The Washington Post published last Friday a belated full obituary for Adam & Eve founder and sexual expression icon Phil Harvey, who passed away at 83 on Dec. 2, 2021.
Through its websites, mail-order catalogs and ever-growing chain of franchise stores — which reportedly experienced a record-breaking year despite the pandemic — Adam & Eve’s unique and unrivaled multiplatform marketing approach has made it arguably the most successful retail distributor of sex-related merchandise for the past half-century.
Adam & Eve founder Phil Harvey and his company Phil Harvey Enterprises (PHE) have donated $20,000 to fund the Free Speech Coalition’s legal challenge to 18 U.S.C. 2257 and 2257A.
Overall, Harvey painted an optimistic picture of the immediate future of the industry, calling the industry "recession-proof" and citing the nomination of David Ogden for deputy U.S. attorney general as a good sign.
The Free Speech Coalition announced today that Adam & Eve founder Phil Harvey will serve as its keynote speaker at the membership meeting during the XBIZ Conference.
