Join this class with your partner to start processing your mismatched sexualities led by queer sex therapist Ceci. You will get useful information on sexuality and sexual reactions as well as time and space for finding the same page – or even understand which books you are in. This means the workshop consists of both lecture content and exercises with your partner.
We will discuss needs and desires, what stands in way of intimacy and what makes it possible. You will have a safer and calmer environment for important conversations, removed from everyday life. You will also have the chance for peer support from other pairs or polycules (to the extent that you feel comfortable sharing).
This workshop is meant for queer pairs and polycules that have sexual relationships (with or without romance). Prepare for the workshop by discussing what you are prepared to share openly with the other participants and what you want to keep between yourself. Bring paper and pens, a snack and whatever you need to feel comfortable.

Who is this event for?
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgment to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
