Sexuality Discussion Outlines & TipsPart of what we do at Pleasure Pie is create meaningful discussions about sexuality. And we want to help you create meaningful sex positive discussions too! Feel free to use our pre-made discussion outlines to guide your sexuality discussions (we appreciate it if you give us credit, thanks!), or use them as a starting point to come up with your own discussion outlines.
Sexuality Observances CalendarSometimes when creating events (or discussions, workshops, articles, publications, etc.), it is nice to plan them around social justice related holidays and other annual observances. We've compiled a list of relevant observances that you can tie your creations into, or use as inspiration for what to create next.

Tutorial by Pleasure Pie List of suggested Boston venues to host events at Includes accessibility info, cost, availability of gender neutral bathrooms, etc. We especially recommend: the Somerville Armory cafe, and the Democracy Center (update as of 7/12/24: The nonprofit that runs the Democracy Center has decided to close its doors and evict all tenants. The community is organizing to prevent this from happening. You can find information on how to support those efforts here). Things to consider when choosing a venue: Is it wheelchair accessible? Is it near public transportation? Is it in a predominately white neighborhood / How easy is it for people who are coming from predominately Black/Brown neighborhoods to get to it? If it has a rental fee, will you be able to have flexible ticket pricing options for people who can't (or struggle to) afford to buy a ticket? List of places to post your event online By Boston-based organization SoJust Good Sources of Sexuality InformationOur Sexual Rights page has information about global sexual rights.

Where to Print StuffBestvaluecopy.com has much cheaper rates than most local print shops, like Staples, FedEx, or independent print shops. You do have to pay shipping for orders under a certain amount, but it's often still cheaper than printing in person. Also, there are no minimum quantities.
Local libraries often have cheap (sometimes even free) printing options (often just black and white). Also, if you know any college students or employees, they might have free printing access at their college. If you're in the Boston area, the Democracy Center in Cambridge offers cheap printing. You just have to set up an account with them for a one-time $10 deposit. Making stickers? Stickerguy.com is a good, inexpensive place to print stickers (as long as you're not in a hurry to get them). Making pins? Wackybuttons.com lets you order pins in any quantity with as many designs as you want, and it's pretty inexpensive.
