We have 40 events this week-- we hope there is something for everyone, though feel free to attend all events if you would like! Our goal is to provide a space, perhaps an excuse, to start a conversation about everything related to sex and sexuality, and hope that this openness and communicativeness about any other everyday topic continues far beyond the week.

Sex Week aims to create an open, safe, and supportive space to discuss sex, a subject that has some importance to all of us, which can be source of excitement, passion, opinion, discomfort, shyness, or pain. We are proud to provide inclusive information and conversations around sex to our diverse community here at the University of Chicago, and want anyone with questions, even if they seem like silly questions, to ask. Please share as openly as you feel comfortable, taking care to not judge or criticize others. Talking about sex and issues surrounding it can be difficult. These discussions may involve explicit material that may make some feel uncomfortable. Know that you are free to leave events at any time and that Sex Week Team members are present to provide referral services. The University Counseling Center can offer additional support surrounding these issues. For further information, please grab a resource guide.
