Website O.school
O.school is seeking freelance writers (with a path to “permalance” positions with recurring weekly assignments) to help us with our mission of reaching billions of people and helping them learn about sexual wellness. We are building a database of vetted sexual health research, so that we can aid our writers to build the best science-based sexuality content online.
Topics include answering common questions around reproductive health (Why does my clit hurt?), sexuality (How do I give a handjob?), relationships (Why is my partner always horny?), communication (How do I talk to my kids about porn?) and more.
