Let’s Talk About Sex: How a New Generation Navigates Hookups, Porn, Love & Consent

Date: Tuesday, September 17, 2024

Time: 7PM

Location: Los Altos High School - Eagle Theater

Audience: Parents, caretakers, teachers, and counselors of middle and high school age children. Students 16+ are welcome to attend with their parent/guardian

Registration: Register for this free event

Books: Girls & Sex and Boys & Sex

In this talk, Orenstein combines her research with voices of both boys and girls (as well as those between or beyond genders), to discuss the impact on high school and college students’ sexual scripts of mainstream media, social media and porn; hookup culture; changing expectations around consent; the politics of sexual pleasure; the diversity of sexual orientations; gendered power dynamics. With humor and compassion, she separates myth from reality, ultimately giving parents, educators and young people the conversational tools they need to ensure safe, pleasurable, mutually satisfying sexual encounters and intimate relationships.

For more information, visit mvlaspeakerseries.org. Events are free thanks to our generous sponsors: MVLA High School Foundation, Los Altos Educational Foundation, Mountain View Educational Foundation, and the Los Altos-Mountain View PTA Council.

Únase a nosotros en una velada con Peggy Orenstein, autora de Girls & Sex y Boys & Sex

Hablemos de Sexo: Cómo una Nueva Generación Navega por las Relaciones Sexuales, la Pornografía, el Amor y el Consentimiento

Martes, 17 de septiembre de 2024

7pm

Escuela Preparatoria Los Altos - Teatro Eagle

Audiencia: Padres, tutores, maestros y consejeros de jóvenes en edad escolar secundaria y preparatoria.. Los estudiantes mayores de 16 años pueden asistir con sus padres o tutores.

Registro: Regístrate para este evento gratuito

Libros: Girls & Sex and Boys & Sex

En esta charla, Orenstein combina su investigación con las voces de niños y niñas (así como de personas que se encuentran entre dos géneros o más allá de ellos) para hablar sobre el impacto de los medios de comunicación tradicionales, las redes sociales y la pornografía en los guiones sexuales de los estudiantes de preparatoria y universitarios; la cultura del ligue; las expectativas cambiantes en torno al consentimiento; las políticas del placer sexual; la diversidad de orientaciones sexuales; y las dinámicas del poder de género. Con humor y compasión, separa el mito de la realidad, y en última instancia ofrece a los padres, educadores y jóvenes las herramientas de conversación que necesitan para garantizar encuentros sexuales y relaciones íntimas seguros, placenteros y mutuamente satisfactorios.
