Group members’ disclosure of their sexual
and erotic interests is an opportunity to explore sexual health and
intricate conflicts between erotic pleasures and committed
responsible adult relationships. Panelists will discuss concepts and
development of sexual and erotic health as well as how group
dynamics may facilitate or impede norms. A pre-selected demonstration
group will contemplate their feeling arising from the presentation
content. Audience discussion will follow.
