Terrence Higgins Trust presents LoveSexy – Black, a free interactive discussion group and playshop for Black gay and bisexual men who love men. Let’s talk!
As well as a hearty discussion about a range of issues affecting our lives as black men, the playshop will look at our barriers to love, what’s ‘great sex with less harm’, and explore how we can be intimate and sexual in ways that celebrates who we are as individuals. Facilitator: Vernal Scott of Terrence Higgins Trust.
Free entry and refreshments – and two lucky men will leave with prizes!
February is LGBT History Month, so part of the discussion will look at our journey so far. We’ll also look at where we are now and how we want our lives to be in five years from now.
We will be meeting again on Tuesday 21st March at the same time and venue, where will again be delving beneath the surface of hooking up to clarify our needs and desires when it comes to love, sex and intimacy.
