*This episode is a live recording of a previous Sex Talks event.*

The 5th installment of Sex Talks focused on challenging the cultural script around sex and relationships (you’ve got to find ‘the one’; you need an ‘other half’ to be fulfilled; sex is all about that P in V… you get the picture) and exploring the myriad factors that shape sexuality, including shitty sex ed and reductive gender norms.

We delved into how we can then challenge these ideas, with a particular focus on polyamory and what we might all be able to learn from those who take an ethically non-monogamous approach to relationships.

My dreamy panel included the brilliant, Bronwyn Griffiths @minkaguides (aka 'Fanny Minka' of @sink_the_pink) - a queer polyamorous writer and performer.

Bronwyn's blog, Minka Guides, is all about celebrating life beyond the norm, which is exactly what we did during this Sex Talks.

I was also joined be the equally fabulous @almazohene - sex educator and activist, award-winning writer and soon-to-be author who is currently doing some fascinating research on all that’s shaped people’s approach to sex.

And last but not least, Nadine Noor Ahmad, aka international DJ (who typically goes by the name Nadine Artois) and co-founder of Pxssy Palace, the club night and collective that prioritizes womxn and queer/intersex/trans people of color.
