Talks: The Sex Lectures 2019 – Cutting Edge Dialogues of Desire
- Tue 23 Jul 2019
- 6:30 pm
- £17.00
The most important things are the hardest to talk about. In these three inspiring and connecting evenings, speakers with unique and cutting edge views on sexuality, relationships and love will share their ideas in pithy 12 minute talks.
Good sex can offer both connection and pleasure. It’s human to be fascinated by sexuality, yet with the rise in divorce, Tinder and porn, we’re wondering how the current reality could move beyond #MeToo and Cosmo to a greater understanding of the power of sexuality for connection, creativity, awareness and pleasure. How can we let love enlighten us, and sex truly enliven us?
Come and join us to begin a new conversation. These relaxed, fun, thought provoking evenings will include six to eight talks and time to meet and mingle. If you fancy dressing up and bringing a bit of glamour to the evening we would welcome you in your finery.
Third of four evenings taking place on May 28th, June 18th, July 23rd and September 19th. Speaker details below – click here for tickets to all four events. For all events, join us for a drink at 6.30 / Talks start at 7.00pm.
