SPECS

About the group - Our Mission

We want to empower the Middlebury College Community with the knowledge, skills, and resources to make healthy and informed decisions, and to contribute to and participate in an accepting, supportive, and sex positive community.

​Our Philosophy

We believe that sex is a natural part of life and is talked about whether you are engaging in sexual activity or not. We know that people express their sexuality in a variety of different ways. We also believe that it is important to talk about sex and consent (and everything in between) in open and healthy ways that empower individuals to make their own informed decisions.

What’s Sex Positive?

We want to make it clear that having sex (and not having sex), and talking about it (and not talking about it) is not shameful. We educate non-judgmentally and inclusively in order to support all forms of sexuality, all sexual identities, and everyone no matter how they express themselves.
