Nina Hartley® is an American sex educator, author, speaker, activist, advocate and performer whose career spans more than four decades. With a background as a registered nurse, she brings a rare combination of clinical grounding, lived experience, and plainspoken clarity to conversations about sexuality, consent, pleasure, and communication. Her work consistently centers education, agency, and harm reduction, emphasizing sexuality as an integral part of overall health and well-being. Hartley earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from San Francisco State University, graduating magna cum laude before transitioning full-time into media and education work. That medical training continues to inform her approach, particularly her focus on accurate information, bodily autonomy, and ethical responsibility. She has long argued that honest, shame-free sexual education is essential not only for personal fulfillment but for healthier relationships and communities. In addition to her extensive career in adult media, Hartley has devoted much of her professional life to sex education. She has lectured at universities, participated in academic panels, and appeared in public forums addressing topics such as consent, feminist theory, free expression, and the social impact of sexual stigma. Her educational projects emphasize practical communication skills, enthusiastic consent, emotional literacy, and respect for boundaries, identity and desire. Hartley is the co-author of Nina Hartley’s Guide to Total Sex, an accessible, comprehensive resource that reflects her teaching philosophy: that sexual knowledge should be empowering, inclusive, and grounded in real-world experience. The book is a companion piece to her 40-volume video sex education series known collectively as the Nina Hartley® Guides. She has also appeared in mainstream film and television, most notably in Boogie Nights, and has been a frequent guest on talk shows and documentaries discussing sexuality and media ethics. An outspoken advocate for sex-positive feminism and free speech, Hartley has served on the boards of organizations supporting sexual education and performer rights. She is known for engaging thoughtfully with complex and often controversial issues, approaching them with humor, candor, emotional insight, emphasizing an insistence on nuance rather than moral panic. Today, Hartley continues to teach, write, and speak about intimacy, aging, long-term relationships, and sexual ethics. Her work remains guided by a belief that informed, consensual sexuality is not fringe or indulgent, but a fundamental aspect of human dignity and personal autonomy."
