Better Sex Through Laughter
BETTER SEX THROUGH LAUGHTER

1-4pm
Hadley, MA
$40 per person
Nothing gets the room tittering and guffawing like sex talk. And in this workshop, the titters and guffaws will be joined by joyous whoops, howls, and full-bellied laughter as we explore sex education through improvisation in a supportive, safe, and playful zone.
In this workshop, we'll use improv exercises to create a judgement-free space where our individuality and creative minds can burst free. We will explore topics such as releasing taboos from the language of sex, expanding our definitions of sexuality, creating a sex-positive life, reducing judgment in order to better accept yourself and others as sexual beings. Sexual orientation, love style, gender identification, relationship style, fetishes, preferences, and acts may be on the table for discussion as all your questions will entertained with respect in an effort to provide the most helpful answers.
Your first question might be this: Will there be any sexual touching?
The answer is: No.
Your second question might be this: Do clothes stay on?
The answer is: Yes. Very much so.
This workshop looks a lot like a typical improv workshop. In BETTER SEX THROUGH LAUGHTER, we use improvisation exercises and discussion to further our learning about sexuality. (If you want to do some unclothed touching after class, that's totally up to you!)
This workshop is open to anyone 18 years and older.
GREAT FOR COUPLES, BEST FRIENDS, OR SINGLES.
You must be 18 years old and up to attend this workshop.
Please be aware that there will be explicit language used and sexually explicate topics discussed.
