Alexandra Fine: Co-Founder of Dame Products on sexual wellness and taking the MTA to court over ad censorship.

Dream Nation Love

Alexandra Fine is the Co-Founder and CEO of Dame which launched in 2014 after joining forces with Janet Lieberman, an MIT-trained engineer. Dame is a woman-powered company in every way and that’s why you’re hearing this story during March 2022 which is also Women’s History Month.

Al is a lifelong student of sexual health, having earned her Master’s in clinical psychology with a concentration in sex therapy from Columbia University. A Forbes’ 30 Under 30 awardee, Al has transformed her role as a CEO into one of a dedicated activist for women’s health, gender equity, and prioritizing pleasure.

On the show, Alexandra talks about sexual wellness, closing the pleasure gap, non-binary perspectives, The Sims BDSM, and a ton more. Our conversation is mostly focused on Dame’s three-year-long court battle against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Their historic triumph over the MTA validates both the existence of the woman-owned company as well as of female pleasure and wellness. Ensuring that company has the right to advertise on subways, buses, and commuter rail. Places that have long welcomed male-focused brands like Ro (Roman), Hims, as well as breast enhancements, and more. This is a big deal since the MTA transports over 11 million passengers a day. That’s a lot of customers. This is also a giant win for free speech and anti-censorship. Congrats to Dame Products and the team.
