What’s it like to be queer, polyamorous and under 30 in today’s world?

2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the publishing of Stranger In A Strange Land, one of the first popular, American novel containing a consensual non-monogamous subplot. Forty-one years ago the Stonewall Uprising ignited the gay liberation movement. And 29 years ago, IBM would release the world’s first PC…

So what’s today’s world like for queer, poly folk born in and after 1981?

Join sex and relationship expert Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com as he moderates and interviews a discussion panel filled with just that: The queer, the poly, and the under 30!

Our Panelists…

ABOUT ALLIE: Sapphic savant and former “mayor” of Camp Beaverton for Wayward Girls, Burning Man’s home for queer women, Allie has been doling out sex tips for years.

Certified by the Ohio Board of Health in STD and HIV prevention, Allie also works for the LA Gay & Lesbian Center, and writes sex advice for a number of publications as well as throwing the occasional Girl-Sex 101 workshop. A dynamic and down-to-Earth speaker, she’s a pro at helping novices earn their stripes.

Allie is finishing her first novel (one in a series) about a pack of college-age, lesbian werewolves. You can follow Allie’s literary exploits and musings on neo-gender feminism and furry, paranormal things at www.talesofthepack.com.

About Katie: Katie “Megaphone” Diamond, originator of the queer, feminist sex magazine SALACIOUS, is a radical queer comic artist and graphic designer living in Portland, Maine. She strongly believes in the direct cross-over of art and politics, and uses this dogma in her every-day art practice. She’s done many illustrations and cartoons about gender, sexuality, and sex education. She’s also designed many pamphlets, flyers, and posters for various local organizations.

Throughout Greater Portland, Diamond is organizing and implementing exciting local events. She’s the organizing force behind the Portland Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School, and has been a co-producer of the Portland Femme Show for the past two years.

Diamond graduated from the Maine College of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration. At MECA, she obtained the nickname of “Megaphone” because of her intense involvement in the communities of the school, and Greater Portland. Using illustration as her springboard, Diamond has organized a Voting Education and Registration Drive; put into action a huge Sex Education collaborative project; taught art classes to disadvantaged youth; painted a mural with elementary and high school students at their school; and designed posters and pamphlets for local non-profits.

Stylistically, she has been heavily influenced by cartoonist Alison Bechdel; comic artist Adrian Tomine; cartoonist Roberta Gregory; comic art historian Trina Robbins; and the late printmaker Kathe Kollwitz. Politically, Diamond looks to Kathe Kollwitz, as well as groups such as the Guerilla Girls and subRosa for inspiration as an artist-activist-advocate.

Keep an eye on the bookshelves in August, when Diamond will be published in the up-and-coming “Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation.” In a creative collaboration with queer vaudevillian cohort Johnny Blazes, Diamond’s comics move to the story-telling level to aid in telling Blazes’ story of genderqueeritude and self-discovery.

About Maymay: Meitar Maymay Moscovitz has been an active member of alternative sexuality communities since 2002. An outspoken, sex-positive feminist blogger, he authors several blogs on sexuality issues including the explicit photography blog MaleSubmissionArt.com that explores submissive masculinity and his personal “sex blog” at maybemaimed.com. He also co-hosts the weekly KinkOnTap.com Internet talk show discussing the interconnectedness of sexuality through politics, medical science, news and more. In 2009, he co-founded the all-ages educational KinkForAll series of sexuality unconferences in New York City that has since spread to 5 cities including Washington, DC and San Francisco. An open source programmer by day and a sexual freedom activist by night, Maymay’s passion lies in analyzing the intersection of technology and human sociosexual behavior.

An Expansive and Experiential Weekend Exploring Kundalini, the “Tantric Twitchies” and Vibrational Luvin’ with Live Demonstrations!

Lots of people are curious about Tantra and ecstatic sex, but don’t find the New Age approach appealing. If you’ve got a low tolerance for words like “chakras’ and “yoni,” you can still discover how to experience and play with sexual energy!

Sex and relationship expert (with a sense of humor) Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com will not only explain how sexual energy works but show you!

2-Days devoted to developing your awareness and mastery of sexual energy…

Come to 1 or both days!

Cultivate your awareness of sexual energy and give yourself the tools for engaging and expanding your energetic experiences (solo or with a partner)… And witness live demonstrations of what “Energetic Sex” can look like! Plus, tips for unlocking and activating pressure points on your partner’s body to enhance sexual energy, and lots, lots more… (And of course, if you do like the “woo,” Reid has plenty to offer you, too, in this unique 1-day or 2-day experience!)

Day-1 will be Rated-R. Day-2 will be more explicit. Read below…

This 2-day workshop Intensive is designed for curious beginners, intermediate seekers and advanced practitioners.

Perhaps you’ve heard of Tantra and remember reading somewhere (last month’s Cosmo?) something about “expanded orgasms,” but think that kind of stuff is only for people like Sting, yoga instructors or Jedi.

Maybe you or a lover has had ecstatic experiences in the bedroom involving post-orgasmic spasms that seem to have a mind of their own, but these spasms come and go infrequently enough that you can’t tell if they’re real or not.

Maybe you or your lover get these spasms all the time and you’ve since named them “the twitchys,” and when you told your friend the Kundalini yoga instructor about ‘em, they lit up and told you those spasms have a Sandskrit name called Kriyas (which you promptly forgot ’cause you don’t speak Sandskrit).

Whatever your level of experience with sex that seems to be “more than just sex,” join world renowned sex and relationship educator Reid Mihalko for 2-days of humorous and informative instruction, sex education, and live demonstrations on this esoteric (and yet more common than you think) realm of sex: Energetic Sex.

