LET'S TALK PORN WITH DR CAROLINE WEST
Do you have to have a giant penis or have sex for hours in order to have good sex? Nope!
Join the Sexual Wellness webinar with Dr Caroline West to talk all things porn. Do you have to have a giant penis or have sex for hours in order to have good sex? Nope! This workshop looks at some of the most common myths that we might see when watching porn. While many people watch porn, they might not have the skills to process everything they are seeing because they don't get good sex education that covers porn. We will discuss concerns about porn, and equip students with critical thinking skills in relation to porn and real world sex.?This workshop is not anti-porn but helps us to understand what we are seeing on screen.
All workshops are sex positive, inclusive of all genders and sexuality, and you will not be require to share any personal information. Participants can also win sexual wellness products and eco-friendly menstruation items.
Please note, this session will NOT be recorded.
