Alexandra Fine, co-founder and CEO of Dame Products, is a leading figure in sexual health and sextech. A credentialed sexologist and member of Forbes' 30 Under 30 2018, she's dedicated to fostering essential conversations and creating innovative intimacy-enhancing products. With a Master's in Clinical Psychology specializing in sex therapy from Columbia, Fine has propelled Dame Products and its acclaimed vibrators into the spotlight since 2014, earning praise from top media outlets worldwide.

Ep 99 Description:  “Pleasure was a part of what it meant to feel good in life. Sexual identities are important that these things are worth investing and understanding.” —Alexandra Fine While male sexuality is frequently encouraged or normalized in mainstream culture, female sexuality and pleasure are often negative and stigmatizing. As a result, women face barriers in openly discussing their bodies and experiences with sexuality. This leads to women's health being politicized and their access to information and tools related to pleasure being restricted. However, perspectives are gradually shifting as more voices advocate for women's rights to explore their sexuality freely and pursue fulfillment in their intimate relationships without shame.   Alexandra Fine is a sexologist and the co-founder of Dame Products, a company that designs tools specifically tailored to help women explore pleasure and reclaim their sexuality. Through her work at Dame Products and as an advocate, she aims to have open discussions around female sexuality and empower women. Tune in as Debra and Alexandra share insight into navigating sexuality, childbirth, and parenting while challenging stigmas around female pleasure. They also discussed societal attitudes towards female pleasure, the challenges of promoting healthy views of sexuality, how vibrators can be used for pain management during labor and birth, and more.    If you would like to Positively Prepare for Birth - check out our Pleasurable Birth Essentials online classes  or if you are a doula take our  free challenge of  5 Essential Tools to Enhance Pleasure-Centered Birth:    https://orgasmicbirth.app.clientclub.net/courses/offers/f09cf842-9294-41f3-941e-ab4cd6833a59    https://www.orgasmicbirth.com/orgasmic-birth-practitioner-training/  Connect with Debra!

In 2018, the sex toy company Dame decided to advertise in the New York City subway, run by the MTA. In September, the MTA's ad agency, Outfront Media, began working with Dame on a campaign that would run in subway cars, showcasing sex toys against neutral backgrounds and featuring slogans that read, “Toys, for sex” and customer reviews.By late November of that year, however—after Dame says it spent significant money revising and developing ads in an attempt to meet the ad agency's suggestions for approval—the MTA completely and abruptly changed course on Dame's campaign, as well as all other sex toy ads on public transit. The MTA rejected Dame's ad campaign, and publicly published guidelines on advertising that prohibited any “sexually oriented business" from advertising on MTA property.Meanwhile, ads for viagra and other erectile dysfunction products continued to grace the eyes of countless New York commuters, with no questions asked. So in 2019, Dame sued the MTA for the arbitrary censorship they had experienced. This story demonstrates the countless hurdles and discrimination companies within the sex industry face in trying to market and discuss their products. Whether it's Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok or billboards, talking about sex and pleasure in a frank and open way on the internet, and in the real world, is extremely difficult.Alexandra Fine, the Founder of Dame, has navigated these challenges in many creative ways. After graduating with her master's in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University in New York, Alexandra founded Dame Products alongside engineer Janet Lieberman in 2014 with a line of vibrators aimed at closing the "pleasure gap."Since then, Dame has raised upwards of $11 million and run a number of successful crowdfunding campaigns, leveraging platforms such as Indigogo and Kickstarter. At the company's helm, Alexandra possesses the resilience and energy required to bring light to an industry that many are attempting to hide. In this episode, Alexandra and Caroline discuss the various hurdles sex companies face, particularly when it comes to marketing and fundraising. Alexandra shares her experience suing the MTA and advocating for change within the industry. Learn more about here Dame here.Follow Alexandra here. Hosted on Acast.

