Past Events at Valencia Deep Throat and the Art of Oral Sex Deep throat- lots of people fantasize about it and lots of people want to be able to do it. But figuring out how to make it hot and fun for both people can be a bit tricky. Fortunately, Madison Young has the skills and she’s here to help you make it work. She’ll give you all sorts of fellatio tips, explain how to relax the gag reflex, offer ideas for making it as much fun to give deep oral sex as it is to receive, tell you how to use your throat muscles to drive your guy wild, and ways you can deep throat dildos as well as penises. Full of great ideas and useful hints, this workshop will give you all sorts of new ways to make your guy’s toes curl! The Sexuality of Pregnancy & Birth (NEW) There are many ways that mothers-to-be and their partners might experience pregnancy, labor and childbirth and how they affect sexuality. Join Carrie Flemming, MA for an evening devoted to The Sexuality of Pregnancy & Birth, a multimedia workshop of empowering information, guided visualization, film and personal exploration as a foundation for dialogue about the sexuality of pregnancy and labor. In a safe and nurturing space, we will connect with our sexuality, explore feelings and experiences, and engage in dialogue about the personal and collective consciousness around the sexuality of pregnancy and birth. You'll gain practical information about sex during pregnancy and labor, intimacy as a labor-enhancer, effects of sexual trauma on the birthing mother and much more. This workshop is intended for anyone interested in exploring sexuality in the context of pregnancy and birth with an emphasis toward pregnant women, partners of pregnant women and professionals who support pregnant moms & families. For more information about Carrie, please visit carrieflemming.com. The Top as Shaman – Setting the Pathway for Transformation (NEW) The role of the top is often misunderstood; a top is seen as adequate when they have the techniques and rhythms of the scene down pat. But it limits the truly transformational role that a top can play in the lives of their partners (and, as a result, in their own lives). Sarah Sloane believes that an exceptional top acts as mentor, guide, leader, and counselor. Come explore how, as a top, you can enable the bottoms that you play with to reach new heights in personal, spiritual, and sexual ecstasy. Join us for a discussion that will offer ideas, techniques, and inspiration for both novice and experienced tops in adding the soul dimension to their play. For more information about the presenter, please visit sarahsloane.net. Related Products: Sensuous Magic: A Guide For Adventurous Couples, The Ultimate Guide To Sexual Fantasy Reinventing Our Relationships Building on her feminist critique of love and relationships, Wendy-O Matik presents the major concepts and challenges that we face trying to re-invent our relationships outside the dominant social paradigm. Radical love is the freedom to love who you want, how you want, and as many as you want, so long a personal integrity, respect, honesty, and consent are at the core of any and all relationships. Radical love primarily focuses on love and intimacy, not sex and sexual conquest. At the heart of this work are three components: feminism, social activism, and revolution. The workshop is followed by a discussion and intended to create a non-judgmental support group.

“Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality” reading and discussion by author Hanne Blank Like the typewriter and the light bulb, the heterosexual was invented in the 1860s and swiftly and permanently transformed Western culture. Though men and women had been having sex, marrying, building families, and sometimes even falling in love for millennia without having any special name for their emotions or acts, within half a century, "heterosexual" had become a byword for "normal," enshrined in law, medicine, psychiatry, and the media as a new gold standard for human experience. Hanne Blank shows how culture creates and manipulates the ways we think about and experience desire, love, and relationships between men and women and how the history of heterosexuality turns out to be anything but straight or narrow.
