(Spring) Week 3: Masculinity and Healthy Sexuality

Hey Fellas,
So this week we'll be talking broadly about how masculinity and sexuality interrelate in various ways.  The big question of the week is:
What does it mean to foster/encourage/embody healthy sexuality? 

This question is a really important question for us to be asking because from what I've seen, there are very few people trying to genuinely answer it. 

-What types of conversations about sexuality do men have?

-Why might it be difficult for men to have honest conversations about sexuality more regularly?

-What are the messages that we as men have gotten around sexuality?

-How can some of these be problematic?

-How does homophobia relate to masculinity and gender?

-How have expectations for men's sexuality been constructed? 

-And ultimately, what does it mean to have a healthy sexuality?!

For this discussion we'll be working from a "sex positive" framework.  Please read the following article (it's short) before the session so we can incorporate sex positivity into our discussion: http://lacigreen.tv/what-is-sex-positive

Ok, I hope to see you all there and I'm excited to hear what ya'll have to say!