In the past couple of years the media has positioned women's exploration of sex, passion, and desire, as a form of "self-care" -- a wellness practice that helps them feel better about themselves. Today's guest "Michelle" breaks down how her affairs, particularly one with a sexy personal trainer, have become a form of self-care for her. She says they make her feel better and take better care of herself.  So, can an affair be another form of self-care, like yoga, meditation, or dry brushing? Is an orgasm with someone who isn't your spouse an actual wellness practice, or do women just need to justify their desires as self-care in order to fully realize those desires without shame? Alexandra Fine, sexologist and creator of Dame, a pleasure products company, weighs in. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi everyone! Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thanks for tuning in to my solo episode this week. I'm recording this from my little hotel room in sunny New York city and I'm feeling so grateful to be in this beautiful city. Today, I want to dive into a topic that I know is going to be relevant for every single one of you listening in. And that's the topic of female health. Women have been underserved by the healthcare industry for a really damn long time. But now finally, with more women in STEM, and more female entrepreneurial disrupters, the future of femtech is looking bright.  Firstly, we learn from Dr. Amy Divaraniya, the founder of Oova, an incredibly innovative women's health company. Amy has more than 10 years of experience as a data scientist and has both led and published original research in the areas of personal genomics and biomarker discovery. Next, I introduce Nadya Okamoto from August. Or you might know her better as the “period girl”. August is the lifestyle period brand that makes sustainable period care that actually works. And Nadya is one of those women that is impossible not to be impressed by and excited about. She's a Harvard grad, author, speaker, NGO founder, gen z marketing agency founder and now august as well as a TikToker that's grown to 2.4 million followers. Thirdly, I dive into the story of Bethany Edwards and her creation Lia, the world's first flushable pregnancy test. Lia is an earth-friendly healthcare company on a mission to revolutionize reproductive health through the development of innovative products. The company's first product, which came to market just last year, is the FDA cleared Lia pregnancy test. Next I'm introducing you to Alexandra Fine, a real favourite from the show, and one of the women behind Dame. Dame is leading a sexual wellness revolution as a women-powered resource for game-changing products for pleasure and supportive content.  Our fifth story is that of Krystal Duhaney the Founder of Milky Mama. After having her second child and returning to work, Krystal struggled with her milk supply and realized that there were very few resources for breastfeeding mothers in the same predicament. So, in November of 2015, Milky Mama was born. Today, Milky Mama is dedicated to educating, supporting and empowering parents to have the best breastfeeding journey possible. I next introduce you to another woman modernizing sustainable period care, Cherie Hoeger with Saalt. In 2018, Saalt launched its flagship product—the Saalt period cup—with the vision of making cleaner, more sustainable period care accessible to everyone. Last but not least, I want to shine a light on Sally Mueller and her company Womaness. Womaness is a collection of modern, innovative menopause products developed for women, by women that offer solutions from head to toe, and everything in between.  These are all stories that have really stuck with me in the last year, an incredible little bank of inspiration, and if I can pass that feeling onto even just one of you today that's a mission very much accomplished. Let's get straight to it! This is me, for Female Startup Club.

FemTech designates all technologies addressing women's health — including reproductive health, hormonal health, menopause, and a lot more. Last year, STATION F launched a new startup program to support innovation in this space because FemTech entrepreneurs have to overcome additional challenges on top of the usual founder hurdles: they have to deal with censorship, taboo, and difficulty convincing investors.In this first episode of Entrepreneur Talks, we interview Alexandra Fine, Founder & CEO of Dame Products, a leading SexTech company that has not only faced these barriers but also built a thriving business. Dame has led and won a three-year legal battle to have the possibility of doing ads in the New York City subway. Dame is also part of the first companies to be featured at Sephora in their new Sexual Wellness selection. It has broken new ground for FemTech startups at large and we are super excited to have Alexandra on the show to tell us about her stories and learnings from building Dame — starting with how to fundraise to market a product surrounded by taboo.This episode is co-hosted by Elin Øyre and Andrea Olsson, the co-founders of Bumpy, a startup in STATION F's FemTech Program. Elin and Andrea are building a platform to support people going through infertility by connecting them together and helping them to find the right fertility provider. Find out what it takes to succeed in the FemTech industry. And, if you are building a FemTech startup, applications for STATION F's FemTech Program are open until April 24!

