LOS ANGELES—Anne Hodder-Shipp and Sarah Tomchesson, the creators of the Sex+ Summit, have launched the Sex+ Community, a private members-only portal where open-minded people can connect, learn and explore sex and pleasure free from the restrictions of traditional social media.
Members have access to exclusive educational courses, special events hosted by sexuality and wellness experts, monthly virtual hangouts, direct access to sex and relationship support and weekly activities designed to make prioritizing pleasure and self-care feel easier and more fun.
Created and guided by sex educators Hodder-Shipp and Tomchesson, Sex+ Community explores such topics as pleasure, identity, healing and more, so members can access expansive sex and relationship information they can trust. Whether through taking one of their courses, attending a guest workshop, or simply scrolling through Sex+ Community’s vast resources, members can find fresh ideas, new practices, and accessible rituals they can easily add into their daily lives.
“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 Sex+ Community’s private social feed, members will benefit from the power of community-based learning, which allows like-minded individuals to connect, share stories and support each other while learning about sex and pleasure. And because Sex+ Community is guided by professionals in the sexuality, healing, and wellness spaces, members have access to a variety of educational resources.
“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.”
