afterglow Charts Rapid Growth in Women's Erotica Market

AUSTIN, Texas — Women's erotica and lifestyle brand afterglow is touting "tremendous company growth" in its first four months of business.

"I can't believe how fast our growth has been. We had to limit signups and put up a waitlist, which grew to over 2,000 in less than three months. Now afterglow is ready to go big,” Founder Lilly Sparks said. “It has been hard for me to keep up on the tech side with the ever-growing demand, but we are more than up to the challenge."

Sparks noted that since its official launch in February, "afterglow has doubled its site content, and 60% of trial users have converted to paid subscribers. In less than three months, we have grown to thousands of users; fans have told us, ‘I’ve been looking for an adult site like this that is both sexy and respectful.’”

Media coverage includes features in Forbes, Men’s Health, Marie Claire UK, New York Times and Inside Hook.

"The media exposure proves how badly people want to talk about sex and porn, and our growth shows the pressing need to shift the narrative around sex in our society and make sex fun, like it should be," Sparks said. "afterglow offers the freedom to have more mind-blowing sex by providing a comfortable space to explore; by reducing the shame and stigma around sex, you can more openly take pleasure into your own hands."

The platform is currently offering complimentary seven-day trial memberships.
