Our Unity Brings Empowerment

With Democrats and Republicans alike going after adult companies and professionals, and negative attacks from select groups, the field of sexuality and the adult industry need to collaborate in order to unify our voices through an association that reflects our goals and ideals. If we can do this, we can take a proactive stance rather than a reactive one. Being educated and unified is in our highest good, after all... it is OUR industry.

As professionals, we are all, in some capacity, catering sexual products or services to adults and are interested in protecting ourselves. We read the news, we seek legal advice, we may even spend a lot of time jumping through one hoop after another to remain compliant with not only current laws but looming ones.

Yet, we need a common thread, an educational community in which we ALL come together, including all the specialized organizations for the field of sexuality and the adult industry. Why not demonstrate our own professional code to show that we are law abiding, conscientious companies that are part of solutions to societal problems; not contributors?

It is high time that we demonstrate to the community that currently, such professionals, more often than not, cater to healthy sexuality. From education to entertainment we are often meeting the needs that society demands; yet often shoved into the closet like an adulterous lover. As we hide we hope we won't be destroyed by hypocritical leaders that claim to represent the very collective majority that put us into business in the first place.

When we bring pleasure, enhance sex lives and educate the sexually ignorant, why should we have to contend with unfair attempts to label us as immoral or be imposed with 'sin taxes' that are twenty-five percent or more? Are we really willing to settle as being labeled a shame based industry or can we take control of our destinies through empowering communication and unification?

Sexual Health Versus Sexual Entertainment

Sometimes, there is an unspoken division in the adult industry between those that cater to sexual health issues through therapy, education and sexual products such as personal lubricants and sex toys with those professionals that offer sexual entertainment through pornography between consenting adults.

We feel that this is an unfortunate and unnecessary division when it comes to working together to collaborate for a better tomorrow in the field of sexuality. There are exceptional business owners in both camps and we can only benefit when we work together to protect what is inherently a common interest of advancing our profession.

We do not always have to have the same sexual tastes to know that sexual freedom between consenting adults is important across the board. Providing better products & services, protecting minors, advancing and protecting our businesses are things we all have in common.

NAASAS hopes to unify the educational efforts for both professionals in the field of sexuality and the adult industry; allowing us to support one another without compromising the goals and reputation of our businesses. Join us as we advance the science and art in sexuality through our collaborative efforts in order to benefit our consumers and businesses.

It is time to come together. For as the great Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
