs and sex toy shops, despite these perfectly legal businesses being forcibly shut down by state orders just the same as movie theaters, hair salons, and clothing boutiques have been. "The goal of the assistance in the CARES act is to keep businesses intact," notes Forbes contributor Will Jeakle. "Another goal is to keep companies and their employees spending so that the structure of the economy can stay relatively stable for the snapback that should occur once the crisis is mitigated." By denying disaster-relief loans to disfavored workers and businesses, however, authorities aren't merely trying to keep the "structure of the economy" relatively stable— they're seemingly designing a new, post-COVID-19 economy, without workers and businesses they don't like. The only other condition barring someone from eligibility is being behind on child support payments. (Because, surely, being unemployed and banned from SBA loans will help put food in those kids' mouths! Oh, wait…) The SBA disaster loan program is separate from the $1,200 COVID-19 relief checks that Congress approved last week for all Americans under a certain income bracket.

Our Story The Deviate Network has been in the lifestyle business for over 10 years.  As event hosts, we are committed to providing fun and exciting ways for our guests to interact and break the ice. We had purchased numerous games to play at our events, and found they were not sexy or interactive and were not conducive to 'play'. In addition, we couldn’t find anything on the market that was geared towards people in the alternative lifestyles.  In 2015, DV8 Dare™ Erotic Lifestyle Games were created! We started with prototypes for each game, and used attendees at lifestyle events for our focus groups. This gave us the opportunity to see first-hand what worked and what didn’t.  We have taken that positive feedback, and created 5 games to date.  Our slogan 'Created for Swingers by Swingers'™ lets our customers know that our products are genuine lifestyle games.  Our 6th game is scheduled for release in early 2020. #dv8dare, #dv8roleplay, #dv8eroticgmaes, #dv8darepong, #dv8lifestyle, #dv8lifestyle, #swinglifestyle, #swinging, #sexuality, #swingersdare, #swingerpartygames, #swingergames, #lifestylegames See our products and find out more at dv8dare.com

#dv8lifestyle #swinglifestyle #askdv8 #swinging #relationships #sexuality #sextips #swingingsingle #singlemen, #rokuporn, #swingersporn #streamiingporn We're all stuck at home, entertaining ourselves these days can be a task in itself. Without our normal dose of live action at swing clubs, parties or just some hot couples play we need to get our fix. Though porn is a taboo subject outside the lifestyle, us swingers embrace it! We love our porn! Now more than ever we find ourselves sneaking to our bedroom for our playtime and that background porn is just as necessary as breaking out the sex toys. Since we stream, we wanted to share our take on streaming and porn. How we found it and the apps we recommend. Enjoy! Porn and Streaming Streaming is becoming the norm. If you’re not doing it yet then you are being left behind.  With so many streaming options, you probably already use at least one app, if not more. Netflix, Prime, Hulu and even CBS are cost effective, if you want to watch ALL their shows. It’s like a race to see how many streaming channels you can get Cutting the Cord the Porn Dilemma We cut the cable cord 3 years ago and have no regrets. Being of dirty minds there was one obstacle that stood in our way. Good porn! With cable, we only had a few adult channels to choose from, and we had to pay big bucks for them. We were also stuck watching whatever video was playing at the time. The on-demand was limited and at $25 plus a month it was a hefty price to pay for such a limited selection. Since we ditched our bulky cable box, we thought, “why clutter up our sleek sexy new streaming setup with an ugly old DVD player”. But wait! We need porn! Yes we need it! We love it! We have to have it! So the search was on. I figured, “No problem, I'll just go through the streaming apps and load up some porn.” No dice! I found an array of bikini clips. “uh, no that’s not going to work”. I loaded app after app of nothing but hot women posing and dancing around. While that may be enough for some, we’re more hardcore than that. We needed our porn to keep up with us. The reality is, you're NOT going to find porn apps on the ROKU menu, period. This could be a problem for habitual users like us. We’re way past sifting through DVD’s to find something good while we get down to business, or when we have a sexy date or party planned and we need some dirty background porn to set the mood. Eureka! - WE FOUND PORN! Yes we found it. I know what you’re thinking, so what? Especially if you’ve already cracked that code. Not all of us had and this was three years ago in our defense. So down the rabbit hole we went as with anyone's porn sessions. We had to find something that was good for us and worth the price. We wanted more 'bang for the buck' so to speak. Besides who doesn’t love good cheap porn right? In the age of the internet it’s kind of hard to compete with free internet porn sites like pornhub and xhamster to name our favs. After doing our due diligence - who am I kidding after ‘Mr DV8’ did the searches. (Mrs DV8 leaves the porn department up to me, as long as I select something that suits her changing moods) I was able to find a few options. Some were more pricey than others, but we found a few that became our favorites. These were still way better than what we had on cable. We found that adding the apps to our streaming platform was a very simple process right through the websites. Once we joined up poof we instantly had access to everything we wanted and more. Since joining three years ago there have been many new options available. We've reviewed our favorites below and added a few notable mentions. Enjoy! TIP: If you have kids in the house, some of the sites offer discreet app icons. We also use a different account for our bedroom ROKU, as should you. All of these sites will also work on most other streaming platforms. SUGAR INSTANT This is the best deal and without a doubt, our favorite! The unlimited plan is only $9.99 a month! You can prepay for the year for only $99! Best of all, they offer a 5 day free trial so you can browse their vast library of content. You can’t lose with this one.

When we reach our destination, it’s easy to hook up the ROKU so we can watch our favorite streaming channels, and of course, our pre-loaded porn apps.    Being Swingers, we get our fair share of sex in while we’re on the go.  Being able to stream our porn, sure beats lugging the DVD player along so we can get our necessary background entertainment. Notable Streaming Adult Channels We’d love to say we’ve tried them all but it’s not in the cards.  Even sex fiends have limits.
