Let's Talk About Smut!

Join sex educator Robyn Manning-Samuels for an interactive workshop about erotica and fantasy. We'll talk about what sexually explicit media is and what we can learn from it. Then we'll work through an exercise to help us explore our fantasies and improve our sexual communication skills. Bring a piece of written smut (like a romance novel or fanfic) to use for the activity. Participation is encouraged but not required, either way we hope to see you there!
