‘The Joy of Teen Sex’ – Really? Conference and Consultation

Channel 4 recently aired ‘The Joy of Teen Sex’, a highly graphic television series which disturbed many people and seemed to encourage teenage promiscuity with no moral boundaries. Two events are being held in response - a conference on 5 May for anyone interested in the issues and a consultation on 6 May for medical professionals, sex education/PSHE/human biology educators etc. Amongst the speakers is Miriam Grossman, MD, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and author, who will provide insights on how ‘Safe Sex’ messages affect young people today. She will be talking about how the sexualisation of children and young people is deeply damaging.

Please see the attached flyers for more information and details about locations, cost and timings regarding the Thursday, 5th May, conference (here) and the Friday, 6th May, consultation (here).

Event details can also be found on this website.

Thursday, 5th May London

The Joy of Teen Sex' --- really?

In London Miriam Grossman MD (http://www.miriamgrossmanmd.com/) on Thursday, 5th May, Conference (details below) and the Friday, 6th May, Consultation for medical professionals, sex education/PSHE/human biology educators etc. also in London.

You may be aware of Channel 4’s recent airing of ‘The Joy of Teen Sex’, aspects of which we believed were problematic from various points of view. We believe that Miriam Grossman’s approach is both powerful and effective. She is an orthodox Jew and so comes at this issue from a Judaeo-Christian basis. However, in her argument she simply puts forward the science, and how the sexualisation of children and young people is deeply damaging. Her works include Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student (2006/7) and ‘You’re Teaching My Child What?’ A Physician Exposes the Lies of Sex Education (2009).
