Coral launches special in-app content in honor of Sexual Health Month
For September, the app's team of experts aim to give a platform to underrepresented identities within the sexual wellness space
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Coral, the leading sexual wellness app for all people, will launch a series of in-app content and virtual events to highlight diversity in the sexual-wellness space during Sexual Health Month, beginning September 6. The series will feature voices from diverse communities on under-represented topics regarding sexual well-being, including sex during menopause, sex and disability, and trans and gender diversity in sexual wellness discourse.
"The lack of diversity in the sexual wellness space is a systemic issue," says CEO and Founder Isharna Walsh. "Coral is here as a resource not only for people to learn about their sexual well-being, but also to advocate for it. This means making sure we use our platform to represent the full spectrum of experiences, because we believe that pleasure is for everyone and that sex-positive conversations are the antidote to shame."
Coral has a roster of nationally recognized and licensed sex therapists, researchers and experts who take part in live events, answer in-app user questions and offer educated guidance. The Sexual Health Month series will also feature authors and public figures, and present first-person stories and guided exercises on topics including:
- Tackling difficult subjects in intimate relationships as a person of color with Natalie Patterson
- Navigating sex and peri/menopause with Heather Corinna and Dr. Holly Richmond
- The power of pleasure for disabled people with Imani Barbarin
- Overcoming dysphoria and a guide to sex toys for trans folx with Buck Angel
"For me, inclusivity means including like-minded people who want to learn and better themselves while feeling safe," says activist, speaker and entrepreneur Buck Angel, whose message of empowerment through self-acceptance has struck a passionate chord with people around the world. "Sex can be an intimidating thing to discuss for men, women and people from marginal communities. Feeling safe is how you learn."
