4/2: Odd Girl Out: Straddling the Fields of Sexual Pleasure and Health, Washington, DC

Megan — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 19:06:19 +0000

What: Momentum Conference

The phenomenal growth of online communication has given rise to an amazing amount of sharing, learning and experimenting with different expressions of sexuality, relationships and feminism. MOMENTUM provides a safe place to listen, discuss and learn about the ways the web has impacted our sexuality without the fear of reprisal or shaming. It is a space for acceptance and appreciation of diversity, including for those in the LGBTQ, sex-work, BDSM and non-monogamous communities.

During MOMENTUM we will discuss ways to bridge the baffling dichotomies our culture creates around sexuality. While on one hand we have unprecedented sexual freedom, on the other we continue to police sexuality with a frightening vigor. Abortion laws, restrictions on gay marriage, abstinence programs, medicalization of sex, fear of pornography and prosecutions for teenage sexting are examples of one side of the spectrum. The discomfort that strives to make us keep our sexuality hidden conflicts with the use of sex — especially the female body — to sell everything from food to cars to “performance enhancing” products.

Each participant will leave the conference with new perspectives, new connections, and a plan to carry the MOMENTUM forward into 2011 and beyond.

Topic: Odd Girl Out: Straddling the Fields of Sexual Pleasure and Health

Since Kinsey’s groundbreaking work on human sexual behavior, the scientific study of sexual pleasure has been ridiculed. In the modern field of sexual education, a huge gulf exists between the culturally safe subject of sexual health and the risqué research on sexual pleasure. The professionals who attempt to do credible work on sexual pleasure are often shamed, discredited, or even ostracized for such heresy.

How can these two worlds co-exist?

In this workshop, participants will learn about the leading organizations and individuals that are working to bridge the gaps between sexual pleasure and health. Attendees will also learn how to advocate for scientific research into sexual pleasure and will walk away with skills to better handle the backlash that can (and often will) erupt. With style and grace, you too can learn how to stand strong and proud for sex positive education.

When: Saturday, April 2nd, 9:00-10:10 am

Audience: Momentum Attendees

Cost: $55.00
