#PleasurePrinciple 

When it came to sex ed in high school, did you only learn about the STI’s and how to put on a condom? Were you taught that sex was filled will risks and not something we were allowed to enjoy? If so, you know that pleasure was never typically part of this conversation. Which is odd because that’s kinda the point. We want to move the conversation back to what it should be about; how to make ourselves and partners feel good. Whether it’s a casual hook-up or long term relationship our #PleasurePrinciple is good feels for all!. Illustration by Karen Campos Castillo
