yes. Yes! YES!!! YAAASSSS!!!! We talk all about enthusiastic consent! We talk about all of the challenging communication pitfalls when discussing relationships, sex, intimacy, and expectations. We also address body autonomy both in our personal relationships and also with seeking health care and what challenges we face with authentic consent within medical settings. These are some really great skills to pick up that you won’t want to miss. We’ve got a really great panel as well! Tuesday Feral returns to the panel again and they are ALWAYS a crowd favorite! Elizabeth McCorvey is also back on stage (you might remember her from the Race and Sexuality panel). We also have Allister Styan of Planned Parenthood and Western North Carolina Community Health Services (affectionally knowns as WNCCHS). If you’re a medical or mental health provider, this one might have you thinking about what true consent looks like in an office setting with your clients/patients and how we can do better in a system that isn’t always optimal. 

Enjoy!

The mission of Vino & Vulvas® is to invite community between cross-disciplinary sexual health providers and the public, and to create conversation that encompasses the depth of inclusive human sexuality.

What's included?

  • One hour panel discussion
  • 45  minute anonymous Q&A with live audience

Who is this for?

Vino & Vulvas is always open to all genders, ages (18+), orientations, and races. We strive to be as legitimately inclusive as possible. Know that when you come to V&V, we’re trying hard to avoid heteronormative, cis-normative, white supremacist, sex-negative, patriarchal bullshit. 

About Vino & Vulvas®

We provide an open space for talking about challenging topics that are often taboo. We meet in a public venue to get out of the shadows and create an open community where all of us (women, men, genderqueer, trans, gay, straight, bisexual, experienced, newbies, kinky, vanilla, young, mature, all races etc.) can laugh and learn more about our sexual selves. We can start to bridge the gap between sexual healing practices, medical sexual health, and sex therapy. It's sure to be an exciting journey. Get comfy and and enjoy some edgy, inclusive, and informative conversation.
