Meet Michelle Renee - Soft Cock Week Founder
Hello!!! I’m Michelle Renee, the founder of Soft Cock Appreciation Week. I’m a surrogate partner and professional cuddler based in San Diego. I’m so excited that you are here and interested in learning more about ED. Maybe it’s affecting you personally, perhaps you’re here to support a partner, or maybe it’s some completely different reason! Either way, I welcome you!
I launched Soft Cock Appreciation Week in November 2022 after a few podcast interviews where I dropped this “crazy idea” that we needed an educational week around flaccid phallus due to too many people reaching out and asking me to help them “because my penis doesn’t stay hard the entire time during sex”. While I know that our sex education is inadequate, these types of questions were making me scream. I thought, “It has to be porn. You clearly think that porn is an accurate representation of how penises function.” They aren’t meant to stay hard during the entire sexual experience and we don’t need them to. My desire for SCW was to normalize a soft penis and expand our definition of “sex” so that a soft penis didn’t stop us from having sex. Bonus, I wanted to celebrate my love for softness. A few colleagues encouraged me to put my money where my mouth was and start it! So on September 29, 2022, I launched SoftCockWeek.com.
That first year was wild! I’m super enthusiastic about soft penises. I LOVE the way they feel, how they look, they are fun to play with. I can go on and on. And… I quickly learned that many of the people showing up for those first offerings were experiencing grief. They weren’t coming to our events to hear me gush about my love of their softness. Note, I have had many clients appreciate my enthusiasm and I feel confident that even if the people in that first year’s offerings weren’t at the place to hear it, at some point it will be a comfort to know that some of us really do love a soft cock!
I did adjust my approach the next year.
In year two I started thinking about moving on from the project of Soft Cock Week. I love starting things. I really dislike keeping them going. That year I met Erica Leroye. She had passion, maybe even more than I started with initially. She seemed like a great person to pass the baton to. After SCW 2023, I asked if she’d like to take over. Thankfully she was a big yes!
The Soft Cock Week you are seeing today is all her. I lovingly joke that Erica is my “co-parent” but really she’s the primary parent with full custody. I’m here to support her and this project is now her baby. I couldn’t have left SCW in better hands.
My invitation is to look around. Take what works for you. Leave the rest. If you find that you can’t find what you need, let Erica know. We desire for this to be a space of collaboration. Join us in that collaboration!
