We need to have the talk (about sex)

Let’s face it. Talking about sex and sexuality isn’t always easy. Between stigma, misinformation, cultural messages, media influences, and the prevalence of explicit content, it’s no surprise that many people—at any age—can feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or even ashamed about their bodies, identities, relationships, and sexual development. We want to change that.

We are all sexual beings

We believe that your sexuality is an integral part of being human, and that you need and deserve clear, reliable, and accurate information about sexuality that is presented in a sex-positive framework and that isn’t based on promoting shame, guilt or fear.

Life-long learning to empower you

Learning about sexuality can be a life-long process for many, and unfortunately, many of us did not receive a quality and inclusive sexuality education.

That's why we're here!

And, that’s why we created this website! Whether you’re filling gaps from past education or looking for specific information, we are dedicated to sharing accurate, positive, and reliable resources that empower you, rather than promoting fear or guilt.
