Event description: 

Better Bottoming is sponsored by APNH: A Place to Nourish your Health, CIRA at Yale University, and Yale Queer + Asian

The internet is a great equalizer but it can be a confusing place for queer people to learn about sex. Sadly, most LGBTQ+ people never learn about anal sex in their high school health classes, and there aren’t a lot of places to get good, medically sound advice. Jonathan Baker, PA-C, MPAS is a rectal health expert and bottoming guru with broad experience across clinical care, research, education, and advocacy. In this one hour event we aim to provide bottoms young and old with the opportunity to learn about healthier, safer bottoming practices and ask the hard questions the internet can’t be trusted to answer. Bottoms of all ages for the first time will get real qualified answers on subjects like douching, pain with anal sex, bottoming with hemorrhoids or genital warts, anal lubricants, and so much more. Additionally, using Slido for real time anonymous question submission and ranking, we will ensure that everyone can ask questions free from any shame or embarrassment!

We will be going live here on our Facebook page Monday, October 19th from 7-8pm. To ask an anonymous question, or upvote other people’s questions that you want answered, go to Slido.com and use Slido Event Code (#25778) prior to or during the stream.
