Playboy and Penthouse Embrace Cryptocurrency You Can Earn Watching Pornography

The Vice Industry Token partners with legacy brands.

Even legacy brand Playboy Enterprises, Inc. is joining the cryptosex craze!

Last month, the company announced it is developing a digital wallet that will allow consumers to pay for its online content with leading cryptocurrencies, including Vice Industry Tokens (VIT). Playboy expects to release it at the end of the year.

The best part?

By watching adult content, consumers will also be able to earn VIT, a feature that makes this digital currency stand out from others trying to break into the adult market.

Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Operations for Playboy, Reena Patel, said in a press statement:

“This innovation gives the millions of people who enjoy our content, as well as those in the future who participate in our casual gaming, AR and VR platforms, more choices with regard to payment and in the case of VIT, an opportunity to be rewarded for engaging with Playboy offerings.”

Playboy’s move to embrace VIT echoes those of Exxxtasy TV [NSFW] (a Canada-based adult entertainment movie channel) and even rival brand Penthouse, which had both previously signed on to start letting consumers spend and earn VIT on their platforms.

“This industry has been a technology leader from the start,” said VIT CEO Stuart Duncan about the Penthouse deal, adding that partnering with VIT was “the next logical step for an iconic brand like Penthouse.”

Vice Industry Token isn’t your run of the mill, single use case #cryptocurrency. Here’s just SOME of the things that our #blockchain and multi-use #UtilityToken can do! #ViceIndustryToken #VIT #TokenizeTheWorld #Decentralized #Porn #AdultIndustry #mondaythought #infographic pic.twitter.com/Z9Ih4ml6Vu

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
