The Pleasure Talk with Sex Positive World
309 1st Ave S
Seattle
WA 98104
Join us for an interactive workshop on creating safer sex and more pleasurable connections through awesome communication!
“The Talk” has taken many forms with many names over the years, with frameworks for navigating safer sex and healthy boundaries including Evelin Dacker’s “STARS” & Reid Mihalko’s “Elevator Speech”, among others. This class builds upon skills learned using these tools, and offers an updated framework created by and for our Sex Positive community. You can use The Pleasure Talk in your own relationships, at events, and anywhere you find yourself in intimate connections with others.
This workshop was collaboratively created by Dawn Woodard, Avery Deane Swift, Erin Tillman, and Randall Hibbard with support and input from members of our Portland and Los Angeles chapters.
What to expect:
This workshop will be very interactive with opportunities for discussion as a whole group and to practice the pieces of the talk with other attendees. You’ll meet the facilitators at the start, we’ll set some guidelines for the event, we’ll introduce the talk, and then go through the three parts of the talk, followed by an opportunity to practice each in small groups. We will also have a bio break about halfway through. As with all of our workshops, you can always opt out of any activity at any time and you don’t even need a reason.
Important Information:
- This class is being offered on a sliding fee scale. However, if you need additional financial assistance, please email Leah at [email protected] to ask about our scholarship program.
- No late entry will be allowed due to the intimate nature of this workshop. Doors will be locked at 10 minutes after the start time.
