INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
- What is nsfw?
- Of all the things you could be doing, why this? What is the source of your motivation?
- What is the common glue or bond that holds your community together? What are the unique elements of nsfw that brings people together? Do people just want to have sex? Is it more than that?
- What are the stereotypes you hear about your community that you would like to challenge?
- Your brand is millennial focused. Older people like having sex too. Is there a generational difference? Thinking Traditional values, religion, marriage, polygamy. Feel threatened?
- Your phone rang. Mom called she found out. I don’t want to put words in your mouth. Did you feel guilty, shame? If so, Why? What was the rule in your head you were breaking?
- Indiefashion, socialyte, nylon. Did you view nsfw as a lifestyle brand from the beginning? Was that the opportunity you saw? Or you just like going to sex parties or throwing them in your apartment and thought i could do this better? Then the lifestyle, sex education, and agency part came after to legitimize it?
- What is the biggest barrier to growth? Shame? Fear? If i ask people a question. Do you like to have sex? Yes. People are sexual creatures. Do you like to party? Yes. People like parties. Why not combine the two? But then something mental kicks in and stops people from going.
- Sex positive culture and strong opinions. Highly sensitive and strongly opinionated community. I don’t want to sound naive or insensitive (or even the fact that i have to say that as a disclaimer in fear of saying something that might offend). Why do other sex positive communities get so upset or feel threatened by what you’re doing? You have said they use safety as a reason to meddle into your affairs. Is it jealousy? Is it that they’re so ideologically passionate and focused they just can’t find the right balance of running it as a business vs a passion project? Why are people so strongly opinionated?
- Are there people out there who secretly want to watch you fail? Why? What’s their motivation? Does that further motivate you? To prove them wrong?
- About you..What’s been your own biggest personal struggle or fear that you’ve had to overcome in building out this community?
- Love, family. Whats the plan?
- What is something you wish someone had told you 5 years ago, or you had told yourself, that you had to learn on your own? But would have made life so much easier had you known.
- Who is the right person for this community and how can they get involved. Whats the range? From the least to most
