Asking and Answering on the Sex-Positive Spectrum: Enthusiastic Yes, Comfortable No, Clear & Coherent Maybe

It’s a fraught time for sex–but when isn’t it? So few of us get really good education or clear-boundaried mentoring about becoming sexually active people, and just having apps to get us partway there isn’t enough. We all deserve to feel like we’ve got what we need to communicate about sexual interest, issues–the whole tangle. But do we really? Let’s break it down! Sexologist Carol Queen PhD will consider our right to desire (but not necessarily to always get what we desire–that part is contingent); context, respect and communications skills; the “#metoo” implications of all this; and share thoughts on what it means to feel free in your sex life to say yes, no, and even maybe.

***This will be a free lecture with the purchase of a Museum ticket. Seats are limited, first come first served. Please arrive early.
