Welcome to Power and Pleasure
Sexual health that centers autonomy, healing, and joy
Sexual health isn’t just about disease prevention and risk reduction. It’s about pleasure, autonomy, and healing from trauma. It’s about desire, consent, and power dynamics. It’s about reclaiming your body after it’s been violated, controlled, or dismissed.
Pleasure & Power addresses everything your sex ed class didn’t cover and your doctor probably won’t discuss—always centering your right to make informed choices about your own body.

Our Philosophy
You have the right to:
Sexual pleasure without shame
Comprehensive information about your body
Healthcare that addresses your actual needs
Autonomy over every sexual decision
Healing and recovery on your timeline
Pleasure & Power provides information mainstream medicine ignores and popular culture distorts. We talk about sex like it matters—because it does—while respecting that everyone’s relationship with sexuality is different.
What Makes Us Different
We’re sex-positive, not sex-prescriptive
Whether you’re having sex with multiple partners, one partner, or yourself—whether you’re having lots of sex or none at all—you belong here.
We center consent and autonomy
No one owes anyone sex, intimacy, or their body. Ever. Under any circumstances.
We address trauma without requiring disclosure
Healing resources don’t require you to share your story or relive your trauma.
We talk about pleasure explicitly
No euphemisms, no coyness, no shame. If we’re going to discuss sexual health, we’re going to be honest about how bodies work and what feels good.
