For folks who were raised as girls and then women, so much of our socialization teaches us to de-center ourselves. To anticipate everyone else’s needs. To make everyone else comfortable. To erase our own wanting. To put our pleasure last.

Got questions about consent, communication, desire, k!nk, pleasure, or the beautifully complicated nature of being human? Pull up a virtual chair. Midori’s Office Hours are a welcoming drop-in space for real talk, practical tools, curious questions, and community wisdom.

Just one spot left for July's ForteFemme weekend... Is it yours?

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO STEP INTO YOUR PLEASURE AND POWER… Empowerment does not have to look like a movie scene, a perfect performance, or someone else’s fantasy of confidence. It can look like you: grounded, curious, present, learning, listening, and fully in your truth.

A little bit of wonderful news to share… A textbook Midori contributed to has won its second major award! Midori wrote a chapter in Fundamental Concepts and Critical Developments in S//x Education: Intersectional and Trauma-Informed Approaches

WHAT ARE YOU REALLY HUNGRY FOR? For many of us raised as girls and then women, we learned early how to de-center ourselves. To anticipate everyone else’s needs. To make everyone else comfortable. To soften our wanting. To put our pleasure at the very end of the list.
