SEXtember 2022: PILLOWTALK – Pleasure, porn, play and everything in between

Bring your pillow, grab a brownie and a cuppa and join professional Sex Coach Georgia Grace, Harrison Sarasola from ACON, sexual health educator Jay Reddy and host, Nayonika Bhattacharya, for an open panel discussion to answer those sex and relationship questions that keep you awake at night! 

Let's face it, great sex often takes experience. Why not unlock some secrets and fast-track your knowledge by understanding a little more about pleasure, desire and how to use communication to improve your intimate experiences? We'll also be discussing the role porn can play in enhancing your sex life, and the line that can be crossed with excessive consumption.

No questions are off limits in this fun, safe, inclusive and open session, and you can even ask your questions anonymously.

NORMAL our event partners are throwing in some terrific prizes from their range of sex toys, and there will be no shortage of condoms available. NORMAL is an Australian sexual wellness company reinventing the sex store and together with UNSW, they’re bringing you an experience that will get you in the mood.  

We're excited to have 3 amazing panellists joining us, along with Nayonika our host.
