Laci Green is a self-styled "sexual futurist" who has been posting vlogs on YouTube since joining the site in 2007.
Similar to fellow vlogger The Amazing Atheist, her early videos (under the YouTube channel "gogreen18") were geared toward anti-theism and religious politics . In 2008, Laci reinvented herself through a weekly series of vlogs (now titled "Sex +"), in which her discourse has shifted toward relationship advice and social commentary.
Laci is juggling three Youtube usernames, with her main channel hosting over one million subscribers. She also manages a Sex + blog, filled with random musings as well as tasteful 'reviews' of various sex toys and prophylactics (NSFW, obviously), which can be found here.

- Sadly, this is the case offline as well as on.
"Having big boobs, people feel like it's really important to tell you that, y'know, when you get older they won't be so awesome; they're gonna be sagging to the ground. Basically, like, 'You better be feeling like shit about those boobs, Laci Green.' And at sixteen I was like, "Okay, mission accomplished, I officially feel like shit about myself now, are you happy?" But today at twenty-two, I'm back to say 'Mission Unaccomplished, Bitch.'"
