Sexy Intersections: Anti-Oppression & Sex Positivity is a class that helps us all think about the many power dynamics that affect us when we interact in sex positive community.
Sexy Intersections is a core class in Sex Positive World (SPW) for all of us wanting to learn more about how we show up/speak up/receive feedback from others when we share space together.
This class is a good space for beginners who are eager to learn as well as for experienced community members who want more tools & techniques to navigate sexy spaces & be better allies to others & themselves as well.
We’ll think about our many identities & how they shape our expertise, & the areas where we need to learn & grow. We’ll spend time talking about the inevitable mistakes we make & the ways our actions & words can hurt each other, even with the best of intention. We'll also walk through ways to better handle those hard times when we’ve done things that don’t align with who we think we are.
We’ll center race & gender in the exercises we work on together while learning more about how all aspects of oppression & privilege effect our sex positive interactions in community. We'll encourage folks from all walks of life to work on perspective-taking from our privileges as well as our oppressions.
