Center Youth: Lights Out (Sex Education Workshops)

Join us for a queer sex education workshop! This weekly session will touch on different topics each week. We'll discuss everything sex-related, including consent, the signs of healthy and unhealthy relationships, STI's and safer sex, as well as pleasure.

WORKSHOP TOPICS THAT WILL BE COVERED:

 February 1- Consent: 

• Identify verbal and nonverbal cues for rejection, ambivalence, and enthusiastic consent.
• Unpack the concept of body autonomy and understand the idea of consent as an extension of people’s bodies, no matter the age.

February 8- Healthy relationships: 

• Identify and describe the warning signs of both unhealthy and abusive relationships.
• Develop an understanding of the components of power and control. 

February 15- STI’s & Safer Sex:

• Explore the fundamentals of safer sex
• Offer practical strategies to reduce the risk of the most serious sexually transmitted infections while understanding that there isn’t complete risk elimination for every possible condition.
• Provide insight on how to make whatever precautions you choose feel as pleasurable as possible.

February 22- Pleasure: 

• An exploration of pleasure as a liberating practice, extending beyond sex and possibly not involving sex at all.
