Love and learning don’t just take one form, at least not on Cal Poly Humboldt’s campus. On Thursday, Nov. 13, the Women’s Resource Center hosted Kink on the Quad, a bi-annual campus event that teaches sex-positivity, self-expression, inclusivity, and ways to be in tune with one’s own sexuality, as well as how other people express it.
The event took place in the Kate Buchanan Room of the Student Activities Center. There was a diverse group of student participants, creative vendors, fun beverages, and unique games that created a safe environment for the spectrum of human expression. The event also included a raffle where students could win a selection of items donated by local stores and sex-positive sponsors.
Junior botany major and vendor Viviana Morfin shared that it was her first time at Kink on the Quad.
“This event brings flocks of people together to learn about important issues that you wouldn’t be able to learn on campus in such a fun way,” Morfin said.
Alexus Roberts, a music major and vendor for the Shakti Club, shared Morfin’s sentiments about the event. I love Kink on the Quad,” Roberts said. “It is welcoming to all students… covering topics like sexuality, femininity, masculinity, creating a safe space to explore it.”
Whether you are fluidly exploring or just getting started, this event supports individuals at any stage, creating a space to learn about being sexually safe and growing people’s confidence in what feels good to them.
