Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan: A Sexplanation Film Screening RelationalOrganizing December 4, 2024 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM ET Michigan Zoom, Lansing, MI Join us for a virtual viewing of A Sexplanation with a dynamic panel afterwards. Just your typical comedic sex ed documentary about the universal search for love, connection, and self-acceptance From neuroscience labs to church pews, the film features provocative conversations with psychologists, sex researchers—and even a Jesuit priest. With humor and grit, Alex takes audiences on a playful, heartfelt journey from a shame-filled past to a happier, healthier, sexier future. Like many Americans in the 90s, the adults in Alex’s life taught him that abstinence made him good. These tactics worked to suppress his sexuality—all the more because he was gay. Fed up, Alex decides it’s time to turn years of fear and loathing into something positive and humorous. A Sexplanation follows his pursuit of shame-free pleasure and call for comprehensive sex education. Along the way, he’s surprised to discover it’s never too late to have “The Talk”—even with the parents he's kept at a distance.
