LOS ANGELES — ASACP has named Lion's Den, LetsDoeIt and Cybersocket as Featured Sponsors for August.
"ASACP’s family of sponsors highlight the industry’s efforts to protect the innocence of youth," said ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning. "These market leaders work in unison to safeguard children while improving the online experience for adults."
These are the ASACP descriptions for its August sponsors:
Lion’s Den
An ASACP Title Sponsor that has supported the association since 2006, Lion’s Den provides the very best in sexual health products, including a range of adult toys, lingerie, massage oils, literature, novelty items and more, through its retail superstores and online at LionsDen.com.
Lion’s Den opened its first retail facility in Columbus, Ohio, in 1971. Since then, it has grown to more than 50 outlets nationwide, building its reputation on high-quality products, low prices and a knowledgeable sales staff.
Lion’s Den advocates for a sex-positive perspective on intimacy and sexual well-being and strives to break the stereotypes and stigma surrounding sex by providing comprehensive educational resources to empower everyone to enjoy life to the fullest. Lion’s Den partners with many organizations to amplify awareness regarding sexual health. Through joint efforts, Lion’s Den provides valued resources to support organizations focused on sexual health and education, first amendment rights, child protection and human trafficking.
“We’re proud that our community involvement includes supporting ASACP’s efforts to protect kids from exploitation and adult material,” said Lion’s Den CEO Michael Moran. “Each of these areas directly relates to the adult industry, and Lion’s Den is proud to support causes that improve their brand’s customer experience and the industry as a whole.”
LetsDoeIt
LetsDoeIt is an adult-oriented paysite network that provides online content to adults only and, as such, is on the frontline of the need for effective child protection — a responsibility that LetsDoeIt takes seriously and proudly advocates throughout the industry.
LetsDoeIt is a patron of the child protection initiative by being one of the pioneers of age verification in Europe. Amidst all the recent changes, LetsDoeIt ensures that all big players in the adult ecosystem move simultaneously to address the rapidly growing changes the web has thrust upon society as a whole, affecting children and minors more than ever.
The company uses an age warning page and the RTA meta-label code to prevent minors’ unauthorized access to its flagship website. In addition, it has special measures and policies to ensure that LetsDoeIt only displays legal content. These measures also apply to the newest addition to the company’s portfolio of websites, Superbe.com, a non-sexually driven product focusing on sophisticated erotic art.
“Even more than being just legal, the most important role of the adult industry is to protect children from a problem that still haunts us today: child pornography and abuse,” said Phil, COO of LetsDoeIt Network and Superbe. “LetsDoeIt and Superbe only work with adult companies and producers who share this important viewpoint and cooperate against this serious matter.”
Unlike some competitors, LetsDoeIt does not allow user uploads and only operates with legally licensed content. They have set precedence in the industry by setting the bar for compliance and legal standards regarding production, making it an absolute pleasure for producers and models alike to work with them.
“LetsDoeIt and Superbe will continue fighting for this cause,” Phil continued. “We will continue working closely with all our partners, including state officials, to ensure we are one step ahead and lead by example for others to follow.”
Cybersocket
An ASACP Corporate Sponsor since 2003, Cybersocket promotes gay adult websites to a large and varied audience while providing news, practical resources and provocative, original content for the LGBTQ community. For the past two decades, as an industry leader, Cybersocket has hosted the annual Cybersocket Web Awards honoring the finest gay online services and providing a powerful example of how to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented material, partly by using the RTA label as a doorkeeper.
“ASACP appreciates Lion’s Den, LetsDoeIt, and Cybersocket for their commitment, generosity and leadership in supporting the association and its mission to keep children out of and away from adult-oriented content,” Henning added. “ASACP’s sponsors are building a better future for the industry and society’s most vulnerable members. We thank them for this and encourage others to support our efforts on behalf of the children.”
