On Monday, the Student Activities Commission heard proposals from the students planning Sex Positive Week, a weeklong series of events designed to encourage discussion about sex and sexuality at Georgetown University, and ultimately approved funding for all the proposed events, although they put some conditions in place after their funding of Sex Positive Week caused a stir last year.

Looking at the public minutes of the SAC allocation meeting, Sex Positive Week, which will take place from February 22 to February 26, is going consist of events like “Virginity and Losing It,” “Disability and Sexuality,” “God and the Erotic,” and a “Sex Positive Carnival.”

SAC voted to stipulate that some of the events and material—like the Zine, which will print Sex Positive stories and images—will need further approval from SAC before they are ultimately funded.

Funding for “Virginity and Losing It,” which the organizers described as “a discussion about virginity and the climate surrounding that issue on campus,” was approved at $75; “Disability and Sexuality” was approved for $85; “God and the Erotic” was approved, but the organizers did not request any funds for that event. All of these events were approved unanimously.

Open Mic Night, for which the organizers did not ask for funding, was approved 8 to 1 (objecting) to 2 (abstaining).

From the looks of the minutes, the next item, a proposal for a Sex Positive Carnival, “a fun, creative way to get out information on things people don’t usually think about or care to learn about,” generated a lot of discussion among the student commissioners.

“An urban tantra workshop.” “An event in support of survivors of sexual assault and fighting rape culture.” “A forum on virginity and celibacy.” “An orgasm workshop.”

Those are some of the events that the 20 students crammed onto the plush couches in the Women’s Center suggested when they met Tuesday night to begin planning this year’s Sex Positive Week.

The week is based around the idea that sex, in whatever context—heterosexual, homosexual, BDSM, or strictly within marriage—is nothing to be ashamed of. (And it was a very sex positive group—although Vox identified herself as a reporter and therefore not a meeting participant, she was still encouraged to take part in the introduction game, by naming the food she finds most sensual.) It will be the second time that Georgetown plays host to Sex Positive events, and judging by Tuesday night, the week may turn out to be as outre as last year’s.

Agreeing that they want to focus on “empowerment, education, and positive body image,” the students decided that they want to hold diverse events—some tame and communal, like an open mike night and student-centric discussions, and some more aggressive events, like a potential “guerilla theater”-style event in Red Square, in which women would act as female statues demonstrating “how lesbians have sex.”

“I’m so down for that,” one student said.

A student later cautioned against planning events that were too far out of the ordinary in order to give the week a broader campus appeal.

“I would really like to see this week reach out past communities like the queer community and women’s community and maybe toning it down or having a good balance of themes, just so it’s more mainstream,” he said.
