Dating App Encourages Better Dating Behaviors with New Campaign, The Rise of Consexting, and New Product Update

VANCOUVER, BC, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — New insights from dating app Plenty of Fish reveal that 91% of singles are interested in exploring healthy and fun ways to express themselves sexually1. To encourage singles to date better, Plenty of Fish is launching a new campaign that highlights “consexting” – a behavior that describes discussing boundaries and receiving consent before sexting.

“Our research shows that younger daters are already ‘consexting1,’ but nearly three-quarters (74%) of singles say sexting too soon can give the wrong impression2,” said Christina Kozloff, chief marketing officer at Plenty of Fish. “Dating should be fun, and the key is respecting boundaries and clearly communicating what works for you.”

While many singles are exploring healthy sexual expression, over one-third find the act of sending unsolicited nudes to be the most offensive dating behavior2. To further encourage positive dating behaviors, Plenty of Fish today introduced the No Dick Pic (NDP) badge, which members can add to their profiles to indicate that they aren’t interested in sending or receiving unsolicited nudes.

While sending nude photos on Plenty of Fish is prohibited (members don’t have the ability to share any unmoderated images from their device gallery, to help safeguard against inappropriate photo-sharing), it can occur off-app. To better understand how these experiences impact singles, the brand polled its members and found that 62% of singles, including 75% of women, would find value in a dating app feature that indicates that the person they are chatting with is not interested in sending unsolicited nude photos2.

To promote and support a more welcoming dating environment, for every NDP badge added to a member profile during the month of May, Plenty of Fish will make a donation to the nonprofit A Call to Men3, an organization that works to transform society by promoting healthy, respectful masculinity.

The Consextual Revolution
While unsolicited nude photos are universally offensive, 91% of singles report having a positive past experience with sexting, with 35% sexting weekly1. Certified sex therapist, relationship expert and Plenty of Fish partner Todd Baratz agrees there can be numerous benefits to sexting.

“Sexting is a communication tool that can truly enhance a connection between partners. Through sexting, people can explore intimacy and self-expression in a manner that can feel easier than in-person,” said Baratz. “The majority of singles (55%) think sexting is fun2, and I encourage daters to have honest and open conversations about what interests them – it shouldn’t be taboo.”

Plenty of Fish member insights found that sexting can elevate how singles feel about themselves and their partners1:

68% of singles say sexting can help boost self-esteem82% of single women say sexting can make them feel more confident and sexy60% of singles agree that sexting can heighten the anticipation of seeing someone41% of single women consider sexting to be an important part of romantic partnership

An IRL Gallery of Dick Pics
The new campaign builds on Plenty of Fish’s award-winning global “Gallery of Dick Pics” brand campaign, unveiled in fall 2022. Designed to highlight what constitutes an appropriate “dick” pic, the SFW (safe for work) virtual Gallery of Dick Pics features photos of wholesome guys named Richard, Richie, or Dick, i.e. “Dicks” – of all shapes and sizes.

Starting today, Plenty of Fish is bringing the Gallery of Dick Pics to life with an out-of-home activation, running through June 4. The activation includes a real-life pop-up of the virtual gallery located at a subway station in Manhattan. New Yorkers will find campaign creative has taken over the subway station, with signage found on turnstiles, stairways, walkways, digital screens and more.

From May 15-May 20 only, consumers can also engage with Plenty of Fish at a pop-up gallery gift shop, located just outside the station entrance, which will offer free coffee and swag giveaways, including premium “Burn This Dick” candles, “Fresh Dick” soap, cheeky t-shirts and more.

Additionally, the campaign is supported by out-of-home advertisements in Texas, as well as TV, influencers, social and digital nationally.

The 1.6T 2xFR4 modules are designed with a dual duplex LC connector running with 2 pairs of fibers only, which could help users to save fiber resources compared to DR8 and DR8-2 versions.

The 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2FR4 Portfolio consists of: –

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.
