PENNSAUKEN, N.J. – To help keep the adult industry connected and engaged through the widespread shutdowns and sheltering in place that has come with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Williams Trading Co. brand ambassador Paul Reutershan created the Facebook group Pleasure Professionals Place – and his peers have responded by signing up in droves.

“The purpose of the group is to allow industry professionals to stay connected, discuss various issues, opportunities, business, and trends,” Williams Trading stated in a press release about the Facebook group, adding that what it really does “is help people keep connected, keep spirits up, and overall promote a sense of togetherness during a very trying time.”

In one week, the group has grown to over 700 members, becoming a “great way for both veterans and newbies in the industry to connect with one another,” Williams Trading said in its statement. “Posts range from business questions to memes, to fun discussions to meanderings down memory lane.”

Reutershan said the idea for the group came to him late at night on Easter.

“I was looking at different industry groups and didn’t really see one that was available for all facets of people in our business,” Reutershan said. “What a wonderful surprise this has been to get connected with hundreds of industry professionals from so many different arenas. It appears there was a desire for connection during this extraordinary time, and I’m thrilled to be a part of bringing our ‘family’ together.”

Williams Trading added that the Pleasure Professionals Place group is “not just a great way to connect and network with industry professionals, though that is definitely a plus; there is a spirit of camaraderie that has sprung to life in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, and members are coming together in a way that makes it clear why the adult pleasure products industry is so enduring.”
