It was Good Vibrations who over two decades ago started Masturbation Month in response to the forced resignation of the first black U.S. Surgeon General, Jocelyn Elders, who openly endorsed masturbation as a healthy part of one’s sex life.
Sex-positive retailer Good Vibrations and online media platform O.school have partnered up to produce a short animated web series aimed at reducing stigma and shame when it comes to self pleasure.
This week O.school is kicking off its #BetterSexEd campaign — a two-week series of free online sex-ed workshops aimed at getting students, parents, doctors and teachers prepared for the coming year.
Imagine sex-positive sexual education that preaches neither heteronormative relations nor abstinence — one that teaches not only basic anatomy and disease prevention, but also encourages the reclamation of sexual pleasure after trauma and the shameless expression of curiosities.
