Fringe Ideas: Future Sex

Overview

Let’s talk about sex, bay-bee! Let’s talk about you-and-me! Let’s talk about the fact that Salt n Pepa waxing lyrical on the birds and the bees is still totally catchy, but in the 21^st century we take a diplomatic approach to talking about the art of getting it on! Yeah, that’s right, we debate. We mass-debate. Giggity.

Ladies, all the ladies - oh, okay, and dudes too, join the circle. The Edge is hosting a debate on this hot and heavy topic, where both teams will be armed with their best one-liners on one-nighters and the like. But of course, this is a serious matter – who are going to be the voices of sexual expertise? You’ve got triple j’s Tom Ballard and Alex Dyson, sex therapist Bettina Arndt, academic Alan McKee, artist David ‘Ghostboy’ Stavanger, film maker Phoebe Hart and facilitator John Birmingham on board – talking about all the good things, and the bad things that may be.

If you haven’t clued on entirely yet, the night will contain adult themes, so it's best to leave the kids at home.
