In a thrilling new partnership, Durex in Ireland is teaming up with Mother Pride Block Party to celebrate sex positivity & diverse expressions of sexuality at the National Museum of Ireland, in Collins Barracks, all weekend long. Get ready to paint the town with all the colours of the rainbow because this year’s Mother Pride Block Party is set to be the most spectacular celebration yet!
With its ‘My Sex/My Way’ initiative, the world’s top condom brand Durex is on a mission to empower everyone in Ireland to unleash their true sexual selves. By challenging heteronormativity and celebrating diverse expressions of sexuality, Durex is standing up for free sexual exploration and inclusivity.
While Ireland has made great strides, the journey towards full acceptance and openness continues. Did you know that 47% of LGBTQ+ individuals in Ireland are not fully open about their sexuality? Or that one in four people still believe being LGBTQ+ is a choice?
These statistics highlight the importance of events like the Mother Pride Block Party in fostering understanding and acceptance, and Durex is committed to breaking down these barriers to promote a culture where everyone can freely express their true selves.
In addition, Durex is passing the mic to LGBTQ+ Irish voices to speak about sexual and mental health, debunk myths, and break taboos. Driving important conversations, throughout the celebration! (Keep an eye out on @durex.ireland)
