Are you ready for euphoric, joyful, authentic queer sex & pleasure ?
The Authentic Pleasure Program helps you dive deeper into authentic queer pleasure.
Do you want to go beyond the basics of sex-ed to build a life full of authentic, euphoric, queer pleasure?
🌈 You want to stop feeling hesitant or embarrassed about your queer desire, and start exploring queer sex and dating with confidence
🌈 You want to feel less disconnected from your body and what brings you pleasure, and more embodied and euphoric
🌈 You know that more authentic (less performative) pleasure is possible and you’re ready to finally say FU to sexual shame and doubt
🌈 Are you ready to learn what a pleasurable life means to you, beyond expectations and scripts?
Then you’re in the right place!
Isn’t it about time you…
You felt confident in your unique queer and/or trans sexiness and what intimacy feels good to you?
You built an authentic life full of pleasure, connection, and queer joy?
You felt seen and deeply supported in a queer healing & learning space around sex and pleasure?
You right now:
Feeling lost and overwhelmed on how to navigate sex, dating, finding community as queer and/or non-binary/trans person
Feeling stuck with the progress you can make on your sexual learning journey alone and longing for community
Wanting to fully embrace and explore your queer sexy self - whether that’s going on your first queer date as a late bloomer, re-discovering your authentic sexiness as non-binary or trans, or discovering what queer intimacy means to you on YOUR terms
Introducing…
The Authentic Pleasure Program: Authentic queer pleasure beyond shame & cishet scripts.
NEW COST TIER ADDED ($700 REDUCED)
Cohort 6.0 coming Summer 2024
*this program is not for cishet men. Non-binary people, trans & cis women, and trans men are welcome.
You’re in the right place if…
You’re a queer, trans, non-binary, or questioning person
You want to pour some time and energy into fostering a deeper connection with yourself
You want to dig deeper into unlearning the scripts and rules from cisheternormativity, and build a relationship that actually feels aligned and pleasurable for YOU
You’re looking for a like minded queer and trans community to be part of your journey
Here’s WHY you might still feel disconnected from your queer pleasure…
You have likely at least 10+ years absorbing cisheteronormative messages about how you “should” act, how you “should” have sex, how you “should” show up in relationships. It takes TIME to unpack these different messages, and unlearn how they’re showing up in your life.
Capitalist, cisheteronormative thinking THRIVES in isolation - making us feel like we’re the only one who feels a certain way, or who experiences intimacy in a certain way. Being in queer community, sharing experiences, and really feeling the true diversity of sexuality is an essential and transformative force.
Cisheteronormative messages are so normalized, it’s hard to see the soup you’re swimming in. It’s okay to ask for help and seek external resources from people who have dedicated their lives to learning and unlearning this stuff.
The answer to authentic, confident queer pleasure is simple…
Dedicated time to unlearning, a supportive queer community, breaking down expectations & scripts about sex, and powerful knowledge to create something new.
This program brings together sex science-based information, lead by a non-binary, queer, late bloomer sex educator of 10+ years. This means a roadmap that guides you through the foundations of sex and pleasure.
This intimate, curated space for you to reflect, explore, and get personalized support over 5 months can help you experience deeper transformation. Plus all of this in an amazing supportive sex-positive queer & trans community of folks on the same journey as you!
The program completely shifted my perspective!
I don't think I quite realized how awesome life gets when I get to be my authentic self, prioritize my own needs, and find queer community and joy!
This program provided me with a foundation to question a lot of things that didn't feel right and to decide for myself how I want to approach sex, dating, and relationships.

How does The Authentic Pleasure Program work?
This online group program has multiple prongs of support for your pleasure journey and transformation.
This includes 8 bi-weekly live sessions, sensual homework to apply learnings to your own life, guest facilitations from sexperts, the exclusive APP Resource Hub, 2 bonus Community Calls, and 5 months of 1:1 support in the APP Discord.
8 Core Modules in The Authentic Pleasure Program:
Each core module is designed to help you bust sexual shame and foster joyful, authentic, queer pleasure.
✨ Let go of the idea that you are undeserving of pleasure, get to the root of the things that caused you to believe that, and start building the unshakable internal belief that you do deserve to receive pleasure.
✨ Release sexual expectations you no longer want to carry by naming the unwritten “rules” taught to you by the cisheteropatriarchy.
✨ Start releasing the shame from the sexual “shoulds” and “should nots” you’ve been taught.
✨ Unpack how society reduces people who aren’t cis men to sexual objects and how that becomes internalized.
