Pay for Emotional labour, sex work and virtual sex technology among subjects explored during a virtual sex technology conference
Earlier this month, more than 600 foreign participants came to the 2020 Women of Sex Tech (WoST) virtual conference to learn about women's viewpoints and experiences during the pandemic.
Women of Sex Tech is a women's identification, women and non-binarian organization that advocates sexual activity in the sex technology community.
At the time , political problems were illustrated by the case, and women were praised for all their work on justice, freedoms, security, gender , and economic inequality.
The conference 's mission on 2 May was to "sensitize the effects of COVID-19 on intersection of human sex and technology and explain them." The conference was held on 2 May.
However, it hardly happened. The virtual event was initially scheduled on YouTube, but after feed was shut down on the Google website, the conference organizers moved to Crowdcast in the last minute.
The workshop was organized by SX Noir, WoST's vice-president, and included 17 lecturers, including Cindy Gallop of Make Love Not Porn (NSFW). Indeed, the event participants came from the United States , Canada , Australia, Singapore , India and Great Britain all over the world.
Several speakers at the conference highlighted the need for women to be compensated, particularly for their "emotional work" and as the predominant caregivers of the world.
In this sense the participants were encouraged to send an invitation to any speaker or charity to choose the speaker while the conference was open.
SX Noir, Cindy Gallop and Jessie Sage (who spoke about sex work during a pandemic) all expressed the same opinions about the continuing inability to consider – and therefore to pay – the more physical role of women in delivering services.
However, Cindy Gallop said in her keynote that we are currently witnessing a change in the world's "keepers." COVID-19 has finally given caretakers and frontlines (usually women) recognition for their important work.
And in this there are opportunities to change the (sexual) social equation typically aimed at men.
Presenters have addressed the pandemic prospects for women in sex technology.
Lips is founded by Annie Brown and Val Elefante; a forum for the social trade to promote truthful and open-ended women's and LBGTQ+ collective innovation.
They addressed how most sex technology was created by people with little understanding of the needs and complexities of women or LGBTQ+ people, as did Cindy Gallop.
In view of this, the pandemic offers sexological women a chance to redefine and redefine the industry.
The host of Future Sex Podcast and host of sex technology hackathons Bryony Cole talked about how a pandemic offers opportunities also for those women who are trying to enter the world of sex technology.
Bryony outlined strategies for breaking into the market, tackling censorship issues, manufacturing dilemmas and other risks associated with digital. Digital technology industry is now booming and
Speaker Shakun Sethi, the founder of a sex-positive Tickle.life publishing press, talked about how sex technology will redefine post-pandemic intercourse, particularly as regards people who understand their sexuality and desires at an exploratory stage. The pandemic has allowed more people to explore these desires through online conversations and purchases of sex toys (now confined to home).
Ducky Doolittle who has extensive experience as a sex educator and sex toys marketing reiterated that sex toys are important goods. During a pandemic, sex toys provide comfort, fun and communication to individuals; when under stress, they play an significant role in wellness.
For events canceled because of COVID-19, a virtual reality ( VR) in the sex technology industry allowed for online occurrence.
The pandemic also poses incentives for RV sexual encounters, which currently under study and production by RDLs, says Angelina Aleksandrovitch of the Raspberry Dream Labs.
The pandemic COVID-19 has also presented women in sex technology with many challenges.
Sarah Brynn, sex writer and sex toy advisor, emphasized the increasing restrictions on the rights of women to access abortion during the pandemic in the USA. If abortion is not seen as an important medical procedure, it adds to existing inequalities for women.
