Our A-Z list of organisations relating to sexuality, sexual health and services for sex positive peeps.
As sexually active adults, we are actually quite lucky to live in Australia. Sure, many out of touch politicians remain staunchly conservative in matters like marriage equality. But at the same time, Sydney’s Mardi Gras is a world class celebration of the queer community. Plus sex work is legal here, as are brothels – whereas in most other parts of the world it remains punishable by law. We are also privileged in that many of us can easily access a whole range of free, legal resources and support networks to help us through our sexual journeys.
Perhaps you are bi-curious or interested in the concept of polyamory? Maybe you’re considering taking up sex work professionally. Or you might already be working in the industry but need some help. Here you’ll find organisations and websites that we hope you find useful. If you want to add your community to this list, feel free to email us your suggestions.
