The TED story
Launching MakeLoveNotPorn at TED 2009 changed my life. I would never have anticipated that I would start a movement and a business that would be welcomed by thousands of people all over the world, that I would become a champion and an advocate of not blocking porn but disrupting it, and that I would define, pioneer and champion the category of sextech as the Next Big Thing in tech.
