If you're trying to figure something out, you're in the right place.

Most people figure out their intimate lives by trial and error. We've spent the last three decades trying to make that easier.

Made by the Alexander Institute.

LovingSex.com is part of the Alexander Institute — a Los Angeles-based publishing house that's been making books, films, and educational tools about intimate life since 1997.

Our early years were spent working with sexologists, sex therapists, sex educators, and people from across the medical and academic side of pleasure to make books and films that gave people real, useful information instead of guesswork. Some of those titles are still in print. Some of those collaborators are on this site's editorial board today.

The catalog at LovingSex.com is the next chapter — toys, films, and content sourced from the same network that helped us make those original books. The site is being reimagined for 2026, but the work itself is what it's always been: helping people who care about getting this right find what they need.

What you'll find here.

Three categories of thing.

TOYS

Toys.

A curated catalog of premium 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.

FILMS

Films.

Three decades of work from the Alexander Institute studios, plus director's-series collaborations with Erika Lust and other voices in modern sexual cinema. Streaming on watch.lovingsex.com, soon to be watch.lovingsex.com.

EDITORIAL

Editorial.

The Journal — long-form pieces by AASECT-credentialed sexologists and educators, on the topics most people don't get good answers to: perimenopause libido, SSRI sexual side effects, partner communication, beginner toy guides, anatomy without the academic gloss.

How we vet what we recommend.

4

Reviewed by named editors.

Every editorial recommendation is reviewed and signed by a credentialed contributor — named, with their credentials, on every article.

5

Transparent compensation.

Our contributors aren't paid by the brands they mention. They earn 10% commission on attributable sales from product links in their articles. That's the only money on the table — which means their picks are their actual picks. We think you deserve to know that.

6

Strong opinions, named.

Some products our reviewers love, some they're neutral on, some we don't carry because they wouldn't recommend them. They have opinions and they say so.

Our editorial board.

Our recommendations are reviewed by a credentialed editorial board of sexologists, sex therapists, and educators.
