2019 Xtensive Health Workshop
Our first event on Sex and Relationship Education
*Please not this event has already taken place, but upcoming events will be updated*
Education around Sexual Wellbeing applies to every single person on this planet (including asexual before you say it!). It is about more than just talk on pregnancy, STI’s and how to put on a condom. SO.MUCH.MORE.
When it comes to wellbeing, humans are limited with how much we can educate and empower others, based on our own knowledge and experiences.
- For 30 seconds, just think back to your own sex education (pause for 30 seconds and watch a dry ball of hay drifting across your memory).
I appreciate most (if not all) of us, did not have a compulsory and structured sex-ed model to help navigate the world of healthy relationships from childhood. We sometimes even get to a point where we question our own choices both good and bad, as an adult.
However, a lot of the experiences people go through as a child and adolescent, plant a very important seed in terms of the types of relationships we form and overall mental health. After all, a switch doesn’t magically flick at the age of 18 where we think ‘okay - now I am going to make all the “right” decisions’.
When thinking about relationships - we usually categorise them into sexual, plutonic and family types. We also use the word relationships with work, business and markets. Really and truly, relationships are a fundamental part of human behaviour.
Sex is no longer only about reproduction. Sexuality is not just about wives and husbands and gender is not limited by binary biology. Relationships have evolved, along with so many other things - most noticeably technology. Late really is better than never on this occasion. We can compensate for how late quality RSE actually is, by now getting in there early for the future generations. I can guarantee that this will be a RSE event like no other.
This event will run from 12pm to 5pm. There will also be guest speakers addressing specialist topics. Inclusivity and diversity will flow throughout. Refreshments/drinks/dessert and lunch will be provided.
