Let’s talk about sex, baby!
In the 2023-2024 cohort, the Alberta Investigaytors took a deep dive into all things sex positivity. From late March to early April 2024, the team ran an original survey among 2S/LGBTQIA+ Albertans to better understand how sex positivity impacts sexual health knowledge and resource access, as well as connection with community. We created two mini-reports we are excited to share with you!
The first mini-report looks at factors contributing to sex positivity among 2S/LGBTQQIA+ folks in Alberta. Some of the themes explored included sexual safety (physical, emotional, and psychological!), communication, consent, and self-care. Read more below!
The second mini-report provides suggestions to improve sexual health care for 2S/LGBTQQIA+ folks in Alberta. It includes tips for providers on creating affirming clinic spaces, suggestions on streamlining care access, and a discussion on the overlap of sexual health care and gender affirming care. Check out our suggestions below!
