LOVER LETTERS - ISSUE XIV 💌
February Edition
February Edition
Hello Lovers,
For us it’s been a really loving month all around. Not just romantic love, but creative love, self-love, friend love, and the kind of collective warmth that keeps us going through winter. Crocus and daffodils and tulips are out and we also received many a rose.
A few February highlights:
We spent a delicious evening at Kink in the Archive, with some of our Lovers lighting up the room in very different (and very perfect) ways:
• Miss May led a live Domme session — controlled, electric, utterly unforgettable.
• Scotty read monster porn (one of my fave genres) to a rapt audience.
• Ruby dipped into vintage Sex Manuals, reminding us that filth has always been archival.
(See pictured below!)
Across the month, our ongoing collaborations with WISP and CHEEX continued to flourish, and LELO reviews across the board with 14 of our talents.
In panel spaces:
• Scotty and Miss Gold spoke on a SELF-LOVIN’ panel at Selfridges, bringing pleasure into the mainstream.
• Ruby spoke at Urban Outfitters, continuing her run of thoughtful, funny and culture-forward sex conversations.
We also kicked off a new relationship with audio porn company Bloom Stories, working with Leonie and Polyphilia — a partnership we’re genuinely excited about and can’t wait to grow.
And on the cinematic side, Lucy’s new film IN HER NATURE with Erika Lust was released — a beautiful addition to an already stunning body of work.
All in all, February felt connective. Too busy but Soft. Hot. Generous. The kind of month that reminds us why we do this work and who we get to do it with.
Very excited for a slower pace into March and the start of growing season.
Happy Valentine’s, Lovers — in all its forms 💘.
With love,
Helena
Director & Founder @ Lover Management

Lucy Huxley x Erika Lust’s New Film
Set in the open air, IN HER NATURE follows an encounter shaped by ritual, nature, and deep attunement.
Lucy Huxley guides Lalo Gaspar through an experience where stones, water, rope, and breath replace convention, and power grows through attention rather than force. Filmed with a slow, cinematic gaze, the session unfolds like a ceremony, moving naturally from intensity to tenderness. A sensual exploration of surrender, presence, and aftercare.
Upcoming Events
One Night In The Archive
19 March | 7pm | Bishopsgate Institute
One Night presents an evening of subversive celebration, reflection, and sexual education at the Bishopsgate Institute.
Curated by One Night — FLINTA / Femme Only play party, which has since evolved into a broader event series encompassing socials, panels, and collaborations — this evening will be opening its doors to all genders as a space to foster friendships, spark conversations, and build meaningful connections.
Presented in Bishopgate’s Front Library for your viewing pleasure, One Night’s founder Miss Gold will work with UK Fetish Archive to hand-select a collection of images, documents, and ephemera on LGBTQIA+ history, politics, and culture to highlight the histories of women, lesbians, and sex workers. This will be accompanied by a series of performances and discussions over the night.

Lover Highlights
Talent Announcement: Meet Connie
Connie aka @thefirstdatediaries is a queer, polyamorous lifestyle Domme based in New York City, award-winning sex educator, porn scholar, and proud chronic dater navigating intimacy in the modern age. A Brown University graduate whose thesis focused on pornography and culture, she has received multiple grants and awards for her research. With over five years of experience across sex education, survivor peer support, and kink literacy, Connie brings thoughtful insight and lived experience to her work.
Since discovering kink communities and sex-positive spaces in her early twenties, she has been passionate about helping others explore desire, agency, and pleasure with confidence. She has worked across play party and kink event spaces, and has collaborated with organisations including Erika Lust and Cornell University’s Act for Youth in official sex education capacities.
Her work bridges education and culture, spanning online dating, sexual wellness, sex tech, and adult media, always with a sharp understanding of audience psychology and emerging trends. Through her Substack, Get Fcked* — a newsletter for adventurous romantics navigating modern dating — and her wider creative practice, she demystifies modern intimacy with clarity, wit, and depth.
Part educator, part ghostwriter, part pleasure product advocate, Connie sits at the intersection of intimacy and industry. She champions ethical non-monogamy, kink literacy, and survivor-centred practice, making conversations about sex smarter, safer, and far more interesting.
We're beyond thrilled to welcome Connie to the Lover family ♥️