Alexandra talks about sexual wellness, closing the pleasure gap, non-binary perspectives, and Dame's three-year-long court battle against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Their historic triumph over the MTA validates both the existence of the woman-owned company as well as of female pleasure and wellness. This is also a giant win for free speech and anti-censorship.

Alexandra Fine is the Co-Founder and CEO of Dame which launched in 2014 after joining forces with Janet Lieberman, an MIT-trained engineer. Dame is a woman-powered company in every way and that's why you're hearing this story during March 2022 which is also Women's History Month. Al is a lifelong student of sexual health, having earned her Master's in clinical psychology with a concentration in sex therapy from Columbia University. A Forbes' 30 Under 30 awardee, Al has transformed her role as a CEO into one of a dedicated activist for women's health, gender equity, and prioritizing pleasure. On the show, Alexandra talks about sexual wellness, closing the pleasure gap, non-binary perspectives, The Sims BDSM, and a ton more. Our conversation is mostly focused on Dame's three-year-long court battle against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Their historic triumph over the MTA validates both the existence of the woman-owned company as well as of female pleasure and wellness. Ensuring that company has the right to advertise on subways, buses, and commuter rail. Places that have long welcomed male-focused brands like Ro (Roman), Hims, as well as breast enhancements, and more. This is a big deal since the MTA transports over 11 million passengers a day. That's a lot of customers. This is also a giant win for free speech and anti-censorship. Congrats to Dame Products and the team. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/DreamNation/support

When Alexandra Fine co-founded Dame, a women-founded sex toy company looking to close the pleasure gap, not everyone was on board with her vision. She got a lot of pushback - from traditional investors to advertisers - as she sought to change how the world looked at sex toys and pleasure. So this week: we spoke to Alexandra about how she navigated those obstacles and came up with creative solutions to get Dame off the ground. In this episode, Alexandra shares:  How they funded the businesses when investors said ‘no'  How she's built her team  Why Dame has to get creative with how they advertise their products  How she overcame people who doubted her mission  Why Dame is suing the MTA  Learn more about your ad choices.

YA'LL. IT'S OUR 50TH EPISODE, BABEEEEE! And today's guest is truly ICONIC...   As CEO of Dame Products, Alexandra Fine translates the nuances of our sexualities into human-friendly toys for sex. A lifelong student of sexual health, Fine earned her Masters in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in sex therapy from Columbia University. Realizing that her skills would be best put to use making concrete improvements to people's lives, Fine began developing her own vibrators at home and asking friends to give her their feedback. She was gaining startup experience with an organic shampoo company and decided the time was right to put her passions and her business acumen to use in the world of sex toys. Over the past six years, Alexandra has led Dame's team to sell over 150K products in retailers all over the world. Perhaps more importantly, she's translated her role as CEO into one of a dedicated activist for women's health, gender equity, and prioritizing pleasure, leading efforts to uncover sexism in the industry at every turn.   We talked to Alex for 2 hours straight - it was one of those conversations that just flowed and dipped and flipped with ease. We talk about her personal experience as a human who identifies as a Non-binary woman, motherhood, running a multi-million dollar sex toy empire, relationship fluidity, what we're all looking for in our dream #momsquad, and so much more. We split this convo up into 2 parts for easier digestion.

So does the fun factor.In this episode, credentialed sexologist Alexandra Fine talks with me about the pleasure gap and ways to close it.

Alexandra Fine, co-founder and CEO of Dame Products, sits down with Daryn and Liz to talk about the challenge of being in a sexually oriented business, the importance of being inclusive and how she started a sex toy company that closed the pleasure gap.

On today’s episode I catch up with Alex Fine, the co-founder of Dame, a sex toy company by women for women on a mission to close the pleasure gap. Al is a graduate of Wash U, has her masters is clinical psychology from Columbia University, and cites her interests in sex positivity have always been a key factor to her identity. In our conversation today Alex shares with Bedside how she got started creating & developing Dame products, and how Dame is working to change the pleasure narrative. Alex gets real about what it was like finding permission to exist in a notoriously male dominated industry, the complexity of orgasms (yes baby orgasms exist!), we talk pandemic, intimacy in isolation, and the ins & outs of what sex routines are looking like in the here & now.Keep up with Bedside:Instagram, The Resource Connect with Alex Fine:Instagram, Dame Use DISCOUNT CODE: BEDSIDE for 15% off all purchases on Dame.

