ARTISTS + CREATIVE TALENTS + PANEL SPEAKERS
We are a dynamic group of creators and advocates dedicated to using art as a powerful catalyst for social change and community healing. By providing a platform for marginalized voices, particularly within LGBTQ+ and diverse communities, these visionaries transform lived experiences into evocative works that spark vital public dialogue. Through every mural, performance, and digital project, our artists strive to bridge social gaps and reshape the cultural landscape into a more inclusive and empathetic future.
What does “good sex” actually mean?
There’s no one way to define “good sex.” Healthy, consensual connection can look different for everyone, and for some people, it may mean no sex at all.
Good Sex @ NYU is a podcast about relationships, intimacy, pleasure, identity, and connection. Through expert insights and honest dialogue, we explore the many ways people experience authenticity, joy, and intimacy.
From unlearning fear-based sex ed to discussions about pleasure, kink, non-monogamy, asexuality, boundaries, communication, mental health, and navigating relationships safely, this podcast explores the topics that don’t get talked about enough.
Maybe you’re rethinking the messages you grew up with. Maybe you’re curious about dating or identity. Or maybe you just want conversations about sex and relationships that feel nuanced, thoughtful, and human.
