Who are we?

That’s from Your-Friends-at-Medium’s Perfecting Your Publication page, which is a terrific resource we refer to often here (the emphasis, in bold, is ours). Our common theme and shared purpose is promoting sex-positive, inclusive sex education and sexual wellness; sexual wellness can take on a lot of forms, and ultimately, our philosophy is that as long as all parties involved consent and enjoy the sex, then that sex is good and pleasurable and worth fighting for.

Our community is a robust one, probably best labeled as (to borrow a term I first heard from Sarah Brynn Holliday): Sex Nerds (#SexNerds). We’re not perverts or nymphomaniacs or any of the other pejorative epithets that get thrown around. We’re just really, really enthusiastic about sex education and sexual well-being, which includes sexual freedom — a fundamental, natural right, in our opinion. We were fascinated by/with sex growing up, feel some type of way about the erosion of women’s reproductive rights and aren’t scared to speak up in any situation (often, to a fault). We love and support the community of sex bloggers and sex nerds who toil away, doing the unglamorous work of perfecting and producing incredible content for the rest of us to consume and enjoy. We’re proud to be a part of it! Some of our favorite and most consistently-awesome sex bloggers are, in no particular order:
