We’ve invited four knowledgeable queer Bay Area sexperts to field your questions in a space where nothing is too taboo.
Anything you can think of is a candidate for questions! Be as awkward, weird, or naughty as you feel. Pseudonyms and anonymous submissions ok.
Email questions to sfbicon@gmail.com.
Questions are pre-screened to ensure we cover a broad range of topics and to ensure that shy folks have their questions addressed, too.
At the door, a suggested donation of $15 funds panelists and the remaining will be donated* to Trans Lifeline. *This isn’t a fundraiser, we just really like their work.
