Women’s sexual experiences and exploration has seemingly existed as a source of pleasure, power, and consumption of men. As a result, there are many stereotypes about how women should perform their sexuality which has also impacted feelings of body autonomy. Defining the erotic self strengthens the sexual voice and challenges “the do’s and don’ts” of women’s sexuality. From erotic literature to candlelit baths, explore what stimulates you and leads to the discovery of your authentic and most erotic self. By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Explore different forms of eroticism
• Discover ways to get in tune with their erotic self
• Create an Erotic Care Plan

Afrosexology was birthed out of a desire to experience a more sex-positive Black community. One that encourages self agency & promotes love in regards to bodies, relationships, and sexualities. One that liberates from the sexual shame & policing inherited from generations of sexual & body oppression. One that follows in the tradition of Black sexual politics by seeking to rediscover & reclaim sexuality. Their mission is to educate, explore, and reclaim Black sexuality. Their vision is to promote Black self empowerment through sexual liberation. Read more about them on their website www.afrosexology.com.
