Imagine a place where the adult retail world spills its secrets, swaps war stories, and cracks jokes that’d make your grandma blush. No, it’s not a seedy bar after a trade show—it’s Pleasure Professionals Place, or P3 to its 4,300+ members. This private Facebook group just hit its fifth anniversary, and it’s become the beating heart of the sex toy industry’s networking scene. From gritty wholesale debates to celebratory wins, P3 is where pros go to get real.
A Safe Space for Adult Retail Hustlers
Born in April 2020, P3 was the brainchild of industry vet Paul Reutershan, a sales ambassador for Williams Trading. The COVID lockdowns had folks trapped at home, desperate for connection. Reutershan saw the gap and built a digital clubhouse for the pleasure industry. “I thought 1,000 members would be a win,” he says. “Now we’re thousands deep, and it’s still growing.”
What makes P3 special? It’s not just a group—it’s a community. Moderators like Molly Romeo of Holiday Products and Tori Titus-McCrobie of Paradise Marketing keep the vibe tight. They’re not cops; they’re facilitators, nudging conversations toward collaboration while squashing drama. And trust me, with over 4,000 strong personalities, that’s no small feat.
From Lockdown Blues to Industry Glue
P3 kicked off during the pandemic’s darkest days, when the adult retail world was reeling. Stores were shuttered, supply chains were a mess, and nobody knew what was next. The group became a lifeline. “People were raw,” Titus-McCrobie recalls. “They’d post about burnout, loneliness, even loss. But nobody judged. That’s what set the tone.”
Sometimes it was memes and dumb jokes. Other times, it got real. People opened up, and we were all just trying to get through it together.

Early threads were a mix of venting sessions and brainstorming hubs. Retail workers swapped tips on navigating price hikes. Sex educators pitched their services. Someone would drop a spicy meme to lighten the mood. It wasn’t polished—it was human. And that’s why it worked.
What’s Cooking in P3 Today?
Fast-forward to 2025, and P3 is a well-oiled machine. The group’s invite-only setup keeps it exclusive but not elitist—anyone serious about adult retail can join, from newbies to grizzled vets. Daily posts run the gamut:
- Sales reps hunting for their next big break.
- Shop owners griping about tariff impacts or crowing about new product lines.
- Consultants offering workshops on everything from kink education to retail displays.
- The occasional parody post that has everyone cackling.
Romeo puts it best: “It’s a hive mind. We solve problems together.” Whether it’s decoding a new regulation or sharing a press release, P3 is where the industry’s pulse beats loudest.
Keeping the Drama Low, Vibes High
With 4,000+ members, you’d expect P3 to be a hot mess of egos and shade. But it’s not. “Drama’s minimal,” Romeo says. “Most folks respect the rules: be kind, don’t bash competitors.” Sure, there’s the odd pot-stirrer, but they’re quickly sidelined. The group’s culture—built on mutual respect and shared struggles—keeps things civil.
Titus-McCrobie’s Tuesdays With Tori livestream is a prime example of P3’s positive energy. What started as a side gig has become a staple, featuring candid chats with industry heavyweights. “I wouldn’t have had the guts to launch it without P3’s support,” she admits. “This group gave me a platform to shine.”
Why P3 Matters in 2025
The sex toy industry isn’t static. Tariffs, cultural shifts, and tech breakthroughs keep everyone on their toes. P3’s strength is its ability to adapt. Members debate sexual wellness trends, swap notes on eco-friendly packaging, or tackle thorny political issues head-on. It’s not just talk—it’s actionable intel that shapes businesses.
Reutershan has no plans to overhaul the group. “Why mess with what works?” he says. But he’s open to future growth. Could P3 spawn a podcast or a conference? Maybe. For now, it’s thriving as is, fueled by its members’ passion.
The Heart of Adult Retail
P3 isn’t just a Facebook group—it’s a mirror of the adult retail world’s grit and heart. It’s where a rookie clerk can ask for advice and get answers from a CEO. Where a bad day can turn into a group laugh. Where the industry’s future gets hashed out, one post at a time.
“Without P3, we’d still be connected,” Titus-McCrobie says. “But not like this. Not with this energy.” In a world of algorithms and corporate noise, P3 is a rare gem: a place where real people, real problems, and real solutions collide.
