We live in a world where not everyone has equal access to safe, comfortable, and truly welcoming places to seek sexual pleasure. The sex positivity movement has made many strides in creating a community for people of different sexual orientations and relationship styles to enjoy exploration free from shame. We still have many more steps to go so that everyone from all racial identities can find sexy connections and be our truest selves in our community without stereotypes, fear and oppression.

Join other members and guests of many Sex Positive World chapters for a 21-DAY Sex Positive Anti-Racist Challenge.  This personal journey, in the company of others, is aimed at inspiring and challenging those of us with the most racial privilege to become more skillful and aware in everyday interracial interactions especially in sex positive places and spaces.

We welcome everyone that is interested in learning more about how racial equity affects all aspects of our lives including the free expression of sexuality. This is a space for growth, a space to do our own work, expand our understanding, and likely encounter uncomfortable feelings.  It’s important work and we hope you’ll step into it with us.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

Everyone is welcome. With that said, this is a space where white people are being asked to do the work to become more aware and better skilled in sex positive community without burdening or troubling people of color to do the educating and endure the learning process.  If you are a person of color and would like to attend the gatherings offered with this 21 Day Challenge, you are welcome though we realize that it might be painful for you to observe others in this learning process.
