The
Extraordinary Sex Workshop:
Truth, Dare, Share,
& Bare
By husband and wife;
Chip August and Mary Katherine "Kat" Calderon
Create
Intimacy through advanced Sexual techniques that break through inhibitions,
expand traditional boundaries, and deepen intimate connection.
Which came first, The Sex or The
Intimacy?
When we are constricted by cultural norms, inching beyond "accepted
behaviors" feels like taboo and can feel frightening. When we get
comfortable in our sexual practices often times the magic that was once
in lovemaking fades. We will be stepping out of Comfort Zones and societally
imposed limits to rekindle the fires, explore the magic, and free our
eroticism. Find your edge and ride it with your partner.
Here is an opportunity to try AWESOME Sex techniques and arousal methods
you may not have ever tried before – or not have thought about
– experiment with and experience sex and eroticism in ways that
you have previously felt awkward trying. Lots of heat plus an enormous
sense of connection will develop as you take this journey and allow
your expanding sexuality to deepen the intimacy with your partner.
Bring your curiosity, your desire to explore inhibiting limitations.
This is an opportunity to express your outrageous curiosity and desire for a full and awesome shared physical/emotional/spiritual experience. Allow all of you to reach full fruition, to flower, and to fulfill some of your wildest fantasies around your sexuality. Step over the line of societally imposed teachings.
This will be an active "doing", body to body
Workshop. Not intended for anyone that is not comfortable with a highly
charged sexual environment.
We will create a safe container for each person and couple to explore
their sensuality, sexuality, and feelings of yummy connection. Nothing
will be mandated. You will be at choice around exercises that simply
don't appeal to you or that you need to practice in private. However,
to have a great workshop we know you'll want to try on some new ways
of expressing your sexuality and be able to share your experiences with
other couples on the erotic journey.
What are you willing to "Bare?"
A Touch of Intimacy – A Touch of Ass!
Play and Explore Where No (Wo)Man has gone before.This workshop will be for non-specific gender couples. Sign ups will be in couples, as you will be doing all of the exercises with your partner. We have room for 9 Couples so space is limited.
