A discussion on how contemporary movements like #MeToo and societal changes have transformed the portrayal of consent and safe sex, moving away from the "bodice ripping days." Learn how the authors write consent and safe sex scenes that are both responsible and sexy, and explore the potential of romance novels to educate readers about healthy sexual relationships. This panel will also address subverting societal expectations by embracing sex positivity, including sex work, sex toys, and pornography, and the unique challenges and opportunities of portraying safe sex and consent in LGBTQ+ and non-heteronormative relationships.
This panel will feature topics and themes that may not be suitable for guests under 18.
