Conversations about pleasure are often left out of sexuality education curricula as it is a topic that can be misunderstood and viewed as taboo. As a result, risk-reduction frameworks that narrowly focus on pregnancy and STI prevention overlook the importance of educating young people about positive and consensual sexual relationships. It doesn’t have to be this way! This half-day training helps educators teach comprehensive sex ed in a way that includes pleasure while still providing students with valuable health and safety information. This workshop will cover ways to be pleasure-inclusive in typical sex education lessons about consent, communication, and anatomy. Participants will leave this training ready to bring honest, empowering, and non-stigmatizing conversations about sexual health into their classrooms. Registration link here.
