Every second Tuesday of the month we will be treated to sex and kink education on a wide range of topics. Stay tuned for more sexy topics coming your way!

PLEASURE SEEKERS:

Consensual Nonmonogamy Panel Discussion 

Consensual nonmonogamy isn’t rare; 20% of Americans have engaged in CNM at some point in their lives. Come join Pleasure Seekers as we talk to a panel of people who are in various forms of nonmonogamous relationships: polyamory, swinging, open relationships, relationship anarchy, and monogamish. We will discuss how they found nonmonogamy, how they navigate struggles, and the benefits they receive. We'll even get into some of the more controversial stuff like jealousy and whether it's an orientation or choice.

Our panelists are there to address your burning curiosity and share their lived experiences. This will be a facilitated panel but there will be time for audience engagement so bring your questions!

About the Panelists (developing):

Thunderbunny (he/him) has been consensually non monogamous for over a decade, and a kinkster at least that long. He's a student of human behavior, including his own, and dabbles in areas related to communication and what that actually means, as well as accountability, autonomy, and why they're important enough to actually define. 

Tattooed_N_Nerdy (she/her) is a total sex nerd, both personally and professionally. As an educator and sex therapist, she provides knowledge about kink, sexuality, consensual nonmonogamy, intimacy, desire, and navigating trauma recovery. From the classroom to the therapy room to the conference room to the play space, she is an intersectional and sex-positive provocateur hoping to instigate thoughtful dialogue and dispel shame related to all things kinky and sexy.
