Most people work out their intimate lives by trial and error, usually without anyone to ask. We've spent nearly thirty years trying to make that easier — since back when this wasn't a category, just a handful of educators, therapists, and publishers willing to take the subject seriously. We were one of them.
LovingSex.com is part of the Alexander Institute — a Los Angeles studio that has been making educational films about sex since 1997. Not commentary on intimacy. Instruction: how to actually do this, shown rather than described, made with sexologists and educators who knew what they were talking about.
Our early years were spent alongside the clinical and academic side of pleasure — sexologists, AASECT-credentialed educators, pelvic-floor therapists — making films that gave people real information instead of guesswork. Some of those titles are still in print. Some of those collaborators sit on this site's editorial board today.
A curated catalog of sexual-wellness products: LELO, Dame, We-Vibe, Womanizer, Magic Wand, Le Wand, Hot Octopuss, Lovense — plus our own LS line. We don't carry everything. We carry what our reviewers would actually use. And we don't pretend the wand is "just a back massager" — it's a sex toy, and we call it one.
Work from the Alexander Institute studios since 1997, plus films from Erika Lust and other independent directors in modern sexual cinema. Streaming at watch.lovingsex.com.
Long-form pieces by named sexologists and educators on the questions people don't get good answers to: perimenopause and libido, SSRI side effects, talking to a partner, beginner toy guides, anatomy without the academic gloss. Hands-on product reviews are joining it now — and erotica worth actually reading is coming.
No brand or manufacturer pays us — or our contributors — to feature their products. We pay our contributors ourselves for the work. On top of that, they earn a 10% commission on the sales their articles drive — so the only money tied to a recommendation is a cut of what you choose to buy, and it comes from us, never from a brand. That's why the picks are the picks.
Our articles and recommendations are written and reviewed by a credentialed editorial board of sexologists, sex therapists, and educators — real names, real credentials, on every piece.
Keep it coming — a question we should answer in the Journal, a product we should consider carrying, or a story of your own. If something here does that for you, we'd love to hear about it. If you'd like to write for us, tell us that too.
