Sexpression

Sexpression educates young people in sex and relationship issues and aims to empower them to make informed choices about their reproductive health. Healthcare students deliver interactive and informal sessions to small groups, creating a relaxed environment to learn about sexual health and broach sensitive topics.

Mission statement:

Sexpression is an independent student initiative, not affiliated to any religious or political cause.

Our values are:

  • Creating opportunities to discuss sexual matters in an open, non-judgmental environment
  • Promoting individual self-esteem and empowerment
  • Encouraging respect for personal beliefs and values
  • Facilitating informed decision-making and autonomy regarding sex
  • Ensuring that young people have the skills to access sources of confidential advice

The organization consists of projects based in many universities around the UK, designed with their local communities in mind. They are non-profit making organizations and are run on an entirely voluntary basis.

National Conference:

Leicester Sexpression will be hosting this year’s infamous Sexpession National Conference, titled "A Cultural Affair". The provisional date is 9th-11th October.

The main theme of the conference is different cultures, their attitudes towards sexual health, and issues around teaching sex education, as this is something that Sexpression Leicester has to take into consideration when teaching in such a diverse city.

Leicester is the National Centre of Excellence for gender reassigment surgery so there will be some lectures and workshops on the subject of gender reassignment from both the medical/surgical and psychological point of view.

We would love for any other Sexpression branches to get in touch with us about any workshops they would like to run.

The Saturday night social will be held at one of Leicester's finest curry houses, 'Poppadoms'. We hope to have some entertainment during the meal, again along the theme of multiculturalism.

We will then go on to the medics' favourite haunts 'Life', a club where we hope to have a great night which lives up to previous Sexpression National Conference socials. For more information, email coordinator@sexpression.co.uk.

Sexball:

Sexpression celebrated our 2nd Sex Ball which was Kama Sutra themed (very appropriate!) and was hosted in February of this year by UCL Sexpression, at the exclusive ‘Vertigo’ nightclub at No.1 Leicester Square, London.

The event was sensually decorated and equipped with kama sutra books and cards, Asian sweets, a champagne reception and a sitar player for entertainment.

Website:

The website is currently in the process of being revamped, and the new, improved site will be coming soon to fulfil all your sexpression needs! Until then, resources are available on our current website. However, if you can’t find what you’re looking for just give us an email.

Latest news from the world of SexpressionUK:
