WHY PLAYBOY?

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; When I was determining how I wanted to present my work, I realized I didn’t want it to be just your average portfolio. The main reason that I went into sex toy/object design in the first place was because I wanted to spread a message. I want to reframe the way that we think about pleasure, kinks, bondage, and just sex in general. 
To do this I wanted to find an inspiration that had the foundations for this message.&#38;nbsp;
&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; It all began when I was designing my physical portfolio, I was thinking about the cover and for some reason Playboy came to mind. Their iconic cover pages and what they represent lays the perfect groundwork for my intention. I want people who view my work and my portfolio to see what Playboy isn’t: passion, pleasure, and real bodies.&#38;nbsp;When put in the context of this iconic brand of misogyny, I hope that people are able to see how detrimental Playboy has been to how we view and discuss sexuality.&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;When I was considering the cover of my physical portoflio, the well-known cover of a woman in a white dress came to mind. Clean, sleek, and with opportunity for intimacy. The reason that I don’t define Playboy’s cover as intimiacy is because of how it is shot through the male gaze. The model is edited to be slender with a large butt, and the man is entirely cut out aside from his hand, which is undressing her behind her back. Though it is implied that there is consent here, I still don’t believe that this sets a good understanding for sexual interactions. This is not to say that having a coy, sneaky moment cannot be sexy, though setting this as a standard for intimacy is very male-centric and hardly focused on pleasure for anyone but the viewer and the man undressing the woman. &#38;nbsp; The photo that I chose to replace it with, holds sentimental value. When my parents were having my brother, they did a maternity shoot and framed one of the shots. This photo was on the wall of my house as I was growing up, so when I was thinking of a photo that represents intimacy in the way I desired, my mind led me back to this photo. This photo pictures a pregnant woman lovingly being held by her lover. The non-sexualization of intimacy makes this photo that much more perfect for me. Not to mention how it refuses to fetishize pregnant women, which are ususally only represented in some fetish context. Thanks to my parent’s generocity, I am able to use this photo on both my website and portfolio. I also believe this is a cute easter egg within my work, because it shows how understanding, kind, and supportive my parents have been as I explore being a sex product designer as well as my own sexuality and gender: not to mention how they are incredible role models for intimacy and love.&#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp; As I began ideating for my business card, I realized that I could make custom lube packets. Not only would this be a fun, stand-out card, but it also helps to subconsiously spread the word about how essential lube is for everyone. When I first started trying to find a manufacturer, I primarily found male condoms, this sparked the idea of making vaginal condoms be my business card, but because my work isn’t made just for people with vulvas, I stuck with the lube packets. When planning my design, I wanted to connect to my otherwise Playboy-related presentation of my work, and so I took some inspiration from the stamp seen on their April 1975 cover.&#38;nbsp;

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Luca SusacLuca Susac (they/he) is a queer sex product designer from California, who early on, faced the ways that a limited sex education in an inherently binary, heteronormative society can affect how and if one explores their identity. Not to mention the lack of education regarding any kinks, BDSM, or fetishes: even in the context of safe practices. When they noticed this vastly vague and neglected conversation they knew it was something to get involved with.&#38;nbsp; 
Before coming out as queer, Luca explored the idea of defining themselves as asexual, this concept was overturned as they realized that they simply weren’t sexually attracted to men. Years later, Luca realized that this misconception was not only groomed by the sex education that they received, but also by the pressure to conform to this binary and heteronormative society. As Luca began exploring their gender and sexuality they realized that the ideas of sex and gender as we know them needs to be redefined. Not only does Luca work to conceptualize these miseducations, but they work to create a more open minded space where one can explore the full spectrum of gender, sexuality, and kinks/fetishes.

When Luca was studying Product Design (known professionally as Industrial Design) at Parsons, they couldn’t quite find a niche that felt right. While their classmates enjoyed designing lighting, chairs, toys, shoes, etc, Luca was struggling to find something that fit their interests. During this time they began analyzing their gender and sexuality on a deeper level, and it was these conversations within queer communities and with their queer friends sparked a passion for the subject within Luca. In their junior year, Luca began shifting their work more toward sex toy design and this spark only grew, and quickly. At first, they struggled to verbalize their ideas for fear of judgment, but this anxiety only opened their eyes more to the importance of the work. 

Luca’s work tailors to different aspects of sex that need improvement or have room for redesign. One of the key components of their work is normalizing the conversations we have around sex. Something they noticed early on was how people, even their peers, shied away from the topic of sex. When they were getting into sex toys, Luca would often attempt to have conversations with folks about sex as a concept and personal experience; They noticed almost immediately that even the most open-minded people’s voices would soften if they knew people were within earshot. This encouraged Luca to speak even louder. 

Because sex is such a taboo subject, Luca’s work aims to create a safe and engaging space where people can talk, learn, and question everything. In particular, Luca enjoys shedding light on specific kinks/fetishes that have been demonized or other-ised by our culture. As of now, they have made products that cater to kinks such as: restraint, impact play, pet play, dominance and submission, voyeurism, and knife play, to name a few. Luca only plans to learn more about the BDSM and kink communities and find ways to represent them through revolutionary design. 

If you have ideas or want to engage in the work, feel free to reach out to them via email. They also plan on starting a podcast to share the conversations that they have around intimacy, partnership, sex, and much more: keep an eye out, and if you would like to be in an episode or submit a question visit the ‘MORE’ tab on xxcurricular.com.
