afterglow's Lilly Sparks to Talk 'The Future of Sex' at SXSW Panel

AUSTIN, Texas — Lilly Sparks, the founder of women-led erotic wellness site afterglow, will be a featured speaker at "The Future of Sex: As Told by Women" in-person panel at South by Southwest (SXSW) next month.

The hour-long seminar will highlight and explore the "challenges and triumphs" of the sexual wellness industry's newest leaders, as well as focus on innovation, tech and the "seismic cultural shifts" in the business in 2022 and beyond.

"This SXSW panel is another step towards releasing the shame and stigma we have around sex in our society; 50% of women don't orgasm during sex, so the status quo is not working. Having this panel of accomplished, smart, talented women share the stage to talk about sex is a revolutionary act, and I'm proud to be bringing the future to life," said Sparks.

The in-person discussion is set for Wednesday, March 14; click here for details.
