Amora, a new themed interactive tourist attraction has opened in London this week. The theme is love, dating and sex.
We are in the process of arranging a partnership with them, so I was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of Amora while they were still putting the final touches on the place. I must say I was pretty impressed, although the site of rugged builders putting the final touches on the “orgasm tunnel” and the likes was rather amusing, to say the least.
Amora manages to be very explicit, but stylish at the same time while maintaining mass-market appeal, which is pretty impressive in itself.
The hi-tech interactive displays are very inspired. My personal favourite was the “find the G-spot” game with life-size body casts (male and female) that light up and moan when you hit the right spot. The “kissing mirror” was not operational when I visited, but promises to be very educational as well. I wonder what the tourists will make of it.

Many dating sites employ moderators to weed out the scammers, but that is not always enough to stop all of them from getting through. Nasty, unethical sites lull their users into a false sense of security, but really what we need is some serious online dating safety education.
How much information is available on your site to educate people about potential dangers? Is it available somewhere obvious, or is it hidden somewhere at the back of the site? The potential existence of scammers on the site is not something any site owner would like to talk about, but really, it’s something that has to be done as part of our responsibility to our customers. Like everything else that is not a positive feature, it should be handled delicately, but it should definitely be handled, rather than swept under the carpet.
