Adam & Eve

America's Most Trusted Name in Adult Products

About Me


Adam & Eve is the nation's largest marketer of adult products with millions of satisfied customers in the United States and all over the world. Founded in 1970, Adam & Eve is also one of the oldest names in the rapidly evolving adult industry. Adam & Eve is the flagship company of PHE, Inc.. While Adam & Eve caters to a general audience, PHE also owns several smaller companies that focus on meeting customers' special needs. For instance, Adam & Eve Pictures produces original titles with Adam & Eve contract stars Carmen Luvana and Austyn Moore. They are responsible for the award-winning movies Pirates, Rawhide, and many others.
Unlike many similarly sized companies, PHE - the parent company of Adam & Eve - is owned by a large number of its employees. As of January 2007, 77 employees owned shares in the company and that number is constantly growing as employees are rewarded for their experience and accomplishments. By owning a personal stake in the success of Adam & Eve and PHE, our employees are more motivated than ever to provide our customers with the best possible service while ensuring our relationships with vendors remain cordial, honest and lasting.
Visitors to Adam & Eve often find themselves surprised. The company is based on a 10-acre site in historic Hillsborough, North Carolina – operating from our 110,000 sq. ft. warehouse and a three-story office building. It is one of the largest private employers in Orange County, North Carolina with a diverse staff of nearly 375 people, including recent high school and college graduates, new parents and white-haired grandmothers. Apart from signed posters of adult stars and representatives in the call center praising the merits of a new video, there's very little on the surface to distinguish Adam & Eve from any other company in America. But the company promotes a very employee-friendly environment, as demonstrated by a high retention rate. Great benefits like half-day Fridays, personal days throughout the year and quarterly performance bonuses promote a rare family-like atmosphere at Adam & Eve that's the envy of companies throughout the nation.
Adam & Eve is also heavily committed to public service. Employees have organized a committee promoting public service projects. The company donates a large portion of revenues every year to local charities, schools, community groups, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Relay for Life and the Special Olympics. The Hillsborough-Orange County Chamber of Commerce recently named Adam & Eve's parent company, PHE, Business of the Year – partly for its outstanding corporate citizenship and community outreach programs.
Additionally, each year we donate over 25% of our profits to international charitable organizations including DKT International. DKT International has provided millions of men and women with family health and HIV / AIDS prevention programs in Africa, Asia and Latin America. DKT’s family planning programs provide accessible, affordable birth control products and services to millions of couples, making it possible to prevent HIV infections and assist with family planning. DKT efforts in Africa, Asia and Latin America help improve family health, lower infant and maternal mortality and improve prosperity. Your AdamEve.com purchases help people in Africa, Asia and Latin America create a better life.
Then there are the millions of satisfied customers around the world, some who have been with us since Phil started the company. Our customers want the best, and we'll do whatever it takes to meet their demands.

Heroes:


Phil Harvey founded Adam & Eve in 1970 as part of his master's thesis in family planning at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill – making it the first mail-order contraceptive business in America. The orders poured in, and Phil soon began expanding into other areas – experimenting with more mainstream products like outdoor grills before focusing exclusively on the rapidly growing demand for adult products.
Everything was going smoothly until the mid-1980s when officials in the Reagan administration decided to crackdown on the fast-growing adult industry, targeting Adam & Eve specifically. Justice Department officials found a legal ally in nearby Alamance County who charged Phil with breaking a law passed in the 1800s prohibiting the distribution of obscene materials through the mail. Armed federal agents and police raided Adam & Eve in May 1986, detaining and interrogating employees for hours without access to legal counsel. In the subsequent trial against Phil, it took the jury less than 5 minutes to reach a not-guilty verdict.
But that didn't stop the Justice Department from trying again. Federal officials persuaded prosecutors in Alabama, Utah and other states to file similar charges against Phil with the aim of bankrupting the company with huge legal fees or pressuring Adam & Eve out of business. Disgusted at the way federal officials were trampling on the Constitution, Phil filed a civil lawsuit against the Justice Department in 1990, accusing them of grossly abusing their power. Phil's fight, coupled with the growing acceptance of the adult industry and other factors, persuaded Justice Department officials to head to the bargaining table. They agreed to cease their fight against Adam & Eve and radically alter their tactics to obscenity cases if Phil agreed to plead guilty to one set of the charges against him – giving the government something to show for seven years of persecution. If you want to learn more about Phil's struggle with the Justice Department, check out his book The Government vs. Erotica: The Siege of Adam & Eve.
Despite the lengthy legal battles, Adam & Eve was growing by leaps and bounds – moving the fledgling adult industry from stores in back alleys to the mailboxes of America with our revolutionary and popular mail-order catalog. The government might have been stuck in the past, but ordinary people all over the country were leaping at the chance to spice up their sex lives with toys, movies and other adult items.
The company was growing so fast that Phil realized it was time to move from a crowded warehouse in Carrboro, N.C. to a more spacious location. Always worried about his people, Phil wanted something close by so his employees wouldn't have to move or lose their jobs, and he found the ideal spot in historic Hillsborough. While local residents initially greeted the move with petitions and protests, Adam & Eve officials worked with them to relieve their concerns. The company's spirit of civic involvement, demonstrated by donations to local community groups and charities as well as employees committed to public service, soon won over the citizens of Hillsborough. In fact, the company was even named Business of the Year by the Hillsborough-Orange County Chamber of Commerce partly for its civic-minded spirit.
With the growth of the adult industry, Adam & Eve stayed true to its trailblazing tradition by opening a series of retail stores and franchises in North Carolina before expanding along the East Coast. They also started offering Temptation Parties. Temptation Parties allow people to have a frank discussion about adult products among friends in a comfortable environment. Adam & Eve officials also quickly recognized the potential of the Internet and developed one of the first commercial sites on the Web. We're always testing new ideas and initiatives to maintain our position at the top of the adult industry.
