Cindy Pierce

Cindy Pierce, a distinguished social sexuality educator and comic storyteller, has carved a unique niche in the realm of educational entertainment. Emerging from a vibrant upbringing as the youngest of seven siblings, she gained a profound insight into human dynamics and relationships from an early age. This rich tapestry of family life, coupled with her experiences as a female athlete on co-ed teams, endowed her with a rare perspective that seamlessly bridges gender divides. A New Hampshire native, Cindy has captivated audiences with her one-woman show since 2004, intertwining humor and empirical research to illuminate the complex landscape of sexuality in a media-saturated world. Pierce's seminal work, "Sexploitation: Helping Kids Develop Healthy Sexuality in a Porn-Driven World," stands as a cornerstone in contemporary discussions about adolescent sexuality. This book, co-authored with "Finding the Doorbell," addresses the pervasive influence of pornography and media on youth, providing vital insights and guidance for fostering healthy sexual development. Her contributions to the field have not gone unnoticed—honored as one of New Hampshire's 14 Remarkable Women of the Arts and celebrated as a 'Vagina Warrior' by Dartmouth College's Center for Women and Gender, Cindy's advocacy for women's empowerment and the prevention of sexual assault is both profound and unwavering. Renowned for her candid and engaging style, Pierce adeptly navigates the delicate balance between education and humor, drawing audiences into a dialogue that is both enlightening and entertaining. Her work transcends traditional barriers, offering a refreshing and often hilarious exploration of sensitive topics. By transforming personal mishaps into teachable moments, she fosters a safer, healthier understanding of sexuality. Residing in Etna, N.H., with her husband Bruce and their three children, Cindy continues to inspire and educate from the heart of the community she loves, where they also manage the family-owned Pierce’s Inn.
