Beyond Erections: Sexual Pleasure and Intimacy with Erectile Differences

What if softness could open the door to more? More pleasure, more connection, more creative, sexy fun.

This event is your invitation to explore the rich, erotic possibilities of soft penis pleasure. Join somatic sexuality expert Erica Leroye and author Mish Middelmann in conversation based on Mish’s new book Beyond Erections: Sexual Pleasure and Intimacy with Erectile Differences. Along with his own lived experience, Mish has listened in depth to the intimate stories of hundreds of people with erectile differences worldwide, including many of their partners, and written a book celebrating ways to find intimacy and joy with bodies just the way they are. Mish, a beloved contributor to prior Soft Cock Appreciation Weeks, wrote this book to fill the gaps he and many others have experienced when looking not just for the validation that sharing soft penis pleasure is possible, but for the actual “ok, but how do we DO it?”.

This conversation is the first in our evolution from what was the annual Soft Cock Appreciation Week to providing ongoing resources under our new name and mission, "It Doesn't Have To Be Hard."

Here we take as a starting point that It Doesn’t Have To Be Hard To Be… Fun, Fulfilling, and Phenomenal. A penis is an exquisitely sensitive body part for its owner and can be a source of endless pleasure, both solo and in partnership. To overcome the stigma, shame and fear around soft penis sex, our conversation will include

1. The mindset and communication that enables us to discover a whole new way of enjoying sex beyond erections
2. New and creative ways of being sexy with all parts of our bodies including soft penises
3. Expanding orgasm: full body orgasms, multiple orgasms, infinite varieties of orgasm beyond erections

Our Sex Beyond Erections event is relevant to anybody who has a soft penis in their lives, whether between their own legs or a partner’s, whether it is an always or a sometimes. You are welcome to bring your questions and your experience and get into dialogue as Erica and Mish explore the what is possible when we move past the pre-conceived ideas that sexual pleasure requires hard erections.

This is a Live Online Event that will not be recorded. Advanced Ticketing required.

Erica Leroye brings decades of experience as a somatic sexuality professional, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Intimacy Choreographer, and founder of Creative Body Release. She curated Soft Cock Appreciation Week 2024 and is leading its evolution into It Doesn’t Have to Be Hard, a year-round resource for adult sex education. Erica is known for her playful, compassionate guidance, helping people move beyond performance scripts and discover erotic connection that is creative, nourishing, and real. She has been on a personal quest to demystify the international erectile epidemic and bridges medical insight with the art of pleasure, inviting individuals and couples to reimagine sexual well-being on their own terms.

Mish Middelmann brings his deep dive into erectile differences since he became, as he puts it, "the proud owner of a soft cock" in 2020 due to prostate cancer surgery. His book has been shaped by Mish’s candid, in-depth conversations with over 200 men and their partners over the course of five years, within and beyond the community that has grown around his RecoveringMan.net website and support group. To enable these difficult conversations he draws on 18 years of experience as an internationally certified leadership and relationship systems coach. He also reports with extraordinary openness on his own journey of learning and change, both alone and with his partner of the last 40+ years.
