LOS ANGELES – The creators of the SEX+ Summit have introduced SEX+ Community, a “private members-only digital space where curious, open-minded folks can connect, learn, and explore sex and pleasure free from the restrictions of traditional social media.”

According to a statement released by the new social platform’s creators, members get access to “exclusive educational courses, special events hosted by experts in the sexuality and wellness space, monthly virtual hangouts, direct access to sex and relationship support, and weekly activities designed to make prioritizing pleasure and self-care feel a little easier.”

Created and guided by sex educators Anne Hodder-Shipp and Sarah Tomchesson, the SEX+ Community “explores the intersections of pleasure, identity, and healing so members can access expansive sex and relationship information they can trust,” the announcement added.

“The mission of SEX+ events have always been to explore sexuality, healing, and identity using an expansive lens and centering tools and topics typically left out of mainstream sex and relationship conversations,” Tomchesson said. “Now with SEX+ Community, we have our own digital space with which to do it – complete with courses, workshops, and weekly activities that we designed just for SEX+ Community members.”

Through the platform’s private social feed, members will “benefit from the power of community-based learning, which allows like-minded folks to connect, share stories, and support each other while learning (and unlearning) belief systems and ideals about sex and pleasure,” the site’s creators added in their statement. They also noted that because SEX+ Community is “guided by professionals in the sexuality, healing, and wellness spaces, members have access to the kind of expansive information and support they need – and can trust.”

“Sarah and I know that we aren’t the only ones who have been harmed by reductive, inaccurate, and biased sexuality education and part of our mission as professional sex educators is to offer a soothing antidote,” Hodder-Shipp said. “I also know we aren’t the only ones who are incredibly tired of the one-size-fits-all conversations around sex and relationships, so we built SEX+ Community to offer something profoundly different. With SEX+ Community, members will develop their inner knowing and deepen their relationships – including (and especially) then one they have with themselves.”

SEX+ Community is now accepting members. For $25 per month, members get instant access to:

– 4 guided pleasure courses co-facilitated by Tomchesson and Hodder-Shipp, starting with SEX+You: Become the Authority of Your Pleasure on Feb. 18, 2021
