Blog Post Written By: MelRose Michaels

What if pleasure education were as common as gym class? Pleasure Lit Patricia is on a mission to make it happen, combining erotic artistry with real-world sexual literacy so people can experience more joy, more connection, and more confidence in and out of the bedroom.

In a recent Twitter Space conversation, MelRose Michaels sits down with Pleasure Lit Patricia to talk about the art of blending education and erotica, navigating stigma, and building a sustainable platform with purpose. From setting boundaries to creating workshops that change lives, Patricia shares exactly how she’s turning pleasure into a skill set everyone should have.

MelRose Michaels: Welcome back to On the Whorizon. I’m MelRose Michaels, your host, and today’s guest is someone who’s bringing education, joy, and empowerment into adult spaces. Pleasure Lit Patricia is an erotic content creator, educator, and advocate who’s helping people understand and embrace pleasure, both their own and their partners’. We’re going to talk about creating authentic content, navigating stigma, and building a platform rooted in education and desire.

Patricia, thank you so much for joining me.

Pleasure Lit Patricia: Thank you for having me. I’m so excited to be here.

MelRose Michaels: For those who may be meeting you for the first time, can you share a bit about what you do and how you got started?

Patricia: I call myself a pleasure literacy educator. My work combines erotic content with real education, things like anatomy, consent, communication, and sexual health. I want my audience to not only enjoy the content but also learn something that can improve their real-life experiences.

I started creating during the pandemic. I was already interested in sex education, and online platforms gave me the space to combine that with my own creativity and erotic expression. Over time, I realized there was a big gap between sexual entertainment and actual pleasure education, so I decided to bridge it.

MelRose Michaels: That’s a unique approach. How do you balance the erotic side of your content with the educational side?

Patricia: It’s all about intention. I create with the goal of turning people on and turning their minds on. For example, I might make a sensual video, but I’ll include context, like why certain touches feel good, or how to communicate during intimacy.

I think people are hungry for more than just visual stimulation. They want to feel connected, to understand why something feels good. I’m not trying to replace porn or lectures, I’m creating a space where both can coexist.

MelRose Michaels: Anytime we blend education and eroticism, there’s pushback. Have you faced censorship or stigma because of your approach?

Patricia: Absolutely. Platforms often treat educational content the same as explicit content, so I’ve been shadowbanned, had videos removed, and faced account suspensions, even when the content was purely educational.

The stigma also comes from people who don’t understand that pleasure is part of health. They think talking about sex is inherently inappropriate, especially for women and marginalized creators. I’ve learned to be strategic about language and visuals so my work can stay accessible while still being authentic.

MelRose Michaels: You’ve built a brand with a strong sense of mission. How do you keep it sustainable for yourself as a creator?

Patricia: I have clear boundaries. I decide in advance what I’m comfortable showing, what topics I’ll cover, and what’s off-limits. That makes it easier to say no to things that don’t align.

I also plan my content in a way that mixes high-energy creation with quieter, more reflective posts. That helps prevent burnout. And I make time to engage with my audience in a real way; they know I’m a human being, not just a content machine.

MelRose Michaels: What advice would you give to creators who want to blend education with adult content?

Patricia: First, know your “why.” It’s the anchor that will keep you from getting lost in trends or comparison. Second, make your boundaries crystal clear from the start. And third, don’t underestimate the power of niche, your audience will find you faster if you’re specific about who you are and what you offer.

Also, don’t shy away from charging for your knowledge. Education has value, and combining it with erotic content is work that deserves fair pay.

MelRose Michaels: What’s next for you and Pleasure Lit?

Patricia: I’m working on a series of workshops that combine live demonstrations with Q&A, so people can learn in real time. I’m also building more resources for my community, like guides and mini-courses, so they have something tangible to take away from our conversations.

Ultimately, I want pleasure literacy to be as normal as financial literacy or physical fitness.

MelRose Michaels: I love that. Thank you for sharing your insight and your work with us today. Where can people find you online?

Patricia: You can find me on Instagram and TikTok @PleasureLitPatricia, and my subscription content is on OnlyFans. I also have a newsletter you can join through my website for free tips and resources.
