David Wichman is an award-winning author, speaker, and advocate for sexual freedom and well-being. Known for his raw honesty and compassionate voice, David’s work dives into the messy, beautiful intersections of shame, desire, and self-acceptance with fearless vulnerability. His memoir, *Every Grain of Sand*, earned numerous accolades including the 2024 American Legacy Book Award in LGBTQ+ Nonfiction, establishing him as a vital voice within the LGBTQ+ community. With over 18 years of experience as a sex worker, David brings a deeply personal perspective to his writing, challenging societal comfort zones and offering nuanced reflections on the complexities of sex, intimacy, and healing. His latest book, *The Four Rooms: An InQueery on Sexual Freedom and Well-being*, invites readers to uncover silenced parts of themselves, guiding them toward deeper connection, pleasure, and self-acceptance. Raised in Fremont, California, David’s life has been marked by transformation. After surviving a childhood of neglect and abuse, followed by years of addiction and homelessness, he found lasting freedom from addiction in 2005. That pivotal turning point led him to a life of purpose, community, and exploration. In 2009, David founded *The Male Adventure*, a travel-companion company that has taken clients on life-changing journeys across all seven continents. His adventures—ranging from safaris in Africa to bungee jumping in New Zealand—have enriched his understanding of human resilience, vulnerability, and connection. An advocate and ally, David supports causes related to HIV/AIDS, marginalized communities, and animal welfare. He also developed the widely celebrated workshop “Sex, Love, and Intimacy: Writing Your Way to New Relationships,” which has been presented internationally at recovery retreats and conferences. Through bold storytelling and thought-provoking insights, David continues to open doors to meaningful conversations about identity and sexual well-being. He lives in California’s Coachella Valley with his partner Todd and their three dogs, embracing life with curiosity, compassion and a unending supply of terrible dad jokes.
