Call for Pleasure-Based Imagery for The Pleasure Bank

The Share-Net Netherlands Community of Practice on Sexual Pleasure has been doing quite some work on pleasure-focused imagery over the past couple of months. Currently, they are working on developing “The Pleasure Bank” – an open source digital library of pleasure-focused images to be used by sexual health content creators, educators, enthusiasts or basically anyone who is tired of using bananas and grapefruits.

Now, they have opened a call for contributions! They are looking for illustrations or images that showcase pleasure. Here you can find the guide – Beyond Bananas: A Guide to Identify Good Pleasure Focused Imagery – that they have developed where you can see the types of illustrations that they are looking for.

When The Pleasure Bank is launched in Spring 2023, users will be able to download the images, all illustrations featured will credit the creators and include their contact information and social media links. Of course, there will be clear Terms and Conditions about how the images can be used and a requirement that all images are properly credited.

We would love for The Pleasure Bank to be as comprehensive as possible – Share-Net Netherlands is therefore reaching out to ask if you have illustrations that you would like to contribute to the online library or know someone else who might? If so, you can email the images to Nicole, at n.moran@kit.nl.

With every image that you share, please make sure you include:

• The name of the creator
• The title of the image (if it has one)
• The contact details for the creator of the image(s)
• All relevant social media links!
