Sunrise period for .sex launches

The .sex generic top-level domain (gTLD) has opened its sunrise period to trademark owners.

Opened today, September 1, the sunrise period runs until October 1.

ICM Registry, which manages the domain, also launched sex-themed suffixes earlier this year including .porn and .adult.

Pop star Taylor Swift was among those to register within the .adult and .porn gTLDs after they were launched in March this year.

The .sex domain will become generally available on November 4.
