In the realm where love meets liberation, Lavinia, founded by Katie Enright, is redefining pleasure. With a mission to empower individuals to embrace a more satisfying life, Lavinia’s innovative cannabis-infused gummies symbolize a union of nature’s gifts and human desires.
Emerald sat down with Katie Enright, the visionary founder behind Lavinia, to unravel the inspiration behind the launch of their latest offerings: Kinky Bites and Goodnight Kiss.
Emerald Magazine: Can you share the inspiration behind launching Kinky Bites and Goodnight Kiss this past Valentine’s Day?
Katie Enright (KE): By introducing these gummies around Valentine’s Day, I wanted to redefine this holiday for users, turning it into a celebration of exploration and open dialogue concerning sex and intimacy. Ultimately, Lavinia strives to empower individuals to embrace a more satisfying life, with nature lending a hand along the way.
Emerald: How do Kinky Bites and Goodnight Kiss align with Lavinia’s mission statement to “Live life to the climax” and promote a more liberated approach to sex?
KE: Lavinia’s vision is to empower individuals to embrace their sexuality, desires, and explorations, and if that doesn’t scream liberation, I don’t know what does. With our Kinky Bites THC sex gummies, we blend a combination of cannabis, which is a known vasodilator, with horny goat weed, maca root, and longjack. Each of these ingredients has been hand-picked to play a unique role in heightening arousal. Whereas with the Goodnight Kiss sleep gummies, we blend a combination of THC, CBD, CBN, and valerian root, all of which can help promote a more restful night. Combined with their powers, these two help people live life to the climax. After all, who doesn’t want a night of incredible intimacy, followed by incredible rest?
Emerald: In what ways do these new cannabis edibles contribute to enhancing sexual pleasure and promoting restful sleep?
KE: THC and CBD help to enhance sexual experience by increasing blood flow, reducing anxiety, heightening physical sensation, reducing discomfort, releasing oxytocin in the body, and improving recovery. With our Kinky Bites gummies, we’ve added horny goat weed to improve sexual function and energy, longjack to boost libido, and maca root for enhanced performance, energy, and mood. This makes them the perfect performance enhancer, both in the bedroom and beyond (like the boost you need for the gym or other athletic feat).
Meanwhile, with our Goodnight Kiss gummies, the combination of THC, CBD, and CBN aids in relaxation and increases the time spent asleep, while Valerian Root combats insomnia. I like to think of these gummies as the perfect combination for play and rest.
Emerald: Can you elaborate on the unique herbal experiences incorporated into Watermelon and Peach Mango flavors to ensure the efficacy of Kinky Bites and Goodnight Kiss?
KE: Our peach mango Kinky Bites include live resin and are packed with power to provide the ultimate pleasure. In the watermelon flavor, we include active THC. The ingredients are the same in both flavors in the before or after sex gummies, so it comes down to personal preference on taste—whether you’re more excited by watermelon or peach-mango. Either way, you’re in for an incredible time.
Emerald: Considering the success of Lavinia’s cannabis-infused lubricant, oh.hi, how do these new edibles fit into the brand’s overall strategy and vision for sexual wellness?
KE: Everyone should be able to experience a more pleasurable, well-rounded existence. Just like some people prefer a THC lube, others prefer THC gummies. Our goal is to make products that work for everybody because sex and cannabis should be all about inclusion.
Emerald: What initiatives has Lavinia undertaken to create a supportive community for open discussions about sexual experiences?
KE: Currently, we’re actively working on several initiatives to further this goal. By collaborating with doctors who have expert insights and answers to users’ burning questions on our platform, we have established a welcoming and judgment-free environment where anyone can confidently delve into the correlation between sex and cannabis. I truly believe a world in which sexual desire can be openly discussed and explored healthily is a happier place, and we’re excited to be part of that goal.
Emerald: What role do herbal supplements like horny goat weed, longjack, maca root, and valerian root play in enhancing the effects of THC/CBD/CBN in Kinky Bites and Goodnight Kiss?
KE: Just like you would take a combination of vitamins that work in tandem for overall health, sexual health and sleep work in the same way. By combining these natural ingredients, we can give people a little extra boost in the bedroom, whether for play or rest.
Emerald: How does Lavinia aim to make a significant impact on the romantic experiences of its consumers?
KE: We believe it’s important to foster an open environment when it comes to sexual exploration. Unfortunately, for far too long, THC and sex have been topics of conversation that are quite hush-hush. However, that has been changing in our culture for the better, and I believe it will continue to do so. It’s so important for sexual partners to be able to have open dialogue, and we want to be a part of that.
Emerald: How does Lavinia ensure that the formulation and dosages of Kinky Bites and Goodnight Kiss are safe and effective for consumers, particularly in terms of achieving desired effects without adverse reactions?
KE: Our recommended dosage for new users is half a gummy, which is 5 mg of THC. However, more experienced users may find they like taking more than the recommended dose. We designed the gummies in cute lip shapes that can easily be halved to control the dose. Everyone’s body is different, and our goal is to give you an enhanced experience that you are still present enough to enjoy.
Emerald: Are there any special promotions or events now or in the near future?
KE: We are constantly working on new products, adding new dispensaries to our roster, and expanding. Check out our site and sign up for our newsletter to stay in the know on all our dirty little secrets.
Lavinia isn’t just about products—it’s about revolutionizing experiences. By fostering open dialogue, curating potent blends of natural ingredients, and championing inclusivity, Lavinia is not only transforming romantic encounters but also reshaping cultural narratives surrounding pleasure. With eyes set on the horizon, Katie Enright and Lavinia continue to pave the way for a future where love, liberation, and cannabis-infused pleasure intertwine seamlessly.
