Coming January 2026: Pleasure Cannot Exist Without Protection

Coming January 2026 to The Pleasure Digest Part of the Pleasure & Protection series There are conversations our communities often avoid—not because they are rare, but because they are heavy. Topics like child sexual harm, prevention, and accountability are usually addressed only after damage has already occurred. By then, survivors are carrying lifelong wounds, families are fractured, and communities are left reacting instead of protecting. In January, The Pleasure Digest will publish a featured article that opens space for a different kind of conversation—one rooted in education, care, and prevention. This upcoming piece will explore: Why silence has never protected children How secrecy allows harm to continue Why prevention must be a community responsibility How survivors deserve care without re-traumatization Why people need access to help before harm occurs This article does not sensationalize abuse. It does not include graphic descriptions. It does not frame harm as pleasure. ...

Coming Soon: How Housing Shapes Pleasure



I used to think homelessness was a story about someone else.  
Not me. Not someone who worked as hard as me.

Income coming in. Not broke—but not enough.  

You think you’re okay.  
Until you can’t lock your door.  
Until you can’t cook, can’t clean, can’t breathe in your own space.  

Anxiety sits on you like it owns you

Pleasure? Luxury.  
A sunbeam hitting your skin?  
A quiet night?  
Impossible.  

That’s when you realize: being housed shapes everything.  
Your body.  
Your mind.  
Your ability to feel alive.  
To feel pleasure.  

This first feature?  
My story.  

Raw.  
Real.  
Unfiltered.  

About scraping by, feeling unsafe in your own life, and finally knowing…  

Safe, stable space isn’t comfort.  
It’s the foundation of pleasure.  

Stay tuned.
