“Let’s talk about sex and its relation to our well-being, our connection with others, and most importantly, our connection with ourselves,” said Pineapple Support founder and CEO Leya Tanit. “Sexual energy can be a powerful tool to heal and it can also be the basis of a wound to heal from. Exploring our connection with our bodies and learning how to set boundaries, express ourselves and explore how past traumas can affect current relationships can be a huge step toward inner healing and growth.”
Since 2018, Pineapple Support has connected over 5,000 adult performers and industry members with mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling and emotional support.
“I want to personally thank all of our wonderful sponsors for helping to make this event possible,” Tanit added. “Join us and our team of experts as we explore our sexual selves, empower and learn to love ourselves that little bit more.”
