Soft Cock (Appreciation) Week began in 2022 as an impulse from founder and Surrogate Partner, Michelle Renee. Observing the hurdles her clients with penises were having around body acceptance and belief changes around pleasure, she decided to broaden the conversation out of the treatment room and onto the web. Now in year 3, and with new leadership , “SCW” is growing into a world-wide movement to educate, celebrate, and normalize the many ways that the phallus naturally ebbs and flows throughout the life journey. 

Like the Rooster that crows to meet the day, the human “Cock” often has something to tell us about how the whole organism is doing. Soft Cock Week is, at its core, an appreciation for the flaccid phallus both as it is and for what it may be asking of us to “awaken” for the good of our physical and mental well-being. Soft Cock (Appreciation) Week is our offering to come together to broaden our understanding of the gaps in our sex education, physical and mental health supports, and cultural beliefs and family systems that all contribute to erectile variability. 

Our mission is to provide a supportive, informative, and fun place for people to explore, ask questions, share new ideas, and discover for themselves that the body can be a rich source of pleasure no matter how the penis shows up. We also acknowledge and honor that feelings of isolation, vulnerability, grief, shame, frustration, and confusion often accompany erectile issues, be it your own or your partners, and that offering knowledge, compassion, resources, and community are essential to well-being and our capacities for continued growth throughout the life journey.

We invite you to look through all of the menu options where you will find recordings and resources from previous years, a growing crowd-sourced reference section, a blog for people to share their experiences and insights, and our “love notes” where you can read and submit words of kindness and celebration for your own joy of all that soft cocks have to offer.
