The best sex happens when you and your partner are both totally into what's happening and wouldn't want to be doing anything else. It happens when you say "oh, yes!" It happens when you know how to invite, give and receive affirmative, embodied consent.

Being able to create embodied consent is more than saying the right words. It takes place on a physical, somatic level and your body won't lie about it. Rather than ignoring your gut feelings, it's the skill of listening to what you truly desire, moment by moment. It lets you drop deeper into the pleasure and it lets you build more passion, and it makes it easier to find the places where you both get what you want. The safer you and your partner feel, the higher you can fly.

Sounds great, right? But it's not always easy to do, especially in a world that doesn't give us the tools to make it happen. Charlie Glickman is a somatic sex educator and a sex & relationship coach. He'll lead you through a series of fully-clothed non-sexual exercises to help you discover some easy ways to bring embodied consent into your sex life. You'll learn:

* How to create an effective invitation for sex
* Ways to tune into your felt sense of consent so you can track where your desires really are
* Tools for letting your partner know that you value and honor their pleasure and consent
* What you can do to keep things in the "oh, yes" zone and what to do when missteps happen

Come find out what you can do to make your sex life hotter, juicier, and more passionate! These tools will work for any sexual activity, including BDSM and kink, and can be used by people of all genders and sexual orientations. You're welcome to come with a partner, a friend, or solo.

Cost at the door: $30.
Attendance is limited to 60 people.
