Vision and Mission

Pepper Diet Academy (PDA) offers safe, affirming spaces for sober, sex-positive men to explore intimacy, connect deeply, and embrace their sexual identities without shame or reliance on substances and compulsive behaviors.

Grounded in the principles of 12-step recovery, PDA supports men in building confidence, communication, and community on their journey in celebrating their authentic selves and eroticism.

PDA Strives to:

  • Normalize shame-free, consensual intimacy among sober men who have sex with men
  • Provide tools for communicating desires, setting healthy boundaries, and navigating complex emotional dynamics
  • Support sobriety in sexually charged or triggering situations
  • Foster intimacy and connection that is not reliant on substance use or addictive behaviors
  • Integrate spirituality and sexuality for holistic well-being
