Pleasure is an important part of life that drives a lot of the choices people make, points out filmmaker and founder of sexuality project Agents of Ishq, Paromita Vohra. “Why are we not willing to talk about pleasure, especially when it comes to young people? We’re willing to talk about things like health, but as a country, we’re still not very open to conversations surrounding sex education. Everyone’s definition of the term pleasure is different and it needs to be looked at from all angles,” she says. From October 7 to 9, Agents of Ishq will hold a three-day online conference titled Love, Sex and Data, that will talk about all things pleasure and feature an array of guests including singer Shubha Mudgal, comedian Aditi Mittal,and sex educator Leeza Mangaldas.
