Consent and Porn: Making Relationship Agreements

What do you do when one person enjoys porn a lot more than another? Have you ever had periods in a romantic or sexual relationship where you or your partner(s) were more interested in solo sex/masturbation than sex with you? Do you have things you enjoy watching in pornography that you would never want in real life? Or maybe there are things from porn that wildly excite you, but you don’t know how to talk about it with a partner? 

In this workshop, we’ll give guidance on how to talk about porn with your significant other(s) and explore how you can create relationship agreements that honor everyone’s unique relationship to porn. There will be opportunities for participants to engage anonymously through polls and other apps, publicly in group discussions, or in small groups in breakout rooms. This session will not be recorded.
