ABSTRACT
Sexuality education consultants are doing a range of work that requires creativity, innovation, networking, collaboration, and risk-taking. By and large, sexuality consultants are not making significant amounts of money, yet their success stories indicate the commitment, enthusiasm with which they approach their work, as well as the satisfaction it brings them. Using an informal mixed methods survey, the authors identified types of work being done by sexuality education consultants, their formal education, and the sources of their additional training. Also explored were consulting income, success stories, and responses to disappointments and disillusionment, which are common experiences in consulting practice. Analysis identified the importance of networking and community building. These and other findings should help sexuality educators discern whether consulting is a viable option for them.
