Mylène de Repentigny-Corbeil (she/her) is the Executive Director of Les 3 sex*. She leads the organization in their mission to fight for the sexual health and sexual rights of women and LGBTQ+ people. A pan-Canadian organization based in Quebec, Les 3 sex* offers sex education, conducts research and awareness projects, and disseminates sexological knowledge, with Mylène overseeing the organization’s advocacy efforts.
CBRC and Les 3 sex are working together on a project called We Lead to advance equal access to sexual, reproductive, and gender affirming care for 2S/LGBTQIA+ people in Canada. Les 3 sex* is also delivering CBRC’s health leadership program Do You Mind? exploring intimate partner violence. “Our collaboration with CBRC is timely,” Mylène says. “As a national organization, our ambition is to fully extend our reach across Canada and to offer our resources and tools not only bilingually, but more accessibly in general.” In addition to fostering nationwide access, the collaboration makes it possible for Les 3 sex* to refocus its projects on health. “In recent years, we somewhat neglected the health component, but it’s an integral part of what we do and what we want to do.” The health component, she explains, is based on a sexological and feminist perspective, making the collaboration with the CBRC all the more promising.
As for research, Les 3 sex* organizes an annual conference on sexuality and technology (Sexualité et technologies) that takes a close look at cybersex and cyberviolence. “Everything is changing so fast. We’re trying to understand where we are in terms of technology, and the positive and negative impacts of new technology on sexuality” Mylène explains. The conference also explores the manosphere—a broad term for online misogyny—and masculinities. “As an organization fighting for the sexual rights of women and LGBTQ+ persons, we study the manosphere because it directly attacks those two specific populations.” Cyberhéros is an example of a project stemming from the Sexualité et technologies conference, combining research, knowledge mobilization and the creation of pedagogical tools. By reaching boys where they are at—for example, on the livestreaming platform Twitch— the program seeks to prevent cyberviolence by “connecting with boys where they are, on their preferred platform, with the aim of countering, educating, and guiding them in their interactions with the manosphere.”
In the coming months at Les 3 sex*, Mylène is looking forward to launching a major Canada-wide research project on abortion access for 2S/LGBTQIA+ people, Which body, what choice?. What’s more, Les 3 sex* is marking its first ten years. For the occasion, the team is working on a refresh of the organization’s branding—from the website to the sexology journal, black and white is on the way out!
In her spare time, Mylène calls herself a “diehard fan” of culture. She goes out to shows— theatre, music, film—two or three times a week, constantly keeping up with popular culture.

"Sexual health goes beyond the physical; it’s about wellbeing, agency, and how we live out our sexuality”
