“jessica is as effective and comfortable speaking to teenage girls trying to figure out their sexuality, as she is speaking to sex educators.  She comes across as warm, approachable, and genuinely concerned about making the world a better, more sex-positive place.”

“jessica drake is the next generation of adult film star turned sex educator, following in the footsteps of legends such as Nina Hartley, Carol Queen, Annie Sprinkle, and Sharon Mitchell.  Her style captivates a wide range of audiences, from seasoned sex educators to novices seeking sexual enhancement and knowledge.  As a speaker, she provides insightful discourse and incorporates a unique blend of humor and intellect, which allows her to impact her audiences on a deep and cathartic level.  Her impact on sexuality stretches beyond education as she also involves herself in sexuality activism and adult film worker rights.  jessica’s Guide to Wicked Sex series has proven to be a valuable addition to sex education media and a resource I have used with great success with sex therapy clients seeking to improve their sexual skills, technique, and confidence with partners.  In short, jessica is a valuable asset and important voice in sex education and the sex positive movement.

“jessica drake is a powerful voice for sexual education and empowerment!  Launching her experience and expertise in the world of adult film into a successful sex education video series and compelling public lectures about sexual health and sexual rights, jessica drake makes a critical contribution to the fight for a better public discourse about sex in our country.  Using adult entertainment as a tool for social change, jessica builds from the pioneers of porn sex ed, Nina Hartley, Carol Queen, and Tristan Taormino.  Like these trailblazers, jessica has a vital voice, and she isn’t afraid to use it to help us all embrace our sexualities and fight social stigma and oppression.”

“jessica drake was an exceptional speaker.  She not only shared her views on the pornography industry, but more broadly spoke to students about sexual health.  She communicated to students ways of learning to become comfortable with one’s own body and learning how to communicate their desires to their partners.  She emphasized the importance of understanding and respecting one’s own limits when it comes to sex, and accepting that different people have very different preferences.  jessica was a true pleasure to have in class, and the students learned a great deal from her presentation.  I would highly recommend her as a speaker for any class related to media issues, gender, or sexuality.”
