StorErotica Names Top 10 Influential Women in Adult Retail

CLEARWATER, Fla. — StorErotica has announced its 10 most important and influential women in adult retail today, honoring those who have been a part of the industry’s transformation.

In this special editorial, StorErotica celebrates the following: Metis Black of Tantus, Susan Colvin of CalExotics, Suki Dunham of OhMiBod, Bonnie Feingold of Honey’s Place, Sara Lee Goff of Sara’s Secret Stores, Shay Martin of Vibratex, Autumn O’Bryan of Topco Sales, Julie Stewart of Sportsheets, Tristan Taormino (adult film manufacturer/producer, author and speaker) and Rachel Venning and Claire Cavanah of Babeland.

“Even in our industry that relies on the female consumer, there is still often a lack of interest in the female contribution or respect for the female leader,” said Sportsheets’ Julie Stewart. “Thank you for this acknowledgment. It’s things like this that make StorErotica a stand-out of quality in our industry!”

To qualify, the individual had to be from one of three positions: industry manufacturer, industry distributor or storeowner. Next, since “the goal was to highlight those who are currently active,” women had to be “directly influencing the world of adult retail right now.”  

“Ultimately, we feel as if this top 10 list (and honorable mentions) does justice to the women of today’s adult retail industry,” said Dave Manack, StoreErotica’s associate publisher. “We congratulate all of these women, and thank them for their contribution to the positive progression of this industry.”
