Playground Launches Sex and Wellness Council and Names Dr. Emily Morse as Chief Sexologist

Today Playground, a new sexual wellness brand that champions women to celebrate their sexuality, introduces its Sex and Wellness Council. Led by Chief Sexologist Emily Morse, the council’s mission is to support and encourage women to embrace sexual health as an essential part of their overall wellness through educational conversations guided by leading industry experts.

Widely considered the leading sex expert, Doctor of Human Sexuality, Emily Morse brings a Carrie Bradshaw meets Brené Brown approach to sex as host of the #1 sexuality podcast on iTunes, Sex with Emily. As Playground’s Chief Sexologist, Morse will continue to advance these important discussions in the industry.

Alongside Morse, two other members make up the council:

As part of the launch, the Sex and Wellness Council introduces Sex and the Psyche, a guide to sex, intimacy, and sexual health where council members will address vital questions and trending topics. “Our goal is to eliminate the traditional taboos and spark honest, fun, and open conversations around sex,” said CEO of Playground, Catherine Magee. “It’s time we bury our embarrassment and empower each other to embrace healthy sexual relationships.”

Partnering with Morse was a natural fit for Playground. As someone who has helped millions of people navigate their sex lives, Morse is on a mission to make modern sex ed accessible to everybody. “I’ve dedicated almost two decades to helping women and couples improve their relationships and liberate their views around sex and pleasure,” said Morse. “I had a vision for a brand that not only improved our sex lives but also helped to destigmatize the use of lubricants and excite women to invite more fun in the bedroom. I met the founders of Playground as they were developing their products and immediately knew we had to partner to build a brand every woman deserved.”

Sexual health issues are pervasive among women and historically have been overshadowed by men’s problems. According to Playground’s research, more than half of women surveyed experience pain, discomfort, and arousal issues in the bedroom. With advice from specialists on the Sex and Wellness Council, along with a space to normalize the conversation around sexual health topics on Sex and the Psyche, Playground is on a mission to improve the livelihood of women everywhere.
