If our digital feeds are going to be filled with something sexy this year, let it be voices that broaden what pleasure means, who pleasure is for, and how openness and consent can be lived in everyday life. 

These are six people whose work is about dismantling shame, expanding imagination, redefining intimacy on their own terms, and why they matter right now!

Ericka Hart is a Black queer femme activist, writer, and award-winning sexuality educator whose work went viral when she appeared topless in public, mastectomy scars visible, to confront the erasure of Black and queer survivors from breast cancer narratives.

Hart’s teaching lives at the intersection of sex education, racial justice, disability justice, and queer liberation, reminding us that pleasure and wellbeing are inseparable from political realities.

Hannah Witton is an English-German creator, author, and longtime YouTuber who has normalized the conversations we were never taught to have about bodies, pleasure, sex, relationships, hormones, consent, and shame. Her books (Doing It and The Hormone Diaries) pulled taboo topics like contraception, periods, and fertility into the mainstream publishing world.

Though her career has evolved into broader lifestyle work and creator mentorship, her influence as a sex-positive educator remains foundational: she champions conversations that make sex less mysterious and more human.

Portia Brown offers intersectional sex and pleasure coaching that blends mindfulness, spirituality, and practical tools for women and femmes of colour healing from shame-heavy narratives around desire. Her content ranges from affirmations and journaling prompts to coaching containers that help people “embrace their authentic sexual self” and create nourishing pleasure rituals.

Portia talks about pleasure from cultural, psychological, and embodied perspectives, helping people explore desire without shame and with more curiosity.

Sonalee Rashatwar’s work pushes back against the pervasive idea that bodies deemed “undesirable” are inherently less sexual or pleasurable. A clinical social worker and activist, Rashatwar foregrounds fat-positive, queer-inclusive approaches to sex, consent, and body acceptance, insisting that sexual wellbeing must include people of all sizes, expressions, and identities.

Their perspective reminds us that sex positivity is also body positivity, and that access to pleasure is a matter of dignity and justice.

Catie Osborn (better known as Catieosaurus) brings an unfiltered, brilliant intersection of neurodiversity, sex education, kink, and pleasure practice to her community. A speaker, author, and digital creator with a huge following, she weaves together ADHD insight, sensory experience, and queer intimacy in a way that makes sexuality more accessible and real.

Her work is a reminder that difference isn’t a barrier to pleasure, it’s part of the language of human diversity. She offers language for scheduling intimacy, using toys to work with fluctuating interest, and designing scenes that account for sensory needs or executive dysfunction.

Che Che Luna is doing work that feels both radical and tender: exploring how pleasure intersects with trauma, culture, ancestry, and identity. As a queer, nonbinary Latinx educator and facilitator, Luna frames sexuality as an integration of body wisdom, movement, and lived memory, pushing back on repression and inviting people into consensual, embodied liberation.

Their projects centre queer and gender-expansive folks, weaving together performance, ritual, and education to help people feel more connected to their bodies, relationships, and the more-than-human world.
