SPEEC Presents - Big, Beautiful Sex: Body Image and Sexuality
Who says you have to be skinny* to have the best sex of your life? Whether its media and advertising images of perfect bodies or snarky comments about our weight, fat-shaming is all around us, and it can get in the way of our sexual confidence and pleasure. In this workshop, which combines lecture and discussion, I will talk about attitudes (both external and internal) that can hold us back from great sex and specific challenges we face as plus-sized lovers. You will learn skills from communication tools to the best toys, techniques and positions to help you embrace your sexuality and have big, beautiful sex. 90 min. w/ Q&A
* Appropriate for anyone with any type of body image issues regardless of size.
