SUMMARY:Why the Sex Isn’t Working (and What to Do About It)\, Part I: Fight
DESCRIPTION:A three-part series for couples and polycules\, exploring the most common places where sex breaks down\, and how to rebuild with intention\, honesty\, and skill. \nGrounded in sex therapy and informed by kink-aware\, queer-inclusive practice\, this series looks at sex not as an isolated act\, but as something shaped by conflict\, connection\, and relationship. \nJuly 16th: Part 1 – Fight\nWhen sex isn’t working\, it’s often not about sex. \nThe first part of the series looks at the conflicts\, tensions\, and relational patterns that block desire and connection. We’ll explore how resentment\, misaligned expectations\, communication breakdowns\, and unspoken needs show up in intimate spaces. \nYou’ll learn how to identify the actual fight you’re having (hint: it’s rarely about the surface issue)\, and how to engage conflict in a way that creates connection instead of distance\, and safety instead of resentment. We’ll work with tools for tenderness\, empathy\, and staying present in difficult conversations\, negotiation\, and boundary setting. \nJuly 30th: Part 2 – Fun\nBefore sex can work\, the relationship needs to feel alive. \nWhen everything becomes logistical\, tense\, or goal-oriented\, intimacy often follows suit. This workshop focuses on the role of play\, fun\, lightness\, and connection outside of sex\, and how their absence can quietly erode desire. \nWe’ll explore how partners lose access to shared joy\, and what it takes to rebuild it. What creates a sense of “us”? How do playfulness\, curiosity\, and mutual enjoyment show up in everyday interactions? And how can you reintroduce them without it feeling forced or performative? \nThis session is about widening the lens: seeing sex as something that grows out of the overall tone of a relationship\, not something that can be fixed in isolation. \nAugust 13th: Part 3 – Fuck\nOnce conflict is addressed and connection is alive\, how do we actually do sex in a way that works? \nThis workshop focuses on the experience of sex itself: arousal\, pacing\, communication during intimacy\, and the role of play within sex. We’ll explore how to move away from scripts and expectations\, and toward something more responsive\, collaborative\, and alive. \nWhat makes sex feel fun\, engaging\, and connected in the moment? How can we understand and embrace each other’s sexual blueprints? And how do we navigate mismatched desire\, shifting arousal\, or things not going according to plan? \nExpect honest conversations about bodies\, variability\, and the realities of sex\, along with tools to build attunement\, flexibility\, and shared enjoyment. This is where the pieces come together: not perfect sex\, but sex that actually works for the people having it. \nWhat to expect\n\nA structured\, three-part approach: conflict (Fight)\, relational connection (Fun)\, and sexual experience (Fuck)\nReal-time conversations and exercises with your partner(s)\nInsight into how non-sexual dynamics (resentment\, disconnection\, routine) shape sexual difficulties\nTools for navigating difficult conversations\, rebuilding connection\, and shifting relational patterns\nExploration of play\, curiosity\, and responsiveness – both in relationships and in sex\nHonest\, practical discussion of how sex actually works and how to take agency\n\nWho it’s for\n\nLGBTQIA+ couples and polycules feeling stuck\, frustrated\, or disconnected in their sex lives\nPeople who want to work on things actively — not just get information and techniques\nThose open to reflecting on their role in relational and sexual dynamics\nKink-aware\, queer\, and non-normative folks looking for inclusive\, applicable frameworks\nAnyone interested in building sex that feels more connected\, flexible\, and alive rather than scripted
