About Pleasure Pie
Pleasure Pie is a small activist organization based in Boston, MA. Our efforts center around combating sexual shame, promoting consent education, and supporting folks who are working toward intersectional liberation. We make alternative sexuality education materials (including zines, illustrations, and publications) and experiences (events, conversations, and workshops).
