We’ll continue to add to this list as we find more. Feel free to send recommendations!

I started Pleasure Pie in 2014 because I wanted to give people the affirming sex education that I never got as a teenager.

At the time I was teaching sex ed to teens in Boston. We had to follow a strict curriculum, which was dictated by the state. The curriculum had an optional add-on section about consent.

​Here are a bunch of zines about abortion from Pleasure Pie, Pleasure Pie collaborators, and other zine makers. Feel free to print as many of these as you'd like and distribute them wherever (just don't sell them). 

Are you interested in kink and BDSM and not sure where to start (and living in the Boston area)? Meeting other people who are into BDSM and finding a community can make being kinky a lot more fulfilling. We recommend going to some events in person and finding an online community.

Here are our suggestions for connecting to the BDSM community in the Boston area.

More than half (56%) of young men voters in the U.S. (ages 18-29) voted for Trump in 2024. This came as a surprise to a lot of people, especially as many young people are increasingly adopting liberal political views. So what happened, and what can we do about it?

Allegations of sexual violence against Israelis on October 7, 2023 have become a key talking point in attempts to justify the Israeli government’s mass killing of Palestinians.

​Zionist rhetoric has long used various forms of “liberal” propaganda to validate violence against Palestinians, including “pinkwashing,” or presenting Israel as a haven for LGBTQIA+ rights to excuse its violent occupation of Palestine. These allegations of sexual violence follow the same script: the narrative shifts focus away from Israel’s violence in Gaza and frames its military response as justified self-defense, painting Israel as the victim.

This year marks ten years of Pleasure Pie's existence! Here's a brief timeline of what the past ten years have consisted of.

I came up with the idea for a local sex-positive email newsletter when I began putting my own sex-positive work online and a bunch of local sex-positive people started coming out of the woodwork.

Sexual justice is where sexuality meets social justice. It is about seeing the ways in which free sexual expression and sexual wellness are not accessible to all—and working toward a more sexually just world.

Do you run a gay bar, arts center, school, meditation group, sex club, or other community-based business or organization? Conflict is bound to come up in community spaces, and the way that you respond to it as a leader in your community can have a big impact on the people involved, as well as the entire community. But what do you do if an allegation is made and you don't know who to believe?

We’re looking for a highly organized individual who can assist with communications, social media management, event tabling, and administrative tasks. The ideal candidate will have experience with designing graphics and writing text for social media, as well as assisting in project management and administrative tasks.

To apply: Please email a resume, work samples, and cover letter that describes your interest in the position and any relevant experience to Nicole at hello [at] pleasurepie.org. Feel free to email with any questions.

Applications are due Thursday, June 27, 2024.

Sexual justice and consent do not exist under genocide. From unsafe and unmedicated birth (including C-sections without anesthesia) to sexual violence and mass murder by the Israeli military, what we are witnessing in Gaza couldn't be farther from sexual justice or consent.

Since our country is actively funding this mass murder of over 30,000 people and counting, I feel a responsibility as a U.S. resident to do everything in my power to stop this.

This week, a U.S. Air Force member named Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire to protest the genocide in Gaza after receiving classified military information. His last words were "Free Palestine!"

It can be easy to write off this sort of extreme protest as a mental health mistake. But that that would mean missing the incredibly powerful statement Bushnell made.

It's hard to express how bad things are in Gaza right now. I have an internet friend who lives there and it is heart-wrenching to hear him fear death, and recently, mourn the death of a close childhood friend.

I know that lots of sex-positive folks (and other leftists) are thinking "People on both sides are suffering. We shouldn't focus on Palestinians above Israelis. What about anti-semitism?"
