UO Body & Mind: Let's Talk Pleasure w/ Smile Makers

Let's Talk Pleasure Positivity

Who are Smile Makers?
Smile Makers design sensual products for vulva owners using the latest research and science to produce body-safe vibrators. Known for their fun packaging and tongue ‘n’ cheek names, Smile Makers beats the taboo and encourages a space to understand and explore pleasure. They create a respectful environment and community to deliver modernised sex education and promote sexual wellness.

What does it mean to be pleasure-positive?
Whether it’s a distant memory or pencilled in your school timetable for next week, sex education was and can be an awkward one. From reproductive-driven biology lessons to penetrative-focused classes, vulva owners grow up in a world where sex and pleasure are rarely discussed in the same conversation. The feel-good potential aspect of our sexuality is left out despite the sexual health and mindful benefits that sexual pleasure can help. Smile Makers are here to change that, encouraging and educating vulva owners to understand their bodies through the use of body-safe, vegan and cruelty-free vibrators.

What are the mental and physical health benefits of sexual pleasure?
Pleasure releases prolactin, a hormone which can help with pain relief, stress relief, boosting your immune system, improving fitness and vitality, gaining stronger self-confidence and giving you a better nights’ sleep.
