Sex Education Project: Participant Story Submissions |
This project aims to shake up sex education by illustrating people's sex stories, with a focus on the things that get left out of the mainstream heterosexual reproductive focus. This project is about showcasing the true diversity of what makes up our sex lives. Sex can be funny, messy, confusing, awkward, scary, weird, exciting, boring and so much more. By asking participants to share a sex story alongside three things they felt during and three things they felt after, these illustrations will demonstrate not just a diversity of sexual experiences, but also how the emotions one feels during and after sex can vary too. You can see examples of the drawings here.