Sometimes to affect real change, it comes down to starting over and building anew. Ali Kriegsman understands this idea in more ways than one. As an inherently curious and creative person, Ali has been building a life and career that encompasses her varied interests, ranging from writing to music to community-building. These passions eventually culminated in her role as the co-founder and COO of Bulletin—a curated wholesale marketplace with a mission to democratize retail for brands and optimize retail for stores. Like Ali’s journey, Bulletin’s path is also one that is built on evolution. But despite its many iterations, storytelling remains a constant for Bulletin and has provided a foundation for the business to endure with each of its exciting chapters. In fact, Ali recently chronicled this, and more, in her forthcoming book, How to Build a God Damn Empire. This dual memoir-meets-guidebook outlines Ali’s experiences and features varying perspectives on the realities of modern entrepreneurship.  In this interview, Ali shared more about her relationship with storytelling, her observations as a B2B founder, and what she’s learned about establishing boundaries both online and offline. This episode also opens with a story contributed by Alexandra Fine via our segment, Soul Stories.

In this week’s episode, we talk with Alexandra Fine, Co-founder & CEO of Dame Products. We discuss the importance of getting to know all the different versions of ourselves, how to acknowledge the contradictions within each of us, and whether people can actually change. We talk about sex as a part of society, the power of cultural influences, and the limitations of binary thinking. We learn about Dame’s mission to close the "pleasure gap"—and the dangerous implications of a discriminatory advertising industry that continually censors content related to female sexual wellbeing. In case you didn’t know, BBXX suffers from this, too! Instagram frequently rejects any promotional ads we attempt because of a totally vague blanket ban on "inappropriate content," which apparently includes anything even remotely related to living healthy relationships in general :(   PS.

We envisioned kicking off a new season of Slow Stories on a different note, but as we all know, the widespread tragedy caused by COVID-19 has forced us to slow down in more ways than one. Still, we wanted to think about the most effective way to contribute to an ever-evolving, noisy landscape that has spread uncertainty to every corner of the globe — our answer: storytelling. If you’ve listened to past episodes of Slow Stories, you might be aware that we begin each episode with a "slow story" contributed by a member of our community. These stories have inspired each of our contributors to "stop in their scroll" or slow down and unplug. In light of everything that’s happening in the world today, we couldn’t be more proud to kick off a new season of Slow Stories then by resharing some of these stories along with a few new voices in this special segment. In this episode, you'll hear slow and soul stories that members of our community return to not only when looking to slow down, but when seeking out happiness and peace. A special thank you to our newest contributors: Ali Alquiza, Larissa May, Alexandra Fine, Stef Etow, Natalie Skoblow, Grace Lee, Ash Souza, and Chelsea Nicholson.

I’ve got a book coming out in January that I’m really excited about. In 2019, I quit my job (and that’s another story) to  interview and get to know professional dominatrixes from all over the country to learn their philosophies on how to get what you deserve in the bedroom, the boardroom, or any room you’re in. I learned a lot from these fantastic women and I took everything I wrote in this book to heart. Yes, everything. It’s called BOW DOWN: Lessons from Dominatrixes on How to Get Everything You Want. You can go to pre-order it at SimonandSchuster.com/books/bowdown or just pre-order it wherever you buy your favorite books, and you’ll have it on January 14, 2020.    Thanks so much for your love and support. I’ve missed you all so much.

Attitudes toward the sex toy industry have changed dramatically thanks to the Internet, making what was once a taboo subject pervasive in popular culture. In this episode, Lindsey and Jenny take a closer look at the $15 billion "adult product" market, with guests including Phil Harvey, who founded the adult store chain Adam & Eve in 1970 and explains to them how the industry has blossomed during the past 40 years. Challenges persist, however. As Babeland founder Claire Cavanah says, sometimes it's tough just to do basic banking. And Dame Products founders Alexandra Fine and Janet Lieberman tell our hosts that they used crowdfunding to make a new toy, but faced hurdles trying to advertise it.
