EVERYONE HAS
A STORY ABOUT SEX.

Black and white portrait of Tarah S., certified sexologist and intimacy educator

Most of us were handed a script we didn’t write, and never got a chance to edit.This space is for the rewrites.

My passion is helping people reclaim that authorship. For the pleasure that was buried, the questions you were told not to ask, discovering new desires, and reclaiming pleasure at any age, in any season.

I believe sexual health is a human right, and so is the freedom to enjoy it.

TARAH SYKES

I built Forbidden & Found for everyone who was left out of the conversation, and for the ones who were punished for even wanting to be in it.

I know what it’s like to grow up with questions no one would answer, to silence your own curiosity, and to shape yourself around someone else’s shame.

My work centers on consent, communication, and unlearning the cultural scripts that keep people quiet. It’s about giving back the language, tools, and permission we should’ve had all along.

I’m a certified sexologist and educator who teaches you how to stop performing, start communicating, and turn desire into a skill, not just a feeling.

my core beliefs.

Pleasure is power when it’s rooted in truth.

Shame thrives where no one names what’s true.

Consent isn’t just a yes, it’s the whole conversation.

Pleasure in not a luxury, it is a birthright.
