Human sexuality; as defined through the lens of experiencing pleasure—is a group for folx to explore, share and dive into aspects of sexuality that interest them! Our goal is to empower, engage and educate all people who attend this group to enjoy all of the multifaceted layers of pleasure. We will build a home away from home where all folx will feel seen, heard and respected. Topics include:
What is pleasure?
What is consent?
What does pleasure mean to you?
Mindfulness in the bedroom
Self-pleasure and more!
