Sex Educator & Founder of The Pleasure Anarchist: Katy DeJong
Katy DeJong (she/her) is a sex educator, philosopher and founder of The Pleasure Anarchist. She explores how the physical, and psycho-social experiences of infertility impact how we express ourselves, sexually. Through her workshops, writing, and advocacy work, she facilitates the deep introspection necessary for sexual healing and body liberation. Pleasure Anarchy is a term she uses to communicate her commitment to challenging any system or culture that creates or upholds moralistic views about bodies, the value they possess, and the pleasure they’re allowed to feel. Beliefs that prioritize certain bodies and experiences over others, based on sexuality, body size, health & ability, race, gender, or parental status are critiqued.
