ParisHilton; HarryPotter; Playboy; AARP Among 1st To Own a .Sex Domain Name

Posted on the 03 September 2015 by Worldwide @thedomains

The new gTLD .Sex went into the first day of the Sunrise on September 1st where trademark holders registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse can register .Sex domain names.

Over 700 .Sex domain names have been registered.

Google, Apple, Microsoft, Time Warner and Marriott seemed to register the most .Sex domains to date.

With some of the trademarks there are some interesting .sex domains, including Office.sex, JustEat.Sex, Swift.sex; Priceless.Sex; Safari.sex

Then there is MTV.sex, which the Network could really use judging by Sunday’s Video Music Awards show and Zumba.Sex

The social networks registered their .Sex domain names so there is also a Facebook.sex, Instagram.Sex Twitter.sex, Tweet.Sex and Vine.sex

.Sex domain name registrations that you might not expect to see include:

HappyPotter.sex, Crayola.sex, aflac.sex, aflacDuck.sex, Batman.sex, Superman.sex; GameofThrones.sex, Harvard.sex, and AARP.sex

As usual some generic words which somehow got into the TMCH resulted in generic .Sex domain registrations including; Airport.Sex; April.Sex;, Caroline.Sex, Hotel.Sex and Hotels.sex, Next.sex, Weekday.sex and Wonderful.Sex

Very few companies in the adult space have registered a .Sex domain name. I only found two Playboy.sex, literotica.sex.

The Sunrise period for .sex ends on October 1, 2015 and I’m sure there will be a lot more domains registered by then.

The ICM Registry which operate .XXX, .Sex, .Adult and .Porn received around 4,000 domain name registrations each for .porn and .adult during their Sunrise period.

Here is the list of .Sex Sunrise Domains so far.

We will keep you updated.
