FINDINGS and PURPOSES:

1. I ♥ female orgasm® is a program of the organization Sex Discussed Here! that is dedicated to providing funny and smart sex education at college campuses
2. An event with Sex Discussed Here! will promote sexual health education and women’s empowerment during Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)
3. The program includes education on orgasms and how to help yourself and sexual partner have safe and educated sex. The program is specifically tailored for college students and combines evidence-based information with open dialogue to address often stigmatized topics within sexual health education for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
4. The program will provide a comprehensive overview of anatomy, consent, communication, and pleasure. For the Hopkins’ community, this program may fill gaps left by traditional sex education, including the underrepresentation of female pleasure or prioritization of understanding your own body.
5. Sexual health is deeply tied to mental health and social connection, and equipping students with an inclusive toolkit emphasizing respect and non-judgement may help provide support in engagement around sexuality discussion.
