Featuring Nika Cherrelle
Friday, May 29th | 5:30pm – 8pm Pacific Time
Some people believe that you can only get pleasure through sex or more specifically intercourse. That someone else “MAKES” them orgasm and it is that person’s responsibility. They also believe that if they don’t orgasm that it is someone’s fault, be it their own or the people that they are sexual with. Someone must be doing something wrong or the very common “What’s wrong with me?” What if I told you that it is no one’s fault? That there is nothing wrong with you and that YOU are responsible for your own orgasm
What if you could control when you cum? What if orgasm was easy and not something to get right? We put a lot of pressure on the orgasm being the pinnacle of sex and if it doesn’t happen the sex wasn’t good. And many people don’t even know what is pleasurable for them in the first place.
In the Power of Pleasure Autonomy we will look at why masturbation is important, the autonomy of pleasure and some fun masturbation techniques. In this workshop you will gain agency over your orgasm, let go of the shame that can come with orgasm and some new techniques for stimulating your body. Hang on tight! This is about to get fun!
BONUS: All participants will receive a special discount code to the Good Vibrations & Trigger Happy Toys Online Stores.
