[ MUSIC ] Just to clarify, when I talk about socially acceptable, what I mean by that is that we are presenting real world sex. in a way that that's never been done before TechCrunch of a tech world wrote a piece on us in April, which really got what we're doing. It said the internet in the tech world has self- divided into porn and non- sexual content, and some that make love not porn are filling the gap between sexual content that isn't porn. We don't dictate what real world sex is but We operate like nobody else does on the Internet around the soleria. My background is 30 years working in brand building, marketing, and advertising. I know the single most important factor for any brand is trust. It's strictly important for us, because we are encouraging people who've never done this before, to video themselves having sex. And to share it on our platform. So, first of all you cannot complete our submissions process unless everybody in your video is over 18, it's fully consensual. We require two forms of visual ID for every participant, including by they way, if you've chosen to have somebody Behind the camera. You may not see them, we need to know who they are. THe moment you submit we engage with you personally. Our wonderful Madam curator Sarah Beele, our assistant curator Arial Martinez will Skype with you, answer questions, reassure you. Your video is only visible and on our platform to our community by members who actually paid to rent it And the reason we operate a rent and screen model as opposed to a download and own is because our commitment to you is the moment that anything changes, your relationship, your life, your circumstances, your mind, you tell us. We take the videos down. They're gone forever. You can be anonymous, wear masks, faces and shadow. Ladies, please consider subletting to makelovenotporn. tv. And we actually are building a makelovenotporn star community. We get to know you in the real world. We hold events. I've held two drink parties at my apartment in New York. When we invite our makelovenotporn stars to come and meet each other, meet us, We would love out make love not porn stars one day to be a celebration of YouTube stars for the same reasons. Their individuality, their authenticity their realists and we'd also like them to make as much money. And theres also an educational component to this. Critically important and I dont know how many of you as a parent are aware of this, the average age at which a child is first exposed to hardcore porn online is eight. And a global study done last year indicates that age has now dropped to six. This is not because eight- year- olds and six- year- olds go looking for porn, they don't. It's a function of what an addictional world we live in today. It's utterly inevitable. They stumble across it. Parents write to us all the time about this And this is happening at a time when parents still find it very difficult to talk to their kids about sex. And back in my day, if you're one of those parents, who prepared to at least try and have the conversation. It used to be pure and logistical. This goes into this, when a man loves a woman, the birds and the bees. The conversation I have today is very different. I won't be as graphic as I normally am on the stage about this. So, one of the reasons we're raising funding, we're looking to raise $ 2 million, 1. 3 million pounds to build what I characterize as the Khan Academy of sex education. For those of you familiar with Khan Academy, the online education platform, Khan Academy tutors on every other topic except this one. The exploding Ed- Tech sector is failing to address sex, relationships, intimacy. We want to build Make Love Not Porn Academy on the same principles as Make Love Not Porn TV user generated crowd source revenue sharing Invite sex educators every where in the world to submit their materials, videos, tools, coursework papers. We'll publish segmented by age appropriateness. If you are a parent going, " Oh my god, my son just read a source about this" you can go here. A teacher with a class of 12- 14 year olds go here. An adult there We will charge to subscribe, download at a school you know, bulk order. By the way huge revenue screen. And we will split the revenue 50 / 50 with its creator. Because currently Nobody goes in to sex education to make money, I'd like to change that. In a tech world, where technology is pushing us further apart in to our own separate virtual worlds, at Make Love Not Porn, we're using technology to bring people closer together. And to build better communication around sex, to lead to better relationships, to lead to better lives.
