LOS ANGELES—Certified sex educator and sex and body-image activist Elle Chase has signed with illustrated book publisher Quarto Publishing Group to pen the first-ever instructional sex-ed book for plus-size women. An authority and sex coach with a mission to help people feel sexy at any size, Chase will put her expertise on paper to help curvy women around the world have better, safer and more satisfying sex.
Slated for a 2017 release, Chase’s book will highlight the best and most pleasurable sex positions for women of all sizes with helpful tips and tricks for navigating common concerns and hang-ups regarding body image. Using humor to Chase anticipates will be a game-changer in the sex-ed writing world.
“I'm thrilled to be writing a book that will speak to an under-served community to which I’ve dedicated much of my life’s work,” Chase said. “The driving force behind what I do is to empower everyone—regardless of shape, size, or physical ability—to express their sexuality safely with agency and confidence. Quarto’s foresight in creating a book that encourages people of size to enjoy healthy and fulfilling sex lives speaks to its commitment to bringing a wide variety of ground-breaking sex education books to the marketplace.”
Chase has become an authority on feeling sexy at any size. Chase’s “Big, Beautiful Sex: Sex and Body Image” workshops currently draws crowds across the country and her website LadyCheeky.com features curated images and GIFs that are inclusive of people of all sizes, abilities, genders, relationships and lifestyles. Chase was recently featured in Glamour magazine’s new “What An Expert Says” series discussing sex and body image with veteran sex educator and author Tristan Taormino.
Chase’s upcoming Quarto book will allow her to reach an even broader audience, and she hopes it changes lives and open minds around the world.
