Sharon Marie Scott

Sharon Marie Scott is a writer, speaker, spiritual innovator, and founder of the Pleasure Renaissance, a global movement centered on the shift from living on autopilot—guided by expectation, performance, and survival—to one guided by pleasure and aliveness.

With a background in comic books, video games, film, and fiction, and as a longtime leader in alternative lifestyles communities (sex-positive LGBTQ, kink/BDSM, polyamory, and sovereign relating), Sharon approaches transformation through story and lived experience rather than formulas. She is less interested in helping people fix their lives, and more interested in helping them see where they’re not actually enjoying the one they have—and what changes when they start telling the truth about that.

Her work centers on full expression through the reclamation of desire, including the parts shaped by taboo and shame. She believes a woman who is attuned to her own pleasure is far less governable by fear and control.
