SAN FRANCISCO—CrashPadSeries.com has partnered with sex educator Byrd on the launch of a “first-of-its-kind” course addressing Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Long COVID in intimacy and relationships, a representative said.
The online course will release on Byrd's website SexEdWithByrd.com on May 12, in honor of ME/CFS Awareness Day. This recorded course is a go-at-your-own-pace pre-recorded course on sex, intimacy and relationships for people with ME/CFS, Long COVID, and similar conditions.
Byrd is a certified sex educator who specializes in intimacy, chronic illness, disability and queer sexuality. The course is grounded in both professional training and lived experience, and is designed to offer accessible, affirming guidance to a deeply underserved community. Its audience is primarily disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill adults seeking trusted, low-energy resources for improving connection and intimacy.
“CrashPadSeries.com is a resource for adult viewers seeking sexual inspiration and representation in diverse queer sexuality. Several performers on the site are outspoken about having ME/CFS and discuss challenges and considerations when creating adult content,” the representative added. “By partnering and promoting Byrd's course, CrashPad seeks to increase awareness and further education for its community of adult film performers and audiences alike.”
