Pride & Pleasure Fundamentals

Not sure where to start? This is the perfect first step on your Pride & Pleasure journey. In this workshop, we cover the essentials: consent, relationships, boundaries, vocabulary, and reliable resources to help you build a solid foundation in sexual health and well-being. This session is designed to meet participants where they are, providing a welcoming, affirming space to ask questions, learn, and explore without judgment.

Consent & Communication

Consent is more than just a legal concept—it’s an everyday practice. This skill-building workshop goes beyond the basics, teaching nuanced, real-world approaches to giving, receiving, and navigating consent in all types of relationships. We explore communication strategies, how to recognize power dynamics, and ways to reframe consent conversations beyond fear and legalese—so you can feel confident advocating for yourself and respecting others.

Healthy Relationships & Boundaries

Relationships go beyond just sex—they shape our daily lives. In this workshop, we explore what makes a relationship healthy, how to set and maintain boundaries, and ways to navigate communication, expectations, and personal agency. Whether it's romantic, platonic, or professional, this session provides tangible skills to help you cultivate relationships that are fulfilling, respectful, and aligned with your values.

The History & Language of Sex

Sex education isn’t just about the present—it’s shaped by history, culture, and language. This workshop takes a deep dive into how society has viewed sex across time and how the words we use influence the way we experience and talk about sex today. Through a de-stigmatizing and pleasure-centered lens, we unpack the power of language and explore ways to reframe our conversations around sex, consent, and pleasure to promote more inclusive, affirming, and liberated experiences.

Signature Workshops

Custom Workshops

For groups and organizations seeking a more tailored experience, our customized workshops allow you to shape our existing content to better fit your specific needs and goals. Whether it’s adapting our healthy relationships workshop to focus on a particular age group or integrating campus-specific policies into a consent training for a college fraternity, customized workshops ensure that the content is directly relevant to your audience. These workshops include at least one planning session with Pride & Pleasure to refine the focus and structure, ensuring the workshop aligns with your priorities. Available both in-person and virtually, these sessions go beyond standard presentations to create a truly impactful experience.

Sex Ed Intensives

Our Sex Ed Intensives are immersive, half-day or full-day deep dive learning experiences designed for professionals, educators, advocates, and community leaders who want to expand their knowledge and confidence in discussing sex, relationships, and pleasure. These sessions go beyond traditional workshops, offering an interactive, conference-style experience filled with skill-building, critical conversations, and actionable takeaways. Each Sex Ed Intensive is designed to challenge outdated narratives, embrace pleasure-centered approaches, and equip participants with the tools needed to engage in inclusive, transformative sex education. Whether you're new to this work or looking to deepen your expertise, these intensives provide a collaborative, knowledge-sharing space to grow, learn, and reimagine sex education together.

Trauma-Informed Sexuality

Sex education cannot be separated from the realities of trauma and healing. This intensive helps participants understand the impact of trauma on sexuality, relationships, and bodily autonomy while exploring ways to make sex education safe, accessible, and empowering for all. We focus on navigating disclosures, addressing triggers, and integrating trauma-informed principles into sex-positive conversations—ensuring that sex education remains a tool for liberation, not harm.

Ethical Porn Education

Porn is one of the most widely consumed but least discussed aspects of sex education. This session takes a critical, non-judgmental approach to understanding porn’s role in shaping sexual norms, expectations, and attitudes. We explore the ethics of the porn industry, its intersection with race, gender, and power, and how we can have healthier, more informed conversations about porn and sexuality. Participants will leave with practical tools to integrate ethical, shame-free porn education into their work and discussions.

Facilitating Inclusive Sex Education

How do we create sex education spaces that are truly inclusive, affirming, and trauma-informed? This intensive explores best practices for leading discussions on sex, pleasure, and relationships, with an emphasis on queer inclusivity, cultural competence, and decolonizing educational frameworks. Participants will leave with tangible facilitation techniques, strategies for handling tough conversations, and a deeper understanding of how systemic biases shape sex education.

Pride in knowledge, pleasure in practice.
