Welcome to Embohd

Created to bridge the silence between sex education and adult experience. Embohd was founded from a simple observation, we are taught about sex once, and too early to understand it. What we learn in adolescence rarely prepares us for the complexity of intimacy as adults, for desire, disconnection, menopause, communication, or the emotional rollercoaster of real relationships.

We grow, but the education doesn’t.

Embohd exists to close that gap creating a modern intimacy brand for post-school education and for those who want to understand connection more deeply: through objects, essays, and gatherings that reframe how we speak, learn, and feel. Embohd is not just a brand, it’s a continuation of the education we never finished.

Founder Note

Founded by a retail and brand strategist with years of experience across the U.K. retail industry, including time spent inside one of the UKs leading adult brands, Embohd is the result of seeing what the industry was missing. From the inside, I saw innovation and inclusivity grow, but also how the conversation around sex had become louder, not wiser.

As I say “We taught people how to buy pleasure, but not how to understand it.

Embohd was created as a response, a brand built to mature with its audience, to make intimacy an intelligent, evolving conversation rather than a commodity. Intimacy is not a single moment, it’s a lifelong practice. We believe in a slower, more considered approach to connection: one that merges design, education, and empathy.

Our work will move between the tactile and the thoughtful. From sculptural objects (coming soon) that celebrate form and touch, to essays and events that encourage reflection, learning, and conversation.

Each piece, word, or gathering exists to remove taboo and invite curiosity.

Why Now?

Because the conversation around intimacy needs to grow up. And we’re ready to have it.We are living in a cultural moment defined by noise where intimacy is everywhere, yet rarely discussed with honesty or nuance.

From OnlyFans to dating apps, the U.K. doesn't need another funny take on sex. It needs an elevated, educational, emotionally intelligent conversation. One that feels beautiful, inclusive, and grounded. Sex, consent, and female pleasure are dominating British media and podcast culture. Yet, There's almost no one speaking beautifully and intelligently about intimacy, embodiment, and education. The language of sex is loud but not always meaningful and Embohd was created as an antidote to that noise: a calm, intelligent space that brings dignity, beauty, and understanding back to intimacy.

Our passion lies in bridging the gap between design and desire, building a world where learning about intimacy feels as natural as buying skincare, art, or fragrance. Embohd is for those who are curious. For people who want to learn, or re-learn how to connect, without shame or cliché. For those who have outgrown the glossy language of “sex positivity” but still believe in the value of pleasure, education, and design. We speak to a new generation of adults who crave honesty, aesthetics, and depth, those who want intimacy to feel as considered as the spaces they live in.
