The Business of Sex w/ Dominnique Karetsos

<p>In this episode of Seggs Talk Radio, the host interviews Dominnique Karetsos, founding partner at Amboy Street Ventures and a strategic advisor to Testy, about the business of pleasure, sexual health, women’s health, and money. They discuss how COVID accelerated sexual wellness (Cult Beauty saw an 800% increase in vibrator sales) and how telehealth shifted conversations about issues like erectile dysfunction, which men may wait up to eight years to discuss with a provider. They explore why STI testing remains taboo, how language and “social permission” shape behavior, and why brands like Testy should guide users through results, care pathways, and partner disclosure.</p><p><strong>SPONSOR</strong> 🧪</p><p>Seggs Talk Radio is brought to you by⁠ ⁠⁠Testie (<a href="http://testiehealth.com/show" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">testiehealth.com/show</a>)⁠⁠⁠, which offers nationwide walk-in STI testing.
