ABOUT the talk. “I’ll be talking about how being a sexual outlier–someone whose experience of sexuality doesn’t match up with the expectations either of the culture at large or, in my case, of the gay community–can necessitate a creative and ultimately rewarding approach to foraging for one’s sex life, or what I call a DIY sexuality. I’ll give examples, many of them humorous, of how my "continuing sex education"has drawn on my experiences as someone who came out during some of the scariest years of the AIDS pandemic, as a door-to-door canvasser for nonprofits groups, as an art student and later an artist, as a sex worker and as a writer.”
