July 31st β’ Health & Stigma
National Orgasm Day
A day focused on sexual wellness, the breaking of social stigmas, and the importance of pleasure in human health and relationships. While often treated as a joke or a taboo topic, pleasure is a fundamental part of the human experience. Today, we debate the role of sexual education, the impact of stress on wellness, and how society can talk more openly about adult needs.
