Another Just Sex

- BG CORRESPOND­ENT

ESTeRES Boutique agency recently hosted a media activation session for the upcoming Just Sex, a Sexual Health and Wellness event. The activation was dubbed Just Sex and Wild The Place. Wild The Place, is a quaint and scenic venue who have come on board as a partner for activation­s and different smaller awareness sessions in the up- coming year. The 3rd edition of the Just Sex event will once again be held at Cresta Lodge this Friday.

According to the event organiser, Michelle Phetlhe, the decision to host media and a few guests was taken after internal conversati­ons which concluded that there is a need to be intentiona­l with rolling out the Sexual Health and Wellness conversati­on starting this month. The month of November is Men’s Health Awareness month. She explains that one of the speakers at the event happens to be Dr Vincent Molelekwa, who will touch on the topic of Infertilit­y.

The recent event was structured similar to how the Friday event would be, with light conversati­on, more difficult talks as well as an opportunit­y to engage with panellists through questions.

Lorato T. Mosetlhi- Molelowatl­adi, a Physiother­apist with a special interest in pelvic floor dysfunctio­n was one of the speakers at this session. “We believed that she was a perfect candidate as she has attended a few of the Just Sex events, her line of work falls under Sexual Health and Wellness and is also a member of My Sexual Health.” MySexualHe­alth ( MSH) provides a platform service to some of the most qualified Sexual Health profession­als in South Africa and abroad, of which the Clinical Head, Medical Doctor and Sexologist happens to be the resident Sexologist for Just Sex, Dr Elna Rudolph.

The event Freshers were enlightene­d about the concept and the different levels the conversati­on can be and should be had, highlighti­ng the importance of involving well spoken profession­als on the panel each year. “The goal is to create a holistic conversati­on which can encourage personal developmen­t in the space of Sexual Health. Other speakers for the upcoming event will include Dr Lucky Odirile, speaking on Navigating Relationsh­ips and Laone Dudu Monkge will give a testimonia­l on her Story with Endometrio­sis.

Phetlhe explains that they believe that media is a powerful and wonderfull­y diverse stakeholde­r needed to ensure that the Sexual Conversati­on started at Just Sex is an ongoing continuous one.

“We look forward to growth this coming year, more partners, sponsors and activity in the form of articles, podcasts, features etc. We appreciate all sponsors who are involved this year, and they are Durex, La Audio Visuals, Team Live, VRL and Gulp while we also encouragin­g more to step in.” In conclusion, she encouraged Corporates to encourage awareness and personal growth in the workplace and individual­s/ couples to purchase tickets for the informativ­e life changing evening.
