As someone who has been a sex educator for 5+ years, people often think my life is glamorous or sexy all the time. The truth is that my life is rarely glamorous, and while it has been and likely will continue to be full of a lot of sexy situations, things, and people, it tends to also be filled with the Chronic Trifecta™: Chronic Pain, Chronic Depression, and Chronic Poverty. This Trifecta makes it hard to keep my business running sometimes, but I’ve still managed to do some neat things. For example:

I've taught 61 workshops in the past year on sex, consent, and/or healthy relationships.
Last year I did a poor sex educator version of "Eat, Pray, Love" after my divorce. I left my job managing a sex toy boutique, bought a used 1987 Toyota mini RV, named it St. Edna the Sex Ed Mobile, then went all over the Midwest and South teaching sex education.
In October 2016, I created the podcast Sex on the Brain with Amory Jane. It has had 15 episodes with thousands of downloads and has covered topics like pegging, sex & depression, and intersectional polyamory.
In December 2016, I presented the live stage show Whoopee! A Sex-Positive Variety Show to a sold out audience. Whoopee! is now a popular monthly show that regularly sells out and just moved to a bigger venue in June!

However, doing something well and having people like what you produce is not always the same as getting paid well or being monetarily rewarded for important work. So, I am now facing the reality of having to leave this important career behind because of how challenging it is to stay afloat.

I set up this Patreon as a way to get more support for things I already do that people love and appreciate - sex education, sharing vulnerability through writing/creativity, offering advice on sex, dating and play parties, and giving an inside look at my ridiculous (sexy, adventurous, heartbreaking, comical, real) life.

This will be an exclusive community where fans and friends can get to know me and my various projects behind the scenes. I will share sex ed and road trip videos, advice, never before heard audio from my podcast, backstage photos/videos from my variety show (along with playlists of songs featured during the show), my new adventures of stepping into the world of standup, very raw and personal writing, and late night cannabis-fueled posts that may range from comical observations, to deep cultural or self-analysis, to photos that are too hot for Instagram. ;)

Joining my Patreon community means I get to keep doing work that is important and rewarding and betters society, and you get entertainment, education, connection, and to live vicariously through someone who has the life of a traveling sex educator. Each bit of money pledged will go towards me being able to continue my work in the field of pleasure-positive, anti-oppressive, and consent-focused sex education. Thank you! I hope you enjoy, and please always let me know what else you want to see from me. This is my new project, and I am committed to giving you what you want so I can give the world what it needs.
