The CFP for the 7th annual AltSex NYC Conference (which will be held on Friday, May 13, 2022) is now open!
Please note that this year’s theme is Metamorphoses. It is not lost on us that our lucky number 7th conference falls on an auspicious Friday the 13th, so we thought we’d lean into that confluence by welcoming proposals that take a deep dive into areas of sexuality encompassing rebirth, ritual, and reconfiguration.
If you need inspiration, there’s Friday the 13th for example, and how the date is considered lucky by some and unlucky by others—how might this concept relate to sex, gender, and relationship structure? What about discoveries of discomfort and how they can lead to growth and healing? Repurposing shadow into light? The redesigning of longstanding relationships? The infusion of fresh blood and chemistry/chemicals in sex and relationships? The rituals of sexualizing gender presentation, body modification, identity reconfiguration?
Please take the theme and run with it! As you know, we are open to all new, intriguing, and thought-provoking presentations on alternative sexualities, the more niche and creative, the better! If you’re not ready to present this time around but you’ve been dying to hear someone you know present, please feel free to forward them a link to this page and suggest they submit a proposal. (Speakers will be offered a stipend.)

At the conclusion of this event, participants will be able to:
