Inspired by Steve Jobs' use of psychedelics to boost creativity, a sex toy entrepreneur explains how he came up with his business idea while microdosing (by TheCannaWriter)
Joe Vela, founder of Emojibator, came up with the business idea for fun, shameless sex products after microdosing on psychedelics — one way some entrepreneurs activate their creativity.
"I never want to rush into doing [mushrooms or LSD]," he said. The artist and business leader approaches psychedelics as a sacrament rather than recreation. "It was about having a positive impact on the world," he said. The thought led Vela to ask himself how he could help people and contribute to society and the sex industry in a significant fashion. "Before Emojibator, there really wasn't anyone offering safe, quality, shame-free pleasure products at this price point," he said, whose products retail between $29 and $89 per item.
This year's iteration pivoted due to the stay-at-home orders across the globe, leading Masturbation Month to focus on mindfulness during the pandemic. Vela said Masturbation Month had more visits than any prior year. "That's kind of our contribution to the current climate," Vela said. He said he hopes that his efforts will help advance the discussion around masturbation, hopefully leading to credible studies from prominent research institutes.
