“The items we create bring
joy, help romance bloom and leave our consumers feeling fulfilled in their lives.”
One of our first partnerships was with Dr. Laura
Berman. We partnered together to create the Dr. Laura
Berman Intimate Basics collection. This collection
of products focused on sexual health and wellness.
Dr. Laura Berman is a world-renowned sex and
relationship expert, best-selling author and a leader in
her field. This was a perfect partnership and has been
going strong for over 14 years.
Today, we’re working with Dr. Jill McDevitt, our
resident sexologist. Dr. Jill is the only person in her field
who possesses three degrees in human sexuality. With
these credentials and her vibrant personality, we’ve
been able to help so many people. Dr. Jill provides
education on sexual health and wellness through online
video tutorials, product reviews, how-to tips, and more.
Talk about your charitable work—it seems to be a big
priority for the company.
Charitable contributions are incredibly important
to CalExotics because we believe in giving back to our
local community. We want to make an impact and help
enrich all lives. Over the last 25 years, we’ve donated
staff time and resources to assist several charities in
need.
Our mission of promoting and supporting sexual
health and wellness also transcends to our charitable
work. One example is our unique and inclusive Inspire
line. We’ve partnered with Living Beyond Breast Cancer
(LBBC) to create the stunning Inspire collection. These
products aim to improve the lives of women impacted
by breast cancer, with a portion of the proceeds
benefiting LBBC.

information and a community of support. They assist people with all types and stages of
breast cancer.
In addition to supporting LBBC, we also support many local and national charities.
These include the American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Free Speech Coalition,
Living with Change, Priceless Pets and more.
How do you keep up your passion for running your company? What drives you?
It’s easy to be passionate about work when you love what you do. I love helping enrich
people’s lives and helping them discover how to take charge of their happiness. I’m also
extremely passionate about promoting sexual health and wellness with our products.
I believe the items we create bring joy, help romance bloom and leave our consumers
feeling fulfilled in their lives. This is what life is all about, and this drives me to be better
every single day.
My CalExotics family also helps drive me. I’ve known many of the people here for
over ten, fifteen and twenty-five years. They’re one of the reasons why this company is so
successful. As a business, you can have great ideas, great products, but it’s the people who
make a company great. They’re the ones who put the heart and warmth into what you do,
and I believe we have the best team in the industry.