✨ Name the ways that self-objectification may show up in your sexuality and begin the process of reclaiming pleasureful, authentic embodiment.
✨ Debunk the core myths that make up systemic fatphobia using science and start unlearning the ways fatphobia comes up in your sexuality.
✨ Find a body liberation framework that makes you feel powerful af by exploring the link between body image and sexuality and tapping into the #1 key - self-compassion.
✨ Unlearn the cisnormative, patriarchal myths about anatomy that hinders your ability to tap into pleasure and start exploring what feels good in your body.
✨ Unlock the key scientific theories around desire and arousal so you can begin to work with and embrace your body’s styles of arousal and desire to create pleasurable sensual and sexual experiences.
✨ Let go of shame and confusion around sexual communication and naming your desires. Explore empowering frameworks and templates that you can start implementing NOW to create the experiences of your dreams.
✨ Bring your authentic desires to life by exploring current research on sexual fantasies and learning transformative tools to help facilitate telling people exactly what you like.
What is Sensual Homework?
Sensual homework is an invitation to re-connect and re-imagine your relationship with pleasure.
Every week you have an invitation to build your own pleasure practice! This looks prompts and invitations for exploration tailored towards each module.
These are arts-based prompts, somatic exercises, journal prompts, and beyond to help you explore the concepts deeper and apply them to your own life.
You should join if…
🌈 You’re a late bloomer, non-binary, questioning, neurodivergent, queer, or trans person!
🌈 You want to go beyond the basics of sex-ed to experience greater sexual freedom & confidence
🌈 You want the tools to build a pleasurable, joyful, and euphoric life that supports all that you are - queer, trans, non-binary, late bloomer, kinky, survivor, and beyond.
What Should You Expect from This Program?
-
How much time for connection with the other APP members & Eva?
This is a high-touch program! Each bi-weekly session includes multiple break-out rooms for discussion and community-building with other APP members.
APP also includes 24/7 access to the APP community Discord server to ask questions, share gay memes and get 1:1 support from Eva on all things queerness, sex, dating, intimacy, and beyond.
-
What happens if I need to miss one of the sessions?
Every session is recorded and shared in the exclusive APP Resource Hub on Notion with access for the full 4 months!
If you wanna skip a session, something comes up, or you can’t make it live for timezone reasons - you still get access to the amazing session content!
-
Would I need any materials and or "pre-requisite" readings?
Nope! Just come with your wonderful self! All of the sessions are created in such a way for you to just DIVE IN! You don’t need any pre-requisite knowledge or reading to join us, we’d love to have you!
My experience with Eva was one that I wished would never end! The safe space they created through facilitation and education became a short, but extremely sweet get away of like minded people learning to navigate their Queerness. I have learned lots about myself in the few hours spent with Eva and the group, and I am looking forward to learning more upon joining the F*ck Comphet Support Club! If you're looking for a sign to demonstrate willingness through tenderness, vulnerability, self-love, and - THIS IS IT!

This might NOT be for you if…
🌈 You don’t learn best through group discussions, sharing, supportive accountability, and evidence-based queer sex science
🌈 You want to dive right into sex skills in the 1st class - this program tackles societal impacts first, while gradually sharing tools to reconnect with holistic pleasure in all areas of life
🌈 You’re a cishet man - more power to you for reading this whole page, but this isn’t the one for you!
Meet your program leader!
Hi! 👋 I'm Eva Bloom! I'm a non-binary lesbian and queer & trans sex educator!
I’ve been helping people like you through peer-based sexuality and identity education in some form for nearly 10 years!
I started my journey as a sex educator inspired by my own experiences feeling lost and ashamed when it came to my desires and sexual response. This coupled with a deep passion for feminism & advocacy for human rights, I got my Masters of Science focusing on the social psychology of sexuality - which I bring to my work as an educator!
I’m also a late bloomer and pandemic lesbian myself! After coming out as bisexual in 2018, the time and space for reflection (plus lesbian Tik Tok, let’s be real), I came out again as a lesbian and non-binary.
Through stepping into my own queerness, my goal as a sex educator solidified into supporting fellow queer & trans people in building lives with more queer joy, freedom, and authentic pleasure.

Why pursue authentic queer pleasure?
-
Reason 1: Pleasure is more than what happens in the bedroom.
Rebuilding your relationship with pleasure transforms ALL areas of your life: friendship, community, work, daily wellbeing, self image, and beyond.
-
Reason 2: As queer people, fostering your pleasure and queer joy IS A RADICAL ACT.
