Tarah Sykes

As a Certified Sex Coach and Sexologist, Tarah specializes in dismantling the shame, silence, and outdated scripts that keep people disconnected from their own pleasure. She is the founder of Forbidden & Found, a platform focused on shame-free, medically accurate, curiosity-driven sex ed that gives people the language, confidence, and permission to understand their own pleasure. Centering on consent, communication, and unlearning the patterns that make desire feel complicated or confusing, she challenges everything you were taught to hide.

 

Tarah's work spans kink fundamentals, pleasure anatomy, communication, consent, the neuroscience of desire, and the art of asking for what you want. Known for her candor, clarity, and gift for making even the most taboo topics feel grounded and human, she brings depth and realness to every room she’s in. As a coach, public speaker, workshop facilitator, and a pleasure tech enthusiast who knows how to pair people with toys they’ll actually use, she’s committed to building a world where sexual health is treated as a human right, and where learning about pleasure is just as normal as practicing it.
