6. Sex Talks: hot sex summer at Shoreditch House
The topic of shame comes up a lot in discussions about sex: shame around our level of sexual experience, our bodies, religious taboos, societal taboos, and STIs. So, in the name of the hot sex summer we all want and deserve, this Sex Talks session explores how we can rid ourselves of sexual shame and better explore our sensuality. The panel, which is hosted by Sex Talks host and creator Emma-Louise Boynton, features Rukiat and the ultimate advocate for shame-free sex, Scotty Unfamous.
