Reproductive justice, briefly—and why it belongs here

Reproductive justice centers the right to bodily autonomy, to have or not have children, and to parent in safe, sustainable communities. TOUCHY/FEELY supports this by creating playful, affirming space for honest conversation about consent, desire, and care; by building communication skills essential for healthy, informed decision-making; and by offering inclusive, restorative environments to unpack social pressures around sex, gender, and intimacy. When we center vulnerability, mutual respect, and self-awareness, we build the emotional literacy that underpins reproductive freedom and holistic well-being.

How the TOUCHY/FEELY intimacy card game works

• Four levels of play (from light to deeper) to match comfort
• Talk + touch prompts with clear consent and the ability to pass anytime
• Emotional Conversion Card to help translate feelings into words
• Solo, partner, group-friendly and facilitator-ready for pros

Pro tip: Start one level below your comfort zone. Let your body say “yes” first—then go deeper.
