Sex Week: Raising Awareness in the Ivy-covered Halls
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard University’s Sex Week empowers the student community to explore issues of love, sex, gender and relationships. Sex Week actively engages Harvard students in embracing, thinking about and discussing their experiences with their own sexualities.
The annual, week-long event is run by the student organization Sexual Health Education and Advocacy Throughout Harvard College (SHEATH). Their goal is to connect diverse individuals and communities through common human experiences and to open a dialogue about critical issues. Many Harvard students have expressed their gratitude for SHEATH and the events they put together. Some have said “It’s nice to be open and actually talk to a person about these topics,” while others have stated, “I feel like I learned more in this one event than I did in high school sex ed.”
During the event, students have the opportunity to attend 12 different seminars, ranging from Sex Toys 101: Feel Those Good Vibrations to Unleashed: Kink 101. The final workshop is focused on Sexual Myth-busting and will be an interactive workshop hosted by the Sex Week board of directors. To celebrate the culmination of this year’s event, the board will give away a CalExotics gift basket to one lucky attendee.
“Education is a key component to ensuring we succeed in our mission of helping people find more joy in their lives,” said CalExotics founder and Chief Executive Officer Susan Colvin. “It is simple: The more you know, the better equipped you’ll be to make good decisions when it comes to your body and overall sexual health.”
This year marks CalExotics’s sixth consecutive year as a sponsor of Harvard’s Sex Week. According to Colvin, CalExotics has been focused on promoting sexual health and wellness since the company’s inception.