It nourishes and supports you as you navigate the cishet world, and it flies directly in the face of how they want us to be.
-
Reason 3: Pleasure in and of itself is the reason.
The capitalist, white supremacist, cisheteropatriarchy would have us believe that our reason to be on this planet is to work and produce, but you only get one life - why not try and fill it with as much authentic joy and pleasure that you can?
-
Reason 4: You f*cking deserve it.
If you’re like me, you spent many years of your life trying to be someone you’re not - consciously or subconsciously. As you take steps to create a life that is true to you, you deserve all the pleasure and more that wasn’t possible when you were younger and not living as yourself.
Hear from past students!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This was an amazing experience and I am so, so grateful that I participated in the program. Life looks SO DIFFERENT from six months ago and I think the structure of this program, the topics we covered, and making the commitment to really engage with all of this on a regular basis really helped me shift my perspective.
- Rachel, previous Authentic Pleasure Program member
Just, thank you so much, Eva! You created a really special, safe space for us! I have never taken a class like this and it improved my life a lot by bringing sex to the forefront in a fun, safe way. It really helped me own my sexuality, and gave me permission to be whoever I am sexually! I needed this so badly! Thank you!
- Katie, previous Authentic Pleasure Program member
Who is APP perfect for?
According to past APP students:
Queer people at any stage of life or their gender or sexual journey who want to learn ways to find pleasure and joy in life outside of the cisheternormative patriarchy capitalist society we live in.
People who know they want to make some changes in the way they think about/approach sex, who are ready to bust through shame and fear, but really just need that boost of supportive conversation, and dedicated time/energy
Someone who is open to and excited for questioning all of the patriarchal, heteronormative assumptions that we grew up with and is ready to find something better!! :)
It’s perfect for people who want to change and grow, and for people who need some more help breaking through to a deeper sense of self through sex, alone and partnered.
What would you tell someone who’s thinking about joining the Authentic Pleasure Program?
According to past APP students:
Doooooo it, you'll learn so much about yourself!
I would say this is an incredibly informative programme and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is struggling with body image, confidence, and general sexy times.
If you are ready to be truly introspective and do the work to change how you think about sex for the better, you should do this. You foster a much better sense of self and self satisfaction by the end, while also breaking down any shame you might have to help yourself grow as a whole person.
Eva maintains a very respectful community surrounding this course that makes it more comfortable to participate even if you don’t have a lot of experience talking about sex. They also go above and beyond to provide participants with numerous resources and makes sure they are easily accessible.
Get ready to have your shit rocked.
All your hot questions 🔥 (and my answers)
-
First of all, it totally makes sense why you’ve have this question! In our ableist, capitalist, patriarchal society we are constantly being told that we should be able to figure things out and do everything on our own.
Amazing friend, if you desire support and guidance on your sex and pleasure journey from an expert like me, then the real question is: How MUCH abundant support can you say YES to?
After supporting hundreds, I can say with certainty that sex and intimacy is a life-long learning process for ALL of us. If you resonate with this, I hope you’ll join us in the Authentic Pleasure Program.
-
If you’re the type of person that thrives with community accountability and the right tools and resources, the Authentic Pleasure Program will transform your relationship with pleasure for good.
You can also get your questions answered by Eva via the APP Discord and in the Q&A time at the end of every bi-weekly call!
-
The Authentic Pleasure Program is either one payment of $950 USD ($1300 CAD) or 6 monthly payments of $160 USD ($222 CAD) each for the group only.
-
This program is for queer, trans, non-binary, and questioning people!
You are welcome here!
-
Yes! If you’re questioning if you’re queer, don’t have a label you vibe with, are “not-straight”, or still learning.
You are welcome here!
-
I am not a social worker or licensed therapist, so I cannot provide tailored support around working through sexual trauma.
This program can be a compliment to therapy and provide knowledge, a supportive community, and opportunities to connect with holistic pleasure (ie senses, mindfulness) gradually.
-
Members range in age from 20 to 45! What unites all members is their dedication to transforming their sex lives & relationships with pleasure with confidence and a clear path forward. (Plus everyone in the Authentic Pleasure Program is super sweet and welcoming and largely pretty nerdy. TLDR, we’re delightful af)
-
If you’re ready to do the work, you’re in the right place. And yes, if you’re still reading this page and nodding your head saying “Whoa, that’s me 👀” - then odds are the Authentic Pleasure Program is crossing your path right now to transform your pleasure life for a really good reason.
