Safer Sex Individual Standards
Stand out, professionally.
For educators, presenters, sexologists, vendors, and staff working in sex-positive spaces, this is how organizers and the people attending your sessions know you’re a more trusted part of the community.
Anyone can put “educator” or “presenter” in a bio. The Safer Sex Standard is a credential you actually earn, one that tells organizers, venues, and attendees you’ve committed to a real code of conduct, instead of just a good pitch.
Build a reputation that travels.
Right now, every new venue or event re-vets you from scratch, or doesn’t vet you at all. A portable credential changes that.
Get booked faster
Organizers can trust your credential instead of starting a vetting conversation from zero.
Stand apart from the crowd
In a space full of self-declared experts, this shows you’ve backed the title up, instead of just claiming it.
Carry it with you
One credential, recognized across venues, events, and organizers, instead of a new reference check every time.
Accountability Matters.
To carry the Safer Sex Individual Standards™ credential, you agree to these baseline commitments.
- Code of Conduct Agreement
A written commitment to consent, boundaries, and professional conduct while presenting, vending, or working an event. - Disclosure, Instead of Silence
Honest disclosure of any prior accusations or consent violations. - Reference or Vouch
A reference from a venue, event, or organizer you’ve worked with. - Accountability Going Forward
Ongoing standing tied to conduct.
Active. Trusted. Certified.
Your status reflects how much has been verified.
Active
Free for NCSF members. Recognized as part of the network to change sex-positive culture.
Trusted
Your code of conduct agreement and disclosure have been received and verified.
Certified
Reserved for individuals who consistently display integrity, professionalism over time, and fully implement the program, including reference verifications and background checks.
Who this is for
Educators & Sexologists
Workshop leaders, presenters, and clinical or academic educators in the sex-positive space.
Vendors & Demonstrators
Anyone selling, demoing, or representing products at events and venues.
Staff & Volunteers
Monitors, DMs, greeters, and anyone working an event or venue on behalf of an organizer.
Independent Presenters
Anyone booking their own workshops, seminars, or private sessions in the sex-positive space.
Verify, instead of guessing.
A Trusted or Certified presenter has already agreed to a code of conduct and had their disclosure verified, instead of you finding out after they’re already booked.
Know who’s leading you.
A Trusted or Certified educator, presenter, or vendor has agreed to a code of conduct and had their disclosure verified. Their status travels with them, into every workshop, seminar, or private session they lead.
Apply for your credential.
The same interest form used across the SaferSex Standards Program™ asks whether you’re applying as an individual or an organization, so you’re in the right place either way.
Safer Sex Individual Standards™ and SaferSex Standards Program™ are program names used to describe credential, disclosure, and accountability pathways for individuals working in sex-positive spaces.
Participation does not guarantee conduct, safety, or the absence of risk. It reflects an individual’s agreement to disclosed baseline standards.
