Levine became best known by his nickname
TV shows, including seasons 1, 2 and 5 of
Bravo’s Millionaire Matchmaker. Levine started
his company, CNV.com, in 1995 by opening
an online mall selling everything from watches
to sneakers—and also sex toys. But after a few
months, he recalled, “the most traffic, sales
and profits came from sex toys. So I decided to
become the King of Sex Toys!”
Levine bought the domain SexToy.com for
$70 and created the first affiliate white-label
system for adult products. He also has been
running an online distribution company called
SexToyClub.com since 1999. In 2015, CNV
started AdultShopping.com, its latest white-label
marketing platform, and has quickly launched
sites for many of the top manufacturers,
marketers and websites in the adult Industry.
“We are excited to have Dave Levine giving
the keynote address at ANE,” said Beth Noonan,

event manager at AVN Media Network. “Not
only does Dave have great knowledge about the
adult industry, but his viewpoint comes from the
rapidly growing online world. And he is funny!”
