About this event

➡️ EVENT SOLD OUT? QUESTIONS ABOUT PRACTICALITIES? THE FAQ TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO AND WHERE TO GO: www.exploringdeeper.com/faq.

Do you feel overwhelmed by how many vibrators, dildos, butt plugs, harnesses and restraints, paddles and floggers, and who-knows-what are out there in the world? When it comes to sex toys, which ones do which things, how do you use them safely, which ones will your body love (and which will you hate)? How to make sex toys your friend?

If you…
- Feel a little intimidated or embarrassed by the idea of adult toys…
- Worry that you’ll be replaced by a sex toy or that you’ll never be able to enjoy “regular sex” again…
- Have SO MANY questions about which toys are best for your body (or a lovers!)...
- Love the idea of having a sex toy bag (or a tool belt!) full of the best toys for the job…

Let’s face it, most people want to feel confident in between the sheets and Culture does a horrible job educating us on being sexually savvy. Worse, when it does, sex education often feels like going to the dentist.

That was, until now…

Join professional sex geek Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com for an outrageously informative, irreverent and hilarious evening of adult education and LIVE demonstrations devoted to helping you learn how to think about sensation, get confident and creative with toys, and understand why a body might want them!

FOR WHO IS THIS EVENT?
This event welcomes folks from all walks of life. We are LGBTQIIA+ informed (Wilrieke and most of their team identify as such), slut-friendly, trauma-informed, and non-monogamy informed. White folks are overrepresented in our team and life experiences are colored through that lens. We do come from different social backgrounds and have different life experiences when it comes to health, wealth, neurodiversity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
We welcome people with specific needs as much as able-bodied folks. Feel free to reach out if you have specific needs that you wish to share with us.
