A night of chatting and myth busting for anyone interested in sex education, sexual health, how we relate to the people around us.
About this Event

Join us for a night of chatting and myth busting in Glasgow!


The Sex Positive Reading Group is for anyone interested in learning more about sex education, sexual health, how we relate to the people around us, and how society impacts that. We welcome people of all genders, sexualities and ages in a non-pressured, non-academic setting.

Reading materials will be provided and we'll be discusssing one chapter per book (which we read beforehand): we want anyone to feel and be able to participate! If you have accessibility requests or other queries, send us an email at [email protected].

Note: This event is for participants aged 18 and over. This reading group is a mixed space, i.e. it welcomes both straight and queer people, just so you know what (and whom) to expect when joining us.



Our 2025 readings



August

In August, we are reading an excerpt from The Velvet Rage: Overcoming the Pain of Growing Up Gay in a Straight Man's World, which you can find here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s-S2bxmUwKXkxlZ6Pwifsa78EnjpiSL2/view?usp=sharing



September

In September, we are reading an excerpt from Disability Intimacy: Essays on Love, Care, and Desire. Chapter selection to be announced soon.


You can access every reading we have discussed in the group here.



Suggestions for a healthy conversation

- Don’t assume anyone’s race, gender, class, sexuality, or ability.

- Be mindful of how you show up in the space - do you usually talk a lot or don’t talk much? - try to step back if you tend to talk in the group easily, or step forward if you don’t.

- Respect other people’s knowledge, questions, thoughts, and experiences.

- Don’t feel pressured to share your personal experience, but feel welcome to. If you do, be mindful of how it could impact others.

You can find our full community guidelines here.
