In this gathering we will explore topics surrounding sek.sual health and the transmission of sek.sual diseases. In a world that attaches a tremendous amount of shame to STDs, we hope to create a safe environment to share stories and advice when it comes to sek.sual health, in the hopes of destigmatising and normalising those conversations.
Together we will explore:
- Shame around sek.sualhealth
- How to have safe sek.s talks with partners or lovers
- Normalising getting tested
- Feeling "dirty" with a diagnosis
- Responsibility over your own sek.sual health
A large quantity of sek.sually active adults have had an experience related to STDs, but often conversations regarding intimate health are still not being had openly and honestly. With the popularity of sek.s-positive spaces and non-monogamous pairings in recent years we want to encourage open dialogue about these topics to allow for safer experiences. This discussion is open to everyone, whether you have something, had something, had a "scare" or are just intrigued by the topic, all stories are welcome.
This is not a space for medical advice regarding sek.sual health, but rather an open room to share experiences and seek guidance on how to navigate the topic.
The group will have a maximum of 20 participants, to support confidentiality and trust in the group for connecting and sharing.
Host
Imogen originally comes from the UK, but has spent the majority of her adult life living and loving in Oslo. She is a trained in.ti.macy coordinator for film and TV, working with consent, safety and in.ti.mate choreography for screen. Fascinated with all things relational, she uses a large part of her time reading up on sek.s, relationships and human connection. She is non-monogamous, queer, sek.s-positive and k1nky, and uses all of these identities to inform her work, allowing for a multifaceted approach to in.ti.macy.
Through Mashti Community events she hopes to help people explore these different forms of intimacy and push the boundaries of what it means to be "normal" in a world full of differences.
