What do women search for most when browsing for porn? The answer will surprise you. Lilly Sparks of afterglow shares her journey from big firm accounting to entrepreneur founding afterglow, a sexy and disruptive tech-company that merges porn and sexual wellness by creating high quality ethical films ranging from steamy videos, wellness articles and helpful exercises β all in an effort to foster sexual intimacy and pleasure and create more sexual awakenings.
We believe that sexual health is an important part of overall health. My initial reaction was where has this been all about? It seems like porn is notoriously made for the type of sex that men want to see. So Lily, you started your career as an account. Which makes a ton of sense because the first person people think about when looking for tips in the bedroom is their accountant. So, um, basically I was in a gas, started my career as an accountant.
I worked for one of the big firms for like eight years. I was thinking about going to business school and getting my MBA. And, um, it ended up working and ended up going like beyond my wildest dreams. I remember thinking. If we made a mill, if we sold like a million dollars, that would just be insane to me, crazy. Like, could it be any more successful than that? And then we hit that and then we kept going. Then you really can make something big and realizing that I thought about like, what is the change that I want to create in the world?
I realized that it was porn for women. And even though I was, you know, a smart cookie running my business, selling millions of dollars of products, I, at the same time, I was in a relationship with my high school, sweetie. And I feel like so many people are looking for resources on how to have amazing sex, how to know their bodies better, but the only place that exists for them.
Is porn and most porn is not really great at helping you have a amazing real sex life. So we have awesome sexy porn. And then we also have companion things to help you really bring the hot things that you see into your actual sex life. Going back to accounting, how many accountants do you think secretly want to be important? Um, so yeah, maybe I need to go on there and start doing debits and credits. And it was something important in my life and that when I was having good sex, I was happier.
