I’m Ellie Pope,
Wild Wiggle Founder and Chief Wiggler.

Before I became a Wild Wiggler, all I knew about sex I’d learned from doing the sex act itself, and by studying (and I do mean really studying!) “Cosmopolitan” and The Joy of Sex. I learned quite a bit, but something was still missing: I enjoyed sex, but didn’t love it; I couldn’t climax easily; and I was nervous talking about it.

Three years ago, things changed. An acquaintance invited me to open a sex shop to serve the needs of women. At first, it seemed like an exciting idea—I could create and teach classes and spend my days talking to people about a wonderful subject.

But it wasn’t that easy. After growing up in a small town, the last thing I wanted was another “bad reputation” under my belt. Second, I would be a complete fraud. If I had trouble reaching orgasm, how could I possibly advise potential shoppers?

I knew I couldn’t open the shop, yet I was completely hooked by the subject, and couldn’t tear myself away. I spent the next three years learning all I could about sex and sexuality. I studied systems from the East and the West; the process of activating and directing sexual energy and the relationship between the masculine and feminine energies.

In the process, I discovered the true nature of love, self-worth, self-acceptance and freedom of mind. I realized that pleasure—not just sex—is an extremely powerful force. It helps us feel good and see things in a positive light; it helps us connect with our inner nature and our partner; and it allows us to be generous and gracious as we make our way through life. Of course, sex is pleasurable, but so are so many other life experiences: exercising, laughing out loud with a group of friends or sinking into a warm bed.

Unfortunately, pleasure’s been given a bad rap. We’re actually taught to avoid this very powerful life force. It’s bad to feel too good. I’ve run into issues of shame, doubt – even anger when I try to experience more pleasure. As do others.

So I created Wild Wiggle to help others experience what I experience: Love for myself, pleasure in my body and intimacy with my partner. Truly, this was my calling. Three principles of life that can change it for the better forever.

Principles that work together:
When you love yourself, you naturally feel pleasure and feel safe being intimate.
When you feel pleasure, you naturally love yourself more and enjoy intimacy.
And when you experience intimacy, you experience more love for yourself and more pleasure in your body.

I invite you to join us as we experience a better, more pleasurable life together.

Dedicated to love, pleasure and intimacy,

Chief Wiggler
