Down There Press is an independently run feminist book, DVD, and audiobook publisher that focuses on sexuality. It publishes both visual and literary erotica,[1] and is known for its publications on youth and adolescent sexuality.[1]

Down There Press was founded by sex educator Joani Blank in 1975 in San Francisco, California.[2] Blank's 1975 book The Playbook for Women About Sex was the first publication.[1] Blank has published all of her work through the press.

Herotica, a collection of women's erotica, was the first fiction series that the press published.[3]

Down There Press carries titles from authors such as Carol Queen, Jack Morin, Isadora Alman, Kate Dominic, Susie Bright, Cathy Winks, and Martha Cornog.[citation needed]
