As Pride Month nears, Beducated, the world’s leading pleasure-based sex education platform, is expanding its commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusive resources. The platform, accessible at Beducated.com, offers a growing library of expert-led courses designed to foster exploration, empowerment, and self-discovery across the spectrum of gender identities and sexual orientations.
Beducated’s courses cover a wide range of topics, from gender identity to queer intimacy, providing accessible, shame-free resources for individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of sex, sexuality, and sexual satisfaction. The platform currently hosts over 150 courses in English, Spanish, French, and German, developed in collaboration with more than 70 global sex and intimacy experts.
Key courses
- Male to Male Pleasure: Sexual Intimacy and Erotic Stimulation Between Men
- Understanding Gender: Explore Sex, Gender and Sexual Orientation

Mariah Freya, Beducated’s co-founder and CEO, emphasises the platform’s mission. “Pleasure should never be confined by gender norms or limited definitions of intimacy,” she says. “Our mission is to create a space where everyone, regardless of identity or orientation, can feel seen, supported and empowered to explore their desires with confidence and care.”
Founded in 2018 by Freya and Phil Steinweber, Beducated has grown into the largest pleasure-based sex education platform online, often described as a “Netflix for sexual education.” It offers subscribers access to thousands of lessons curated by world-class sex educators, coaches, and experts. The platform covers topics ranging from self-pleasure to kink exploration, ensuring content reflects the diversity of real people and relationships.
In its latest innovation, Beducated introduced an AI Sex Coach, a comprehensive ‘intimacy assistant’ trained on thousands of sex education lessons. The tool provides detailed, shame-free advice on sex and relationships, further enhancing the platform’s accessibility. According to Beducated, the AI is designed to support users in navigating intimate topics with confidence, complementing the platform’s expert-led courses.
The timing of Beducated’s focus on LGBTQ+ inclusivity aligns with global preparations for Pride Month in June. Pride, celebrated annually, honours the 1969 Stonewall riots and advocates for LGBTQ+ rights. Beducated’s efforts contribute to this by promoting education that embraces all identities. The platform’s commitment to inclusivity is evident in its collaboration with diverse experts, ensuring authentic representation in its content.
Beducated’s courses are structured to be approachable for beginners and enriching for those with more experience. Each course combines video lessons, written materials, and practical exercises, encouraging users to engage actively with the content. The platform’s multilingual offerings make it accessible to a global audience, reflecting its aim to reach diverse communities.
The rise of online sex education platforms like Beducated comes amid growing demand for inclusive resources. A 2023 study by the Williams Institute found that 19.7% of Generation Z adults in the US identify as non-heterosexual, highlighting the need for education that addresses diverse identities. Beducated’s library responds to this demand, offering tools for self-discovery and empowerment.
