Orgasm Inc & Dating Confidential in the Georgia Straight!
By
Michelle Reid
This Thursday, February 9th, Hello Cool World will be hosting a free screening of the great documentary Orgasm Inc!
If you're just hearing about it now, we're sorry to tell you that all seats are now reserved, but you can buy a copy of Orgasm Inc on our webstore (Canadian and US).
Following the film, there will be a great panel discussion taking on the topics in the film, and featuring experts in sexual health and sexuality. To learn about the panelists, check out the event e-flyer.
Dating Confidential, a research study that we have been collaborating with for the past several months, is also a sponsor of the event. The study, by PhD candidate and Hello Cool World research associate Cindy Masaro, examines the way older women are building relationships and taking risks. If you are over 25, female and living in North America, please see if you are eligible to take the study!
This past Thursday, there was a great write-up by Gail Johnson in the Georgia Straight about Dating Confidential and Orgasm Inc. It is a great read for anyone interested in the marketing of female sexuality and how studies like Dating Confidential and films like Orgasm Inc are crucial to developing a better public understanding of sexuality and sexual behaviour. The misinformation and myths about how women "should" feel or behave sexually are not only inaccurate but can also have negative health consequences.We'll be back on the TSS blog after the event to give you a summary of the panel discussion and chat about some of the issues common to both Dating Confidential and Orgasm Inc. If you'd like to learn more about the film or the study, please email us at info (at) hellocoolworld.com, or visit us on Facebook! We'd love to hear from you!
