Interested in becoming more educated about the clitoris?

The upcoming Clitoris Summit, which will take place on May 20th, 2023, promises to be an exciting event featuring a lineup of world-renowned experts in the field of human sexuality. As I have discussed in previous blogs, a big obstacle for those attempting to navigate the path to pleasure and sexual well-being stems, in part, from a lack of training on the part of their healthcare providers. This conference will provide attendees with cutting-edge information about the latest advancements in clitoral research and insights into the cultural and social factors that impact how the clitoris is viewed, experienced, and understood globally.

With a diverse array of presentations encompassing everything from anatomy to psychology, the Clitoris Summit offers a unique and valuable opportunity to expand your knowledge about the mind/body connection when it comes to sexuality. Whether you’re a seasoned activist or simply curious about female sexual health, this event is not to be missed. And if you aren’t available to watch the summit live, if you register for the event (which is free), you will be sent access to the recorded talks to watch at your own convenience.

The Clitoris Summit is a gathering of intellectuals, activists, and scholars devoted to studying and appreciating the clitoris. This annual event aims to increase awareness and promote education surrounding the clitoris, an often-neglected part of the female anatomy. With presentations and workshops led by experts in the field, attendees at the Clitoris Summit gain a greater understanding of the clitoris and its role in female sexual pleasure. The summit has gained popularity in recent years, drawing attendees from around the world who are committed to supporting sexual education and gender equality.

What to expect?

At the Clitoris Summit on May 20, 2023, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from some of the foremost experts on the topic of the clitoris and its role in female sexual pleasure.

With so much to gain from a deeper understanding of the clitoris and its potential, it’s clear that pleasure is essential to a happy and healthy life.

Who’s who in the field of sex science?

This is an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with the professionals who are asking the questions and finding the answers. Learn how to talk about, ask for, and find the information that is so hard to come by in most doctor’s and therapist’s offices.
