Positively Sexy: "Does this culture of systematic shame make me look fat?"
Friday, October 23rd
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
FREE!

At Good Vibrations we believe that all bodies have a right to experience pleasure. It is no secret that we as a culture are inundated with social expectation surrounding appearance and sexuality. Yet, recently in popular media, there are more and more examples of those who are breaking through this pressure to discover and express their true selves freely. Finally, we are starting to see a more diverse body and identity spectrum in advertising, clothing companies, television and film. And while the idea of living in a body and sex positive world no longer seems so unattainable, many people find themselves still struggling to build confidence and overcome shame. In this workshop, Sales Associate-Sex Educators Adri and Natasha invite you to the places where body and sex positivity intersect, and find why they are important. Through activity and discussion, they will explore: the current need for an actively intersectional, inclusive culture surrounding sex and bodies; how to deal with shame and judgement externally and internally; and the ways body image and representation can shape our sexual identities and needs. Natasha and Adri will also provide you with tools and resources to combat body and sexual shame in your own life and in your communities. All sexualities/genders welcome.
