Femsex creates a safe space that encourages and facilitates the ability of women to learn about their bodies, explore their sexuality, and expand their understanding of diversity. The class covers a broad spectrum of topics related to female sexuality, ranging from anatomy/physiology, women's health, solo sex, partner sex, and orgasm, to social issues surrounding themes such as media and cultural influences on women, sex work, reproductive choices, and violence against women.

FemSex challenges students by exposing them to diverse opinions and experiences different from their own. It is about bringing women with different backgrounds together to form a very unique and welcoming community that will embrace and support them along their journey. It is our hope that by the end of this course, all individuals will leave the class with a newfound sense of empowerment and a greater understanding of how empowerment can be expressed in various ways.

The class relies on discussion, assignments, introspection, readings, and guest speakers to examine these topics. The FemSex reader is compiled and updated by the facilitator group every semester. We strongly believe that everyone stands to gain something from Femsex, so we encourage EVERYONE to apply.
