2020 Vicki Sexual Freedom Award Honorees
Recognizing landmark contributions in advocating for and advancing our fundamental human right to sexual freedom.
The “Vicki” Sexual Freedom Award, established in 2010, recognizes those individuals whose life and work embody the mission and values of the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance and who have made landmark contributions to the sexual freedom movement through education, advocacy, research, sexual health and activism.
This year, the 11th anniversary of our Sexual Freedom Summit, Woodhull will honor two extraordinary individuals for their life-long commitment to sexual freedom as a fundamental human right: Cyndee Clay and Joan Price.
Read more about both honorees.
Register to watch the award ceremony on Facebook Live on Tuesday, May 25, 4pm Pacific/ 7pm Eastern.
The collaboration of adult star/sex educator jessica drake and author/senior sex educator Joan Price led to the creation of the AASECT award-winning film, “jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex.” It also led to an intense friendship and many discussions – no topic off limits. jessica shared her work speaking to college students, and Joan shared hers speaking to seniors. They discovered that the sexual concerns of young adults and seniors were sometimes drastically different, but sometimes identical. In this lively dialogue, jessica and Joan reveal what young people and old people really think, question, and need. What are the primary misconceptions that prevent young people and seniors from getting the help they need? How should therapists reach and welcome these groups?
Saturday, June 12, 2021, 11:30am-12:30pm Eastern/ 8:30-9:30am Pacific Time.
This plenary session is part of AASECT’s 2021 virtual conference, Pleasure Through Life’s Changes and Challenges, June 10-12, 2021. Registration for the conference is required.
Adult film star and sex educator jessica drake collaborated with senior sex educator and writer Joan Price to create jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex, winner of the 2020 AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists) Audiovisual Award, given to the producer(s) of a film, video, or DVD that makes a significant contribution to AASECT’s vision of sexual health and to the clinical and educational standards of the field.
Let’s Talk about Sex and Aging. Sex after 50, 60, 70 and beyond has challenges, but it can be rich and joyful if we learn, adapt, and explore. Let’s throw out the stereotypes about older-age sexuality, debunk the myths, and send you home with solid information and a new attitude about older-age sexuality and how to talk about it.
For sex educators, counselors, and therapists who work with older adults. Except for sexuality educators who work exclusively with young people, we’ll all be faced with addressing the sexual pleasure and sexual health concerns of older people as our clientele ages. There’s no end date for sexuality, so sexuality educators need to be prepared with knowledge and resources.
Register here. All lectures are recorded and edited and made available to people who register in advance of the lecture, as part of their regular registration.
Attend virtually or in person! This year, Sex Down South is going hybrid. You can view all workshops and evening events online with your virtual registration, or you can attend live at Sheraton Atlanta Hotel (165 Courtland St. NE).
Joan Price will be among this year’s presenters, giving these workshops:
