Femtech Fes! Extra Edition: "Why Men Should Understand Their Own Sexuality"

To coincide with "International Men's Day" on November 19th, we held a special Femtech Fes! event titled "The Meaning of Men Understanding Their Own Sexuality"!

International Men's Day began in Trinidad and Tobago, a Caribbean island nation, in 1999, as a day to focus on the health of men and boys and to promote gender equality.

However, many people in Japan may not be familiar with "International Men's Day." Furthermore, the concept of "men's health" might not immediately resonate with them.

For this event, we invited Mr. Ryo Irisawa from the sperm self-check kit "Seem" and Mr. Yuji Yoshikawa from Health and Rights Inc. as guests to discuss issues unique to men.
