LOS ANGELES — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has named Streamate, Fleshlight, and GFY/Internext as its featured sponsors for October 2024.
ASACP is a nonprofit organization with a 28-year history dedicated to promoting online child safety. The association is committed to protecting children from online harm with the support of numerous companies, organizations, and individuals.
“The pivotal role of the association’s sponsors in shaping the future of online child protection, especially in guiding efforts toward age verification to preserve the innocence of youth, is truly commendable and deeply appreciated,” said ASACP executive director Tim Henning. “The tools provided by ASACP, made possible by the support of our sponsors, are not just beneficial, they are invaluable.”
These are the ASACP descriptions for its October sponsors:
Streamate
At Streamate.com, users can chat and interact with amateur performers of every type while watching them live on camera, creating a highly unique and personal social and entertainment experience. Membership is free, and there is no monthly or recurring fee to view the site, although premium chat sessions are offered at per-minute prices.
Streamate’s Director of Marketing, Liz R., notes that ASACP is among the most essential parts of our industry.
“Their commitment and ongoing effort to protect children and fight against exploitation is more important than ever,” Liz said. “As the industry (and world) continue to change and adapt to external requirements, having ASACP directly focus on protection is invaluable.”
Liz explains that of the many resources ASACP offers, the RTA label is likely among the most impressive, and she believes that “simply put, everyone should use it!”
“Given the current climate around age verification, online safety, security, and privacy, it benefits everyone to collaborate and find ways to tackle the hurdles we face as an industry,” Liz added. “Finding the most effective ways to ensure our audiences are confirmed adults adds value to our efforts and ensures our audiences remain confident in our products. Our support of organizations such as ASACP is critical to this!”
FleshlightSince 2007, Fleshlight and its parent company, Interactive Life Forms, have been proud ASACP Corporate Sponsors and recognized leaders in sexual wellness and satisfaction. Pioneering the development of advanced haptic devices, Fleshlight merges traditional pleasure products with cutting-edge technology.
Fleshlight is honored to be recognized for its continuing commitment to child safety, exemplifying both innovation and responsibility in the industry. It also continues in its commitment to providing high-quality adult novelties to adults only while aspiring to broaden and improve the overall discourse on male sexuality.
“In many ways, men have been left out of the modern sexual wellness movement, which openly celebrates female pleasure and female-oriented products in the mainstream, out in the open. However, male pleasure products are often subject to social stigma or ridicule, and male masturbation is still often seen as a shameful act instead of a healthy, natural human occurrence,” Fleshlight founder Steve Shubin explained. “I hope that through our continuing work, Fleshlight can help alleviate that situation while taking the discourse surrounding male sexuality towards a healthier, more positive direction for all adults.”
GFY/InternextAn In-Kind Media Sponsor since 2021, GFY.com is known for its lively community and uncensored discussions.
GFY features dedicated message boards for topics ranging from casual commentary to in-depth adult and mainstream business discussions. In addition, educational forums and online marketplaces for content, jobs, services, traffic, and more round out the GFY experience.
GFY’s “Where the Industry Meets” tagline underscores its value as a veteran resource, Internext Expo event host, and adult digital media business touchpoint.
“Our sponsors’ contributions are not just about supporting the association but also about shaping the industry and, most importantly, ensuring children’s online safety, which is a responsibility we all share,” Henning added. “ASACP’s sponsors are contributing to building a better world for consenting adults and society’s most vulnerable members. This is an honorable mission that the association will continue to embrace and spread to all industry stakeholders.”
