The Center For Sexual Pleasure & Health

Specialties

The Center for Sexual Pleasure and Health is designed to provide adults with a safe, physical space to learn about sexual pleasure, health, and advocacy issues.

Inside the CSPH you will find the warmth of a living room from the 1950s, texts from today’s and yesteryear’s great sexual thinkers, sex toys, and the largest handmade vulva doorframe in America. While there is nothing to purchase at The CSPH, there is a lot of learning, open discussion, safe space, and resources for you to use to enhance your sexuality or someone else’s.

We are housed in The Grant Building, located in historic downtown Pawtucket (home of the Industrial Revolution and Family Guy). The Grant Building is a historic landmark that has been renovated into a multi-​use artist and professional work space. With warm yet quirkily decorated common areas, ease of access for physically limited individuals, indoor free parking, and an adopted kitty that greets you at the door, The Grant Building provides all the comfort a

History

Established in 2010.

Megan Andelloux, renowned sex educator and sexologist, aimed to open a physical center space where adults could learn about sexuality without the pressure to purchase anything. After much conflict with the community, Megan proved the center to be a valuable resource and got legal permission to open the center. She met with her first client in February 2010 and the rest is history. Today the center hosts weekly discussion groups, activities, and individual consultations pertaining to sexual pleasure and health, and the center also serves as a walk-​in safe space to learn, ask questions, and simply ‘hang out.’ Truly, we believe sex education is a lifelong process. Without the protests, individuals may have remained unaware regarding the legitimacy and professionalism of sex educators. The difficulties The CSPH encountered showcased the challenges Americans face in the right to access sexual health, pleasure, research and reproductive justice information.

Business Owner

Megan Andelloux is the founder and director of The CSPH. She is a nationally certified sexuality educator through The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists and a board certified sexologist through The American College of Sexologists.

Ms. Andelloux worked for nine years as a youth-​focused sexuality educator in NY, RI, CT, and NJ before bringing her love for teaching at a locally run feminist sex-​shop in Providence, RI. It was there that she began to notice adults did not have a space to ask questions and learn about sexuality. She also noticed adults hold many of the same questions teens do when it comes to sexual issues. The challenge was set before her: create a space for adults to safely learn medically accurate, sex-​positive information in a comforting environment. Thus The CSPH was born.

She is a a sought-​after sexuality consultant for local and national media, and is a contributing author in the books «We Got Issues» A Feminist Response to Cultur
