Carol Queen is an American author, editor, sociologist and sexologist active in the sex-positive feminism movement. Queen has written on human sexuality in books such as Real Live Nude Girl: Chronicles of Sex-Positive Culture. She has written a sex tutorial, Exhibitionism for the Shy: Show Off, Dress Up and Talk Hot, as well as erotica, such as the novel The Leather Daddy and the Femme. Queen has produced adult movies, events, workshops and lectures. Queen was featured as an instructor and star in both installments of the Bend Over Boyfriend series about female-to-male anal sex, or pegging. Carol has also served as editor for compilations and anthologies.

Queen moved to San Francisco in the late 1980s to obtain a sexology degree at the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. Queen claims she kept dropping out (of school) to go learn on the street. Part of her immersion in the local San Francisco sex culture involved getting a job as a stripper at the strip-club The Lusty Lady, working as a prostitute, attending local sex parties such as the Jack and Jill Parties (which Queen later went on to host herself), initiating her own "Queen of Heaven" paganism-inspired string of sex parties, writing essays and poetry about sex for local magazines, and became a safer sex advocate in 1986 in Eugene Oregon at the Willamette AIDs Council in response to the AIDS crisis.

Queen serves as staff sexologist to Good Vibrations, the San Francisco sex toy retailer. In this function, Carol designed an education program which has trained many other current and past Good Vibrations-based sex educators, including Violet Blue, Charlie Glickman and Staci Haines.
