Guided Discussions: Pleasure Practices and Creative Masturbation
Ariadna Rodriguez Barclay, CHSE
Part 1: May 9, 2023
With a growing pressure for productivity, many of us have not taken the time to intentionally learn how our bodies access pleasure, and how this access can change as we venture through life. The first part of this workshop series aims to help us differentiate between activities that comfort us, to those that pleasure us by identifying the role our senses play in pleasure.
Part 2: May 23, 2023
Masturbation can be so much more than just a "wham, bam, thank you ma'am" experience. By intentionally exploring our body's access to sexual pleasure, we can evolve our solo-sex practices into ones that are engaging, creative, and fully explorative. Not only enhancing and strengthening our bonds with our bodies but also positively impacting partnered or group sexual play.
