Welcome!
Welcome to the University of Essex Sexual Awareness Society!!
We are a recently reopened society that hopes to be a genuinely inclusive environment where anyone, regardless of previous knowledge, experience, sexuality, gender identity or political belief is welcome.
We rarely have the chance to openly talk about sex and relationships in today's society without being judged or feeling uncomfortable. The Sexual Awareness Society wants to change that. We want to break taboos, challenge myths and end misconceptions.
We will host regular meetings and debates, along with a variety of drinking and non-drinking socials, in order to offer something for everyone. We will also fundraise for and do outreach work with charities that support our aims, as well as running campaigns on campus, in order to truly make a difference. Join us!
