Trigger Warning

Sexual violence content

As we go throughout life, we may not come across a trigger warning to prepare us for a reaction. But, we wanted to inform you that if anything in this presentation evokes an emotional response, please make yourself a priority and take care of yourself.  

  • Feel free to step away from the presentation to feel your emotions
  • Reach out to a friend or family member for support
  • Journal

You define what “self care” and “self preservation” is for you in reference to this topic. No one will be penalized for not completing this presentation, but rather we honor your life experiences and emotions. 


Sex is a normal part of life for many people and should always be with the consent of all parties. There are ways to reduce the spreading of COVID-19 even during sex.
