The Sex Ed You Never Had with Laneway Learning

  • Victoria University Student Union (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

When it comes to sex education, for a lot of us, we were lucky if we were taught where babies come from. If we weren’t lucky, we had some really damaging ideas about sex and our bodies reinforced to us.

Well, it’s never too late to learn! Let’s brush up on the basics and fill those knowledge gaps!

Tickets free here (link in bio): https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/405971621047

We’ll cover ‘pleasure anatomy’ – what feels good where, and why. We’ll take a look at our identity and how that shapes our experience of sex. And we’ll look at how to talk to potential sexual partners about what we do and don’t want.

Important Info:
This event is for current Victoria University students only. Tickets are free, but essential!
