  1. I went to this event and I thought it was spectacular. It was amazing how open all our guest speakers were and it eliminated the stigma towards female masturbation and sex toys in the bed room. It was also really entertaining with all they had on display and I cannot Wait to go to next semesters sex positivity workshop.

  2. This event was so much fun! It was a great opportunity for anyone with a vulva to educate themselves on their own body and what worked best with it. The speakers were amazing and open to whatever questions were asked. Definitely look forward to future workshops from the GSEC!
