About

Let's talk about sex... with cancer, baby

A playful online performance-cum-training course to help you become better at having difficult discussions

Sex with Cancer is a patient-led initiative that uses art and enterprise to hold honest conversations about illness and intimacy.

Part artwork, part research project, part community enterprise, Sex with Cancer aims to become a permanent resource where people living with and beyond cancer can access information, practical solutions and recommended products without shame, and with an eye to pleasure, fun and connection.

As part of a public programme, join us for a playful online performance-cum-training course that aims to help you become better at having difficult discussions in an affirming way.

Hosted by artist and former cancer patient Brian Lobel, you'll be taken through the steps needed to gain your Certificate in Sex with Cancer Conversation Competency. The online experience will be followed by a discussion with Brian and a panel of experts in sex, sexual health and cancer care.

If you're curious about this conversation, then we'd love to see you. It's free to join, and there's no obligation to talk, you can just listen in!
