About this event
PLEASURE
Why do we have sex ?
What does pleasure feel like ?
What are the differences between pleasurable thoughts, feelings and sensations ?
What are the different kinds of pleasure ?
What obstructs pleasure ?
What makes it difficult to ask for what we want ?
What do we do instead of just asking for what we want ?
What dynamics are at play in a sexual encounter ?
What effect does the Sexual Script have on the pleasure we experience when having sex ?
What strategies can we use to overcome performance anxiety, self-consciousness and shame when having sex with ourselves or our partner(s) ?
In what ways can we go off-script, and maximise the pleasure we experience when having sex ?
Quite rightly, those of us involved in work to do with sex and gender spend a lot of time focusing on sexual violence- its causes and effects and ways we can prevent it and support those who have survived it. What is often missing or marginalised in these conversations is an exploration of why many of us have sex in the first place- for pleasure.
This workshop delivered by Ruth Eliot is an inclusive and sex-positivel investigation into what sexual pleasure means and an exploration of ways to experience as much of it as possible.
We will
- engage in discussions, activities and personal reflection to explore the questions above
- myth-bust common misconceptions about anatomy, arousal, desire and pleasure
- cultivate an atmosphere that is open-minded, kind and respectful to a variety of perspectives, sexual proclivities and ideas
- have a chill zone available throughout the workshop where anyone is welcome to retreat to if they feel overwhelmed / triggered
- have a No Questions Asked policy for anyone who leaves the workshop at any point
We won’t
- do any sexual activity of any kind
- be asked or expected to share any personal information about our own sexual experiences / desires
- assume any knowledge prior to the workshop
- expect people to be familiar with any specific terminology
