Do you experience pain with intercourse? It’s not in your head! Many women suffer from a common and often misunderstood vaginal pain condition called vulvar vestibulodynia, also know as vulvar vestibulitis syndrome or vulvodynia. Pain can be experienced with intercourse or other sexual contact. Some women also experience discomfort with tampon use, a medical exam, riding a bike, sitting, or wearing tight pants. You will leave this seminar informed about this condition - the causes, treatment and supports – enabling you to make informed decisions regarding your health care and sexuality. 1 1/2 hrs long

Are you curious but you are afraid it will hurt? Maybe you want to try to explore your lover's body? Or possibly you're already into being bottoms up and just want to know more? This class will teach you how to get the most pleasure out of anal play while staying safe and caring for your body. Expect to learn:

- Creative sex communication techniques, including how to introduce the idea of anal sex to your partner. - How to give and/or receive pain free anal sex. - Not if, but how a woman can orgasm from anal pleasure. - Which toys and products can make anal sex easier and more fun. Plus which products are the healthiest, highest quality and have the best price. - Valuable information on safety and hygiene.

Most of us know what turns us on but not why it turns us on. We may know the body types we find attractive or that we like to have sex in hotels or with leather pants and spiked heels or with a fantasy going on in our minds eye but we may not understand the reasons for these preferences.

Join us this evening and shed some light on your understanding of the mysterious nature of arousal and the secret logic of sexual fantasies. This logic helps us accept the deeper levels of our own psyches and helps us to be less critical of our own or our partner’s choices in the sexual realm. This evening is for anybody who is curious about their sexuality choices or that of others. Concepts are based on a book by Dr. Michael J Bader and his Book called “Arousal”.

In this very intimate and informative class you will get to watch a live demonstration of the fine art of pussy massage. Class begins with the fundamental touch and communication skills that everyone needs for giving and receiving an exquisite sensual massage. Then you’ll learn over 20 different detailed strokes for massaging her vulva inside and out including some little known secret spots that will give her maximum pleasure. The woman in your life will thank you for attending. Men, women and couples may attend. Questions welcome. This class, while very sexual and explicit, is always conducted tastefully with a sense of humour. Come and enjoy!

Testimonial: 

The G-Spot holds incredible pleasure potential, yet this tissue can be numb or uncomfortable due to sexual or emotional blockages that are stored in this area. In this live demonstration, you will learn all about the G-spot, view a G-spot, watch a live demonstration of G-spot massage, and learn how to have a G-spot orgasm and ejaculation by yourself or from your partner using toys and hands. Men & Women welcome.

We rarely talk about our sexual lives.
Yet sexuality is such a rich part of our lives and we benefit in many ways when we can open up about it.

We will create a safe environment to do that.
Come and tell your sexual story and listen to those of others.
If you have it in written format (like many writers have) you are welcome to read it.

Sharing your secrets with other people who are doing the same can be a powerfully liberating experience. It can also save thousands in therapy!

We promise the evening will be educational, entertaining, and stirring!

Some stories maybe be positive and uplifting and others may be sad and painful. Our true sex stories include the whole range of sexual experience. 

Examples are:
- Losing your virginity at 58
- Selling panties on the web and meeting the guys who buy them
- A macho guy's first prostate stimulated orgasm
- Watching your parents get it on
- Becoming a sugar daddy and…
- …becoming his girl
- Living with a very short penis
- A first trip to the dungeon (not the one in a castle)
- Lovemaking as a religious or spiritual experience
- And more..!

Please attend only if you are willing to share about an event or two in your sexual history.

As women the relationship we have with our pussy is the most formative of our erotic life and often a mix of joy, pleasure, regret and guilt. By co-creating a safe space we will share and explore our present relationships and how old cultural and social concepts have held us back. Tonight we delve back into the history of the pussy and gain understanding about the restrictive influences placed on it throughout time back to the middle ages. With video clips and group exercises we will gain insight into how these ancient old patterns and concepts have held our pussy power back and how in our present day we can embrace its full passion, potential and power!

After 15 years of monogamous marriage, Mark and Lianna decided to open their relationship and have sex with other people. Although this decision was partially precipitated by Mark's bisexuality and his desire to be with men, ultimately the couple wanted more from their marriage – and each other: more love, more intimacy, more passion, more excitement and adventure.

They are now three years into their experiment, and thus far the results have been spectacular; nothing short of revelatory. Both of them have been astounded by the unexpected – and highly counter-intuitive changes that have occurred within each of them individually, and between them as a couple.

Wanna add another tool to your box but don’t know where to start?

With the popularity of Bend Over Boyfriend videos and the proliferation of sex-toy stores aimed at women, Strap-on play, once considered taboo, is now en vogue, and, for many of us, an essential part of our sex lives. But unless you had the chutzpah to blaze your own trail or a special someone to show you the ropes, buckling up can be intimidating.

Join Sapphic savant and veteran pegster, Allison Moon, for this fun, informative, and sexy introduction to the world of harnesses, dildos, lubes and moves.

In this 2-hour workshop for all genders and orientations, you will learn…

2. The importance of knowing yourself, possessing confidence and esteem... And knowing what you want.

3. Differences between dating queer / lesbian / gay identified women vs. bisexual and/or bi-curious women -- the politics and the subtleties.

4. Applying these concepts to communication, initiation, and transitioning from friendship to romance.

Please note that Danielle's presentation style is more experiential in nature. This seminar will not be a lecture format, but one that is based in discussion and personal experience. Bring your questions, struggles, stories, and sense of humor!
