Good Vibrations Co-Presents a Special Evening with NYT best-selling author Christopher Ryan ("Sex At Dawn") in San Francisco

San Francisco, CA -- (October 26th, 2011): Good Vibrations, the pioneering San Francisco-based company that takes pride in providing accurate information on sexuality and toys for grown-ups, proudly co-presents the Sex At Dawn panel and party and performances in honor of New York Times best-selling author Christopher Ryan, author of Sex At Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality on Wednesday, November 9th in San Francisco.

Join Club Exotica and Good Vibrations for a very special evening with Christopher Ryan, author of the bestselling book "Sex At Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality." Ryan will discuss his work followed by a panel of modern relationship luminaries moderated by Good Vibrations Staff Sexologist Dr. Carol Queen. The panel will review the implications of his findings: that humans have never been a naturally monogamous species.

Independent scholar Ryan presents only the data. He does not suggest how to change your life to live in accordance with his reading of human nature. The panelists will pick up where Ryan’s work ends to discuss how people are working to develop new relationship models that are both in line with our nature and work within our modern social context. There will be extensive Q&A and a forum to continue the dialog with panelists late into the evening. This is a unique opportunity to hear Ryan and others address complex, intimate relationship issues in an informal yet elegant setting and meet others working to manage similar challenges and enjoy open intimate partnerships.

Panelists include:
Christopher Ryan, author of Sex At Dawn sexatdawn.com; Dr. Carol Queen, co-founder Center For Sex And Culture sexandculture.org; Reid Mihalko, sex and relationship expert reidaboutsex.com; Marcia Baczynski, relationship coach, sex educator, author askingforwhatyouwant.com; Polly Pandemonium, founder of Kinky Salon kinkysalon.com; Sara Kiss, hostess Club Kiss clubkiss.us; Philippe Lewis, co-founder Club Exotica clubexoticapresents.com; and Jocelyn Agloro, co-founder Club Exotica clubexoticapresents.com.

The discussion will be followed by live performances and one of San Francisco’s sexiest dance parties with Adam & Eve dress recommended, produced by Club Exotica on Wednesday, November 9th at SupperClub, 657 Harrison Street, San Francisco. The talk and panel begin at 8pm followed by a dance party and performances at 10pm. Details here.
