What is Misseducated?

Misseducated was born from the belief that sex writing can save the world. Yep, that’s a pretty bold statement, but hear me out.

Over the last year, I’ve written about my sex life publicly on this blog. It’s helped me meet the most lovable, vulnerable, and yet neglected parts of myself, build deeper human connections, and reshape my relationships with others and with our world. This simple, silent, and introspective act, in short, has saved me from myself.

I created Misseducated to bring the tools of sex writing to a larger audience:

1. Every Friday, I publish honest yet intimate articles on various topics that aim to help others feel less alone.

2. Once per month, I host “Sex Writing Workshops,” where I teach people the tools of sex writing, help them explore their sexuality, and start dialogues about bold topics that few people dare to talk about.

3. I invite all workshop attendees to publish what they wrote on the “Community Stories” page. These stories enable people to be the change they want to see in the world, help combat taboos around sex, and keep the momentum of the movement going. I publish these stories occasionally on Tuesdays.

I hope you’ll join me in a workshop as we hold space for each other in a beautiful and intimate way.

What makes Misseducated different?

While over 200 scientific studies show the mental and physical health benefits of writing, Misseducated is the first community that I know of to apply writing specifically to the issues of human sex, sexuality, and romantic relationships.

I hosted the first Sex Writing Workshop in April 2024, and these workshops enable people to explore sex and sexuality in a safe and supportive environment. I have found these workshops to be an extra enriching form of human connection (I’m not biased at all), and I consider it an absolute honor that people trust me to do this work. I try to strike the right balance of giving people private space to write and reflect while publicly challenging them to share their stories and publish their work, as we aim to bend the arc of the moral universe in our own tiny way.
