About this Webinar

Join us for Sex Talk for Self-Advocates Webinar #2. Using real self-advocate questions from a survey, three professional sexuality educators will answer questions about relationships and sexuality.

This webinar will focus on sex and intimacy, discussing on questions and topics from the survey such as:

  • "What is sex and how do I do it?"
  • "What are normal sex activities?"
  • "Is sex like it is in the movies?"
  • "Where should I have sex?"
  • "What is the proper way to clean various sex toys?" 
  • Masturbation
  • Pleasure and Safety

This is a great learning opportunity for self-advocates, professionals, and paraprofessionals working with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to better understand relationships and sexuality.
