SeXx: Sex as Resistance

SEXx, inspired by TEDx, was created by Elicia Gonzales and Dr Timaree Schmit and was first held in May 2014, in honor of National Masturbation Month. In its second year, SEXx expanded to include Katelyn Regan, Tara Lessard, David Acosta, and Susan DiPronio. That year's SEXx Interactive Committee created a unique multi-day conference including nationally lauded keynote speakers, TEDx style presentations, workshops, art exhibit, dance parties, and live performances. In 2017, SEXx became a collective that continues to expand and grow, holding a variety of events throughout the year.
