sexuality
I began teaching sexuality classes in 2012. Since then I have developed a number of courses that incorporate lectures about techniques and history but also roundtable-like experience for sharing and other kinds of creative expression. I've had the privilege to facilitate discussions at bachelorette parties, retail stores and non-profit organizations, as well as to private groups.
ALL SYSTEMS : YES
ALL SYSTEMS: YES is an experimental workshop that invites 12 couples to reflect and assess the risks they’ve encountered in sex and intimacy by building a “consent profile”. Inspired by the wider BDSM community’s ongoing conversation about safety and intentionality, this workshop uses the “risk profile,” or an individual’s unique standardized system by which they evaluate how much risk they are willing to take in a given activity, as a foundation for looking at how to construct a similarly personalized and formalized structure for giving consent in any context.
ALL SYSTEMS: YES approaches consent holistically, asking questions about how to assess and add up somatic feedback, contextual awareness, and desire into a measurable equation. Likewise, this workshop addresses navigating consent under genuine confusion and what happens when we change our minds.
Out with the Old, In with the New(d) : Exploring New Partners
Whether you've slept with one person or a hundred people, getting intimate with someone you've just met is always an adventure. Questions about how to initiate one night stands, what to do when you want to wait to have sex with someone, and how to get back into the swing of things after ending a long relationship will be answered in this class. Other major themes: consent, communication, manners, and safer sex practices.
Fisters Forever
In bushes to behinds, we're reaching deep! At Fisters Forever, our discussion goes beyond initiation technique to acknowledge the activity as a cultural practice. What are the rituals of fisting? How far do they span across gender/sex/orientation? What kind of power dynamics are present? Major topics discussed : hanky code, hole worship, physical boundaries, tales of transcendance, and trust.
Some experience recommended for full participation.
