The Talk, A Group Discussion Series w/a Sex Therapist: Kink + BDSM

If you did get "the talk" at some point, chances are it didn't include how to embrace a kinky lifestyle or what more 'vanilla' relationships can learn from kinky practices. We know that our relationships and how we experience sex shape who we are, so where are we supposed to learn? It's never too late to change old beliefs about what's "normal," get out of a sexual rut, try something new, or find community...

Join me in Barcelona every month to discuss everything you never had the chance to learn while growing up in a world where sexual messages are EVERYWHERE yet sex is too taboo to talk about openly. This edition of The Talk offers a judgment-free zone to learn how to embrace kink as part of your solo adventures or your relationship . . . all while connecting with new friends over your own experiences. Whether you're a more experienced kinkster or feeling shy and wanting to know more about it, this talk is for you.

Facilitated by sex therapist, Willow Star. IG @withwillowstar

What should I expect? Willow will lead you through a group discussion, with time for small group discussions, leaving you with practical tools and reflections to continue at home with your lovers and partners. You are absolutely welcome to jump into the discussion at any time, however, you can also simply listen and not participate! As always we'll take a 10-minute break halfway through for you to get to know each other. We will touch on open relationships, but in an effort to serve the masses, this talk will be focused on monogamous relationships.

*TICKET COST: Free to enter, pay what you can at the end. Your free entry ticket includes water and wine. You can contribute to the rental of the space at the end by Bizum, Wise, bank transfer, or cash.

About Me:

Hi! I’m Willow. I hold a psychology degree from New York University, and two masters degrees: one in Sex & Couples Therapy and another in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I’ve been teaching university students in Barcelona for the last 4 years, most notably in my course The Psychology of Human Sexuality. I've also been hosting The Talk for almost a year already! Understanding your sexuality, relationships, & dating habits is a lifelong journey and no one expects you to have all the answers. These talks provide a supportive environment in which you realize you are not alone in your doubts, insecurities, fantasies, or experiences - and gives you real tools to take home with you. Can't wait to meet you soon!
