Please note this event is at 11 am PST, 12 pm MT, 1 pm CT, and 7 pm GMT and lasts for 3 hours.

The Pleasure Talk!

"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" and Reid Mihalko's "Elevator Speech", among others.

This class builds upon skills around connection, safety, and pleasure! We build upon these using tools and share an updated framework created by and for our Sex Positive community. You can use The Pleasure Talk in your own relationships, at our events, and anywhere you find yourself in intimate connections with others!

This workshop is fun and interactive, with opportunities for discussion as a whole group and to practice the pieces of the talk in smaller breakout rooms. You'll meet the facilitators at the start, we'll set some guidelines for the event, and then you'll get to check in with some of the other participants in small breakout rooms.

For the rest of the workshop, we'll introduce the talk and then go through the three parts of the talk, followed by an opportunity to practice each in small group breakout rooms. 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.

NOTE: This class counts for leveling purposes in SPW and many chapters where a safer sex talk class is part of leveling up requirements. If you're a chapter member, check with your chapter leadership if you have questions about those requirements.

About Sex Positive World:

Sex Positive World is an umbrella organization that encourages and supports worldwide sex-positive communities. We are an entirely volunteer-run non-profit committed to changing societal ideas and values around sexuality through education and empowerment.

Our umbrella covers all aspects of human sexuality, including gender and orientation (LGBTQIA), relationship styles (monogamy-polyamory), and sexual expressions (kink, tantra, lifestyle). We focus on consent and boundaries, how to have a sexy safer sex talk, body-positivity, healthy touch, sexual health, reproductive freedom, trans rights, anti-racism (yes, this is a sex-positive issue!), sex-positive parenting, and more.

This organization was founded in 2009 as a single chapter in Portland, Oregon, and we have since expanded to more than 5,000 members and 10 chapters in cities across the US and Europe. You can learn more about Sex Positive World HERE!
