“They say sex sells, and I’m not here to do it any ordinary way!”
Founder, Joana Marquez
As Joana takes a puff of her CBD oil pen and fills in her travel dates for the first quarter of the year…“I’m not your average Jo and neither will be your experience with DEVOUR.” Intensive travel is a major key to keeping her clients happy with the most innovative adult novelties. “My clients are well traveled, cultured, hip and eagerly waiting to have experiences like never before, I must always be a step ahead and ready to wow them.”
Joana along with her team travel all over the world to curate the most eye opening products. “I find it funny that I sell adult toys for a living being that I was a late bloomer and lost my virginity in my 20’s. All my friends were having sex and abortions in high school and I was busy getting fingered, feared cock and mastered the art of tease and denial leaving my victims in blue balls mode,” she bursts into laughter. “When I finally had sex I was so disappointed. I couldn’t believe this was what my friends were ragging about.”
Several years went by and Joana still hadn’t experienced her first orgasm. “I thought something was wrong with me. I googled to see if this was common and indeed it was. The best advise I found was to masturbate and to explore my own body to know my trigger points.”
That journey took several years and Joana grew bored and started exploring BDSM…
“My best friend at the time was a Dominatrix and introduced me to the lifestyle I was deeply intrigued and dug deep reading books trying to understand this underworld all while vigorously still getting to know myself 1 on 1, masturbating still trying to catch that orgasm. Let me tell you, I developed an immense inventory of batteries the day I had my first orgasm and I was surprised I squirted too! I was so proud of my discovery I wanted to have sex and show off my new trick!”
To her surprise years later she finds out her parents first business when migrating fo the US from Cuba was an Adult VHS store. Her mom told her how her and dad ran the store and how they had to manually apply late fees. Her mother confessed to her that she wanted to be just like Vanessa Del Rio, one of the most prolific porn starts of the late 70s. ” was
