After all her success in the advertising world, Cindy resigned in 2005 in order to do something different. She launched MakeLoveNotPorn at TED TALK 2009 as an attempt to counterpoint the way in which hardcore porn has become default sex education, by encouraging an open healthy dialogue around how real people have sex and then took this forward in 2012 as MakeLoveNotPorn TV. In 2011 she published Make Love Not Porn: Technology’s Hardcore Impact on Human Behavior as a short TED e-book available on Amazon and iTunes. https://makelovenotporn.tv/
