Description

Sexual health is an important part of clinical care across the life span, especially for older adults who face particular changes and challenges that affect their physical, emotional, social, and sexual lives. In this session participants will debunk myths about sex and aging, discuss current research and trends, and learn about how to approach STIs, safer sex, bodily changes, and pleasure with their patients. Everyone deserves shame-free, pleasure-centered, inclusive sexual health care, including our older adult population. This event is hybrid, open to anyone, and includes slides and resources provided after the training. AASECT CE credits available upon request.

Jenna Emerson (she/her) is an AASECT-Certified, Master's level sexuality educator with over 10 years of experience providing shame-free, pleasure-centered, inclusive sexuality education to various populations. This year she was featured in the Seven Days Vermont newspaper for her Sex and Aging series with AARP VT where she led workshops on sexual health, online dating, sexuality trends, and long-term intimacy for older adults. She is looking forward to discussing this important topic with clinicians and anyone interested in this topic!

Earth and Salt

Earth and Salt is the modern adult store, committed to your pleasure, your way. Our approach to pleasure is holistic and inclusive, as we know that pleasure is possible for everyone, but it looks different from person to person. We also believe that creating a daily connection to physical pleasure, sensuality, and sex is a transformative process, individually and collectively. 

We sell a curated array of body-safe products that enable our customers to center themselves in their bodies, access their pleasure, and confirm sex and desire as parts of a healthy lifestyle. 

As part of our commitment to pleasure for all, Earth and Salt is also committed to social justice as an intrinsic part of our mission. As such we de-gender the sex toy store model, affirm individuals in their identities through our product and class offerings, and support businesses and sex educators from marginalized groups. 

​Our vendor roster is always 50% or more businesses owned by individuals from marginalized groups. We also donate a percent of sales every month to the BIPOC Urban Farm and Wholeness Center in Winooski, VT.
