Why are we not having the sex we want? Can we blame a lacking sex education? Is it all just sexual trauma? Where's the radical sexual liberation we were promised? What are we going to do about this? How do the socially awkward and the neurodiverse have sex?

Spend 45 glorious minutes with these and other questions, all addressed by beloved comedian and author Sofie Hagen! In her book Will I Ever Have Sex Again?, she explores the quirks and difficulties of being an 'involuntary celibate' (but one of the feminist, progressive ones). With a blend of memoir and conversations with experts, therapists, sex workers, porn stars, comedians and public figures, this is a humorous and bold undertaking to gain a better understanding of how we can think, talk and feel about sex.

We’re over the moon to be welcoming Sofie to the shop garden!

This event will be 30 mins followed by audience questions and signing. Please feel free to attend any or all of these depending on your capacity!
