Talks: The Sex Lectures – Changing The Conversation

  • Thu 06 Dec 2018
  • 6:30 pm
  • £12.00
BUY TICKETS share

Sex school image

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?

First of three evenings. Details below – click here for tickets to all three events. Join us for a drink at 6.30 / Talks start at 7.00pm.

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.

Experience includes:
* New perspectives on sex from people who are pioneering thought leaders
* Contemporary positions on sex
* Insights into the world of conscious sexuality
* Sexy ideas you have never heard of before
* An alternative meeting point to dating
* Cool Manchester Venue
