SEX and Drugs and Rock and Roll.

For Salon does Sex, we are pleased to welcome Nichi Hodgson, author of ‘Bound to You’, a memoir of her time as a Dominatrix. She is also Director of the Ethical Porn Partnership and, as co-host, she will be helping us to take Salon in hand as we take a lateral look at Sex.
Think sexting is racy? Biologist Aarathi Prasad will explain how science is changing sex beyond all recognition. Aarathi left genetics to be involved in the communication of these changes and has since become Science Advisor to the British Council and even influenced the law of our fair land to reflect the changes in science. Described as the female version of Brian Cox – the presenter of C4’s series ‘Brave New World with Stephen Hawking’, Aarathi will be explaining ‘How Science is Redesigning the Rules of Sex’.
Pheromones, Old Spice, Chloroform, smell is an intrinsic part of sex, so much so that men with no sense of smell (amnosia) have far fewer sexual partners that those with. A Swedish study found that a huge number of social signals are picked up by smell, which is why we have olfactory expert Sarah McCartney to test out the theory and to see if you are able to decode the sexual signals that are given to you in our Salon session, ‘Sex Smells’.
And of course we had to end with a practical session on ‘How to Have Better Sex’, so we are very pleased to have our hands on Justin Hancock – one of the country’s best sexual advisors – to take us to the heart of our practical relationship with, you know . . . sex. What ever your sexual orientation, leading sex educationalist Justin will explain it’s all about consent – and you may be very surprised to find out your own consent orientation in this hands-on session.
It’s Salon, it’s clever, it’s fun and it builds new neural pathways. You should come.

Doors @ 6:30pm
