About OMGYES
We conduct research with tens of thousands of women, ages 18-95, and distill their wisdom about sex into a web experience. OMGYES gives people clarity about what they like and makes them realize how normal it all is.
And this has wellness benefits far outside of the bedroom.
When we feel that some of what we want is dirty or broken or shameful, it's like we're constantly holding a beach-ball under the surface of a pool. It puts us off-balance. But when we realize what we want is normal, and good, and worth pursuing, we're more likely to trust and advocate for what we want. In our social lives, in work or school, in our family lives. And this shift has numerous other wellness effects our scientists are currently studying.
It's why the Australian government is purchasing OMGYES as part of a pilot wellness program. It's why Psychology Today called OMGYES, "warm, wise, tasteful and fun," The Times of London called it, "nothing less than the next wave of an unfinished sexual revolution" and Emma Watson told Gloria Steinem on stage, "I wish it had been around longer."

What’s the founding story of OMGYES?
It all started with a group of friends having open conversations about sex. A few times, they shared the specific, detailed ways of touching that made their pleasure better, solo and with partners. Everyone in the group really valued those discussions - and remarked how hearing one another share without blushing or shame made us all feel like we could be open about it, too. And the group realized there were patterns to what felt good; it wasn’t true that ‘everyone’s completely different.’ Different people in the group had independently stumbled upon similar discoveries, but they’d never heard anyone talk about them before.
They did some research and found that the specifics of what’s sexually pleasurable actually hadn’t been studied because the taboos stretched even into science/academia. So they asked researchers at Indiana University and The Kinsey Institute, what would it take to do that research? Could we make that happen? And the project began.
Thousands volunteered to participate, be interviewed and appear in videos on the site. So the friends gathered a team, partnered with Indiana University and Kinsey Institute researchers, and interviewed 1000 women, asking what they’d discovered that they wish they’d known sooner that made their pleasure better. Then they did the analysis to find the patterns and conducted and published the first-ever large-scale nationally representative study on women’s specific pleasure discoveries and techniques.
In parallel, the team did extensive research on how best to present the information so it would have a maximum positive impact and reach. That research led to three main insights:
1. Ultra-Honest Videos: Hearing individuals open up about these discoveries was most powerful (like in the initial conversations that inspired the project.) When you see someone be vulnerable and share this stuff, it gets processed and retained differently - almost like something a good friend told you, not like something you merely read about online.
2. New Vocabulary: Many of the techniques and insights from the research hadn’t even been named before. And the research showed that having descriptive, comfortable words to talk about, communicate with and guide partners around these techniques was highly impactful
3. Actually Seeing: And they found that actually seeing the techniques, in line-art animation or in the actual video, made them stick in the user’s mind and actually be implemented in real life.
So, they turned the study findings into OMGYES.com, where the techniques from the interviews and large-scale research findings are brought to life in these ways, which measurably improve users’ lives.
