- "The talk" for kids needs to shift away from biology and body parts toward pleasure, desire, and the senses.
- Porn isn't a public health crisis; it's an artistic medium that can both educate and empower people about sex.
- BDSM is inherently playful.
- Pole dancing has the power to inspire body positivity in people of all shapes and sizes.
- Relationship compatibility isn't an invisible magical force – it's a formula that can be hacked.
- Societal constructs have ingrained in people toxic paradigms about masculinity and gender roles; it's time to creatively break them.
- Relationships don't come as one-size-fits-all; they are each consciously designed.
We highly value accessibility to our greater community. For inquiries about volunteer positions and group rates, email aloha at effyblue dot com.
