📣 Calling all S*x-Nerds! 📣 Join us this Thursday, April 16th from 5:30-7:00 pm PT on Zoom for learning, community, and conversation in honor of S*xually Transmissible Infection Awareness Month! 🦠
First time? Fill out the interest survey (link in comments) to receive the Zoom link by email.
S*x education, at its most basic level, should give people information about health risks and harm-reduction, and we know that plenty of young people don’t even receive that. But we also know that comprehensive and inclusive s*x-ed should cover so much MORE THAN just the condom-on-the-banana (pun intended). Educators and researchers know that negative attitudes about s*xually transmissible infections (STIs) have the potential to do more harm than the infections themselves, because they lead people to avoid conversations, refuse to use barrier methods, and skip necessary medical care. Let’s brush up on our medical knowledge of s*xual health needs, and discuss how we can share this information with others in a way that respects autonomy and removes guilt, shame, and embarrassment.
S*x Nerds is a semi-monthly opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts of positive, inclusive, and affirming s*xuality education. We always begin with introductions and checking-in; topics and guest speakers vary, but questions and discussion are always welcome; and participants are always invited to share what they’re working on, promoting, or nerding-out about right now. Hope to see you there! 🤓
