Hole-istic Health 3
March 26 @ 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
✨ Taking Care of Your Pleasure
MAX presents the third edition of Hole-istic Health: an evening giving you the raw and real answers to the sex questions you ask the internet.
Can I get my butt to self-lubricate?
Does it count as fisting if he didn’t use his thumb?
Can you get E.coli from rimming?
Health benefits of gooning?
Can I git preganente while take tistostorne?
We’re bringing together local health experts, sex educators, and people with lots of experience to talk about all the things you didn’t learn in sex-ed but wish you did. Fill up on practical tips and information with our guided conversations:
7:00-7:45PM ~ Presentations:
- The Mind is the Ultimate Pleasure Centre, a presentation discussing how mental health intersects with and informs sexual health, by Dr. Paul MacPherson
- PrEP and PEP, a presentation on the benefits of different kinds of PrEP and guidelines for who should take doxy PEP, by Dr. Andrew McNaughton
8:20-8:45PM ~ Panel Discussion:
- ‘Mommy, may I? Daddy, please?’ Going off-script in the pursuit of pleasure. A conversation with Sam Whittle, an Ottawa-based queer sex therapist, Antoine Incuir, a community educator and M. Cuir Montréal 2025 / Mr. Leather Montréal 2025, Tanya King, a local trans burlesque and drag performer, and Derrick, a local trans advocate.
Sami Landri (Canada’s Drag Race Season 6) will also take the stage as our headliner — bringing her signature trash-chic energy to the night, including a formal meet-and-greet with attendees.
Need help finding affirming health care, sexual health testing, or accessing to PrEP and doxy PEP? Our team will be on-site to answer questions and help you get connected to the healthcare you need.
