Sex With Cancer

People living with cancer have a reason to smile and can now get back their sex life.

The first sex shop specifically catering for cancer survivors is now open for business and has launched online.

The online shop called Sex with Cancer is Britain’s first sex shop and designed for those ‘living with and beyond cancer’. 

According to its homepage, Sex with Cancer is “an online shop, an art work and a public campaign exploring how people living with and beyond cancer can take agency over their own health and wellbeing”. 

The shop was founded by two cancer survivors, Brian Lobel and Joon-Lynn Goh – both of whom have overcome cancer, in partnership with Sh! Women’s Erotic Emporium.

Sex With Cancer shop comes stocked with a wide variety of the latest sex toys and products aimed at providing ‘the maximum versatility and pleasure possible.’  

The products are designed to tackle problems caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy such as exhaustion, weight changes, low libido, erectile dysfunction, vaginal dryness, and heightened infection risks.  

Though co-creator Brian says Sex with Cancer is so much more than a shop, it is also an online resource which aims to answer peoples’ difficult questions and break down barriers and taboos around talking about sex and cancer.
