Descriptions of Workshops:
Why Good Girls Don't...and Do. Girls and young women receive many conflicting messages: Be a good girl. Boys will only like you if you put out. Show off your body to get attention and worth. Don't be a slut. It can be difficult for young women to negotiate what they do and don't want, and to be able to voice that in a healthy way. This interactive lecture delves into the power that young women have and how they can make choices that honor their bodies, health, feelings, and future.

The BIG Picture with Sex (and Healthy Sexuality for College Students). What does it mean to live a sexually healthy life? This interactive lecture delves into the physical aspects of STDs/STIs and what is most important to know about symptoms and risk factors. Then the program explores the “bigger picture” around sex and sexuality, including the varied reasons why people have sex, fears around sex, safer sex ideas, and sexual fun facts to keep things light and fun! Way beyond the physical aspects of sexual health, this lecture explores the mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components that get to the heart of sexual health.

Love My Body – How Do I Do That? We hear the message “Love Your Body,” but what does that really mean and how can we do that? This interactive lecture explores media depictions of bodies and the consumer culture around that, as well as gender socialization, components of body-image, what we can do to support each other, and skills to build a strong foundation for self-love physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. The focus here is on women’s bodies, but the messages and skills are relevant to all.

Erotic Play: Making Intimacy Fun & Sexy. Exploring our erotic sides requires being creative, authentic, and open to intimacy. This lecture brings this playful and creative perspective to eroticism and engages students to think outside the box. Topics covered include using the senses in play, sex toys and lubricants, safety, mental stimulation, emotional releasing, and mindful presence. A fun, lively, and memorable discussion!

Your Sex Questions Answered. In a culture of discomfort with honest discussions around sex, and a predilection for abstinence-only education in high schools, there are many myths and misconceptions for college students around sex, gender differences, and body parts and functions. This lecture is an open discussion where basic misconceptions will be addressed and then participants can anonymously submit questions and have their personal questions answered.

Female Sexual Empowerment for the 21st Century. Is a young woman in Girls Gone Wild sexually liberated? Or is she following gendered scripts of what it means to be valuable as a woman? Young women are socialized with many conflicting messages about what it means to be a woman, in a relationship, sexually active, and empowered. This interactive lecture digs at the many layers of awareness and worth women have, and how to tap into that in loving and empowering ways.
