Join us for an intimate, rogue and thought-provoking evening where speakers with bold, cutting-edge perspectives will share their ideas in six compelling 12-minute talks. Topics will range from modern sex education to the mysteries of erotic encounters.

How can we let love enlighten us and eros enliven us? Eroticism can be fascinating for all sorts of reasons and how can we deepen our awareness of the power of sexuality to foster connection, consent, creativity, and pleasure? These relaxed, engaging evenings invite open conversation, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connections. With six inspiring talks and ample time to meet and mingle, we invite you to join us.

Hosted by Ali Pilling 

Unusually for The Sex Lectures, this time, we’re focusing on LOVE. 

Lex Ryder - The Privilege of Love

Christina Bebbington- Enduring Love

Jane Crane - Cosmic Orgasmic Love

Curtis Wignall - The Power of Permission - Self Love through Photography

Justine Potter - A Queer Love Story - Going off script. Embracing the deliciousness of the unknowing

James Hodgson - The End of Love - what can same sex divorce tell us about break-ups?

These lineups could change as impermanence is the name of the game. The event is 7.30 pm - 10 pm, you're welcome to arrive from 7 pm. The mingling is part of the fun, connecting, and building sex-positive community.  After the event, we move to the bar at 53Two, to continue the conversation and meet some of the speakers.
