Drake will speak on Saturday, March 28, on the panel, “Beyond the Pop Shot: Using explicit instructional media for sex education.”

“I’m really looking forward to participating in this exciting panel,” drake said. “Being an adult performer/director and sex educator has given me unique insight into media’s role in sex education.”

An event synopsis read, “How can instructional aids be used by sex educators, therapists and counselors to better serve their clients and students? How popular are instructional aids and who buys them? Is there any research that looks at the impact of instructional aids on people? The panel will examine these questions and more.”
