Let's Talk about Sex is back!

Have any questions rattling around in your mind about sex? Then post your questions on FB, twitter them or write them down, anonymously, at one of our question stations. No question is off limits. The purpose of this event is to have questions answered from a set of different perspectives by those in the know. Last year's event was respectful, fun and most of all informative. All genders are welcome. This is a unique opportunity. We promise to get to your questions in writing, post the answers on our blog or FB if you don't want to come in.
As always, treats, condoms and other goodies will be available to bring home.
