Unwanted pain in and on genitals is something many people are left to deal with alone and support can feel hard to find. Join sex therapist Ceci Ferox in this meeting if you are experiencing unwanted genital pain. We will explore common reasons for pain and share our own stories, experiences, and knowledge.
Lecture topics include vaginismus, vulvodynia, chronic pelvic pain, painful orgasm, curved erection, treatment, and mitigation options. The event is only open to people who experience unwanted genital pain. The language used at the event is anatomical (vulva, vagina, penis, testicles) and gender-neutral, however, participants may use whichever terms they prefer for their own genitals. Especially non-binary and trans people are encouraged to join and share this space.

Who is this event for?
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,
Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
