Sex Sells - Third Season

- My parents helped me buy a vacuum pump

for making silicone-

- And my mom's in there, trimming dicks.

Look at this! - Yeah, haha.

I'm Weezy.

Join me as we go coast to coast

in search of the baddest bosses

behind the business of sex.

Dive in with me as we explore

sexual wellness and positivity

from the boardroom

to the bedroom.

Don't look at Mom!

So enjoy the ride, because "Sex Sells".

Who wants to work at the local sex doll factory?

Too late, my mother got the job.

She's never worked a day in her life,

but I think she's got this.

What are you gonna do when I have a real baby?

How much more are you gonna love her than me then?

- Oh my God, the love is just gonna pour out.

Okay, let's walk, Nini.

So what do you think?

Of Vegas?

- 'Cause you were only here when you were a kid.

- I don't really know much about Vegas.

I just know it's drugs, sex and gambling.

Anyway, so you know how you're moving to LA?

I really think it's time

that we revisit your allowance.

What?

- You get bored a lot during the day.

And?

I think it's just time for you

to find another activity, like a job.

J-O-B?

- All you do all day is call me, or go on Facebook.

I go to lunch with the girls!

- I'm just saying, gas is going up in LA,

rent's going up, and there's a factory

where dicks are going up, and it could be your job.

It's a sex doll factory.

So what's the name of my job?

Dick Trimmer?

- What? - I don't know,

I think they'll send you home with one if you want.

Okay, put two in the bag.

Come on.

Wait!

Before we go to the factory,

you need your eyes warmed up

before you see some sex dolls,

so we're about to meet Brian Sloan,

the man behind the multimillion dollar AI sex toy.

Brian Sloan, a graduate in philosophy and law.

His contribution?

Creating one of the most advanced sex toys,

revolutionizing the way men can get off.

We're looking at the Autoblow AI,

integrating cutting edge technology

to make sure we continue to do what we love.

So how do you go from law school to blowjob toys?

Like, how does that happen?

- Yeah, so at the time, 2008, 2007, really,

the pinnacle of male masturbation was

you'll use a rubber butt in a can

or maybe just a rubber butt.

A rubber butt in a can?

Yeah, that's it.

- I've always seen, like the pocket pussy,

that was the thing I knew about.

It looked like Campbell's Soup can vagina.

- Yeah, so people often think it's about me,

something that I needed for myself,

but actually, I just saw the need

for other men to have something

that was using the latest technologies of the time

to give guys a more realistic experience,

but no one was putting in the effort to make it happen.

So I just determined that was gonna be me.

- How did you know how to get it right?

- We concentrated just on making something

that gripped the penis.

Add lubrication, you can control the speed.

Look, at the time,

there wasn't something that that did that,

so I just knew that, if I built something

like that was the quality of a kitchen appliance,

people would notice the difference

between the toys and a proper appliance.

You're Betty Cocker.

Yes.

Wait, this is making me wanna ask.

Are you a man that is hella into sex?

Like, are you a freak?

Are you someone that's definitely like,

"I should be doing this"?

- People think the sex industry's about sex.

It's really about-

- Marketing? - Making people happy,

and it's just one of the many products that people buy

that can improve their lives.

- To say it's about making people happy is a good point,

but I think it's a cookie cutter way.

Because at the end of the day,

we're so scared to say the word,

we're so scared to talk about what's actually happening.

And by "we", I mean society.

'Cause we understand,

this isn't the kinkiest thing in the world.

Like, people should be using sex toys, especially men.

I think normalizing it is more important.

And in speaking of normalizing it,

how do you feel about men that think

this is gay, or using sex toys are gay?

No, no.

Men are, I think, are okay with it,

they feel shame, not because of other men,

but because of what women will think about them

for using them.

It's true because we're not

used to seeing it all the time.

There's so much on the market for women.

Have you ever used a male sex toy?

Absolutely not.

So an Autoblow is a simulator

that basically gives you a blowjob

and it emulates the feeling of one, it's a machine.

Would you be down to try one?

I guess so.

- Tell me about what you're doing now

that's become totally new age

with your new Autoblow AI.

Before us, devices just did

whatever someone at the factory programmed them to do, okay?

We did the first-ever machine learning study

of the actions that occurred during blow jobs.

So what we did, is we had five people

watch a thousand hours of blowjob videos, okay?

We made a system for them to ingest the data

so the machine-learning algorithm could understand it.

You ruined porn for them!

Yeah, it was terrible.

They didn't enjoy it.

Actually though, it was fun for the first day,

but it was like a month or two of them just doing this.

So they had to watch the blowjob videos at half speed

and we had a drawing of a penis with a head on it,

so they had to grip the head with a mouse

and they had to track the head's movement

on this drawing of the penis

to match what was happening in the film.

So, and then our software was taking

like 30 screenshots a second of the images

so that, later, the machine learning guys

could analyze them.

So we learned that pausing

is a normal thing that occurs during a blow job.

It doesn't just continue

without stopping. - Yeah, you gotta breathe!

You know, like...

So we have a few modes

that have pauses of different lengths of time.

So it might stroke 10 strokes

and then it will pause for five seconds.

Or one of them is like,

focus on the top of the penis

and then the bottom of the penis,

and then it'll do the whole penis.

So we learned this

from the machine learning study that we did.

- Wow. - Yeah.

Have you had people say

that it's better than their partners?

I wish, and that's my goal.

Just as an entrepreneur,

like, I want to deliver something that-

Well, fuck you, Brian,

you wanna just take them away from us?

Yeah, I wanna take 'em away.

I wanna deliver something that's as good

or I want to hear people say,

"That's better than a real life blow job."

Then I'll know that I've reached

the pinnacle of my ability level as an entrepreneur.

When people say, "It's just as good as, or better than

what a person can do."

- That's how a lot of women feel with certain sex toys.

- There's a sex toy called the Autoblow

where you basically put it on your dick

and it gives you an automatic blowjob.

Would you be down to use that?

Oh, he would divorce me.

Why?

- She's got a vibrator, what's the difference?

- In the beginning, how much did it cost?

- It was a hundred dollars; it was 99.95.

- How much does it cost right now, today?

- So there's two main models of devices that we sell.

There's Autoblow AI+,
