What Sinful ApS does

Sinful Group ApS, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Aarhus (Højbjerg), Denmark, is the largest sex toy retailer in Scandinavia by its own claim, operating country-specific e-commerce storefronts across 10 European markets — Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, France, UK, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, and Belgium — complemented by physical retail stores in Scandinavia. The company sells vibrators, dildos, and other adult products direct-to-consumer, differentiating on customer education, guidance, and product curation, and has publicly targeted 1 billion DKK (~€134M) in turnover by 2027. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales at retail margins, supported by PR-led brand building, with international Reuters coverage during the COVID-19 lockdown distributed across more than 100 media outlets worldwide.

In parallel, the Sinful Group operates SinfulX AI, an AI-powered adult content generation platform that produces consented, licensed AI doubles of adult performers in image, video, and audio modalities, including a 'Pro Movies' feature capable of generating custom 30-second realistic videos with voice. The platform differentiates via licensing partnerships with real, consenting performers (Angelique Rose, Georgia Koneva) under revenue-share arrangements, positioning itself as an ethical alternative to non-consensual deepfakes. The business is bootstrapped and privately held, with no disclosed institutional funding rounds, suggesting an organic, founder-controlled growth model reliant on retail cash generation rather than external capital.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Georgia KonevacoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 19 March 2026SinfulX AI partnered with digital creator and adult performer Georgia Koneva to launch a licensed AI double. Koneva's likeness is available for users to generate custom, realistic 30-second videos as part of the platform's 'Pro Movies' offering. Koneva directly shares in revenues generated through the partnership, expanding SinfulX AI's capabilities beyond image-based generation by adding voice capabilities alongside visual realism.
• Angelique RosecoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 23 December 2025SinfulX AI partnered with adult performer Angelique Rose to create 'Angelique,' an AI-generated porn character developed through a licensed partnership with a real consenting adult performer. This is a rare example of an AI adult model created with explicit approval and consent. The model enables performers to license and monetize their likenesses through AI, creating a new revenue stream beyond traditional live-action formats.
