Who’s Cool Jane? What is #SEXHAPPENS?
We are exposed to viruses and bacteria every day, and get sick and get better without all the stigma. No one would feel ashamed that they got a cold. No one would feel ashamed that they got the flu. However, all of a sudden you get an infection that is transmitted just a little bit differently, and it changes your whole perspective!
#SEXHAPPENS is a sex-positive podcast dismantling the stigma of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) through storytelling, interviews, and resources.
Have a story to share? We are actively seeking bold advocates to share their stories about sex and STDs.
Ideas include:
Consent & Disclosure
Positive Growth
Personal Sexual Health Regimens
Fetishes, Kinks, Orgies, and Sex Parties
Gender & Orientation
All podcast stories should have a connection to STDs in some way! All podcasts can be done anonymously, with pseudonyms or of course, as yourself!