Day-1 will be Rated-R with a Show-N-Tell, Watch and Ask Questions format. All Day-1 demonstrations will be fully clothed. Day-2 is Rated NC-17, with more explicit demonstrations. Participants on Day-2 will be practicing fully-clothed exercises. No one under 18 admitted to either day, and no participant nudity.

Register ASAP.

Day-2 Limited to ONLY 20 Adults, with Day-1 attendance a pre-requisite.

Date: Saturday and Sunday, 14th adn 15th, 2010
Time: 1-5pm both days
Location: The Sharma Center
406 Dexter Street
Seattle WA 98109
Cost: Day-1 only: $97
Both Days: $197
Day-2: Attendance at Day-1 is a prerequisite to participate in Day-2.

Day-1: You’ll watch while Reid demonstrates.

You will be introduced to:

• Reid’s particular views on how sexual energy “behaves” and how it “works,” as well as ways you can begin accessing more energetic awareness in the bedroom
• What Kriyas (“the twitchys”) can look like and what to do when you or a lover experiences them
• Three possible approaches for engaging sexual energy and expanding it when exploring energetic sex with a partner or solo with yourself
• What playing a singing saw has to do with energetic sex and expanding your lovemaking
• Simple breathing and “presence” techniques to build up energetic awareness
• How to use “pressure play” and where so you can help unlock and activate points on your lover’s body to augment energetic experiences during love making
• A few advance tips and tricks that will make you smile and your partner moan regardless of whether “the twitchys” happen or not!

Day-2: Sunday limited to 20 participants only!

The group will watch explicit demonstrations from Reid and his models to review and enhance techniques covered on Day-1. Reid will introduce fully-clothed, voluntary exercises for class participants, along with personal and group coaching and guidance, to begin exploring, embodying and anchoring the content.

Some of Day-2’s content:

• How nudity changes sexual energy
• Techniques to enhance energetic lovemaking on female and male gendered bodies that are naked as opposed to clothed
• Techniques to keep erotic energy “in check” when and if you happen to be easily excitable and your partner becomes VERY excited…
• Fully-clothed exercises you and a partner can use to practice energetic sex (and time during Day-2 to try them out, if you’re a yes!)
• A variety of sexual positions that can help unlock and activate and energize you and your lover’s bodies during love making
• Live demonstrations of advance tips and tricks that will make you smile and your partner moan regardless of whether “the twitchys” happen or not!
• How to prevent energetic “burn out” or -as Reid likes to say- “How not to fry you and your partners’ brains!”

Come see for yourself just how energetic sex can be! And begin embodying it, too!

Whether you’d like to believe that energetic sex is possible but have never felt it, have a lover that experiences “the twitchys,” or it’s YOU who’s the one flopping around in bed wanting to learn how to harness these sexual energies, Reid’s Hands-On Energetic Sex Intensive is for you.

Please remember that this workshop spans Reid’s R-Rated and Rated NC-17 workshop offerings, which means no one under 18 will be admitted. Why the age cutoff? Because Day-2 of this workshop includes explicit (and, at times, quite humorous) sexual content and adult sex education. Day-1 is just as funny and frank, but it will be more R-rated. If you are not okay with frank demonstrations, sexual language, and nudity, then please refrain from attending Day-2 of this workshop and consider attending only Day-1 or one of Reid’s other Rated-R or Rated-PG13 workshops. Thanks!

This is not a partner workshop. You may attend solo, but we encourage you to bring your friends, so spread the word!

Workshop participants will not have to participate. Day-1 of this workshop is designed for participants to watch, take notes, ask questions, and to learn. Day-2 is designed with voluntary, fully-clothed exercises for participants to begin exploring, embodying and anchoring the information, techniques and teachings. No participants will be getting naked during these two days.

Watch and Learn as Real Sex Educators Go Head To Head and Reveal Their Best Bedroom Moves…

What better way to learn about practical sex education that you can actually use than to watch two sex educators literally go head to head?

Let’s face it, sex is one of the few things we’re not allowed to learn by watching others. You go to a fancy dinner. You don’t know which spoon to use. You watch to see what spoon everyone else uses… But don’t know what to do how in the bedroom, or want to add a few tricks to your repertoire? No such luck!

From Before Anyone Called It “Polyamory,” To Now, And Into Tomorrow…

Polyamory, literally meaning “many loves,” is the practice of simultaneous, close, emotional, and possibly sexual, relationships with two or more other individuals with the knowledge and consent of all partners concerned. The growing practice of polyamory in the U.S. indicates a significant shift in the way marriage and intimate relationships have evolved over the last few decades.

Join us for an honest, vulnerable conversation in your presence…

The personal stories we will share say more than we could ever reveal in a Power Point presentation or a lecture. Please join us for a memorable evening as we dive deeper into transparency, self-love, spiritual accountability, and ask ourselves…

• Where does the “healing” come from in Sexual Healing?
• How do we find the self-love we need in ourselves to heal our own wounds when we’re seen as “the teachers?”
• In the helping and healing professions, what are the secrets we’re not revealing? Where is our sexual shame? And how do they hold us back?

Come eavesdrop on what promises to be a juicy conversation between Reid and Scott, two people who have nothing to loose by revealing their vulnerabilities.

June was a busy, busy month for me and ReidAboutSex… It was busy mostly because I was decompressing from a month on the road in May (see May’s newsletter), dealing with pesky website virus warnings (my website’s healed now! Hallelujah!), and hitting the road again.

June was two weeks in Oakland, then off to New York City and then Chicago, with a quick wedding stop in between in lovely Akron, Ohio (My first time!). And then -boom!- back to Oakland to finish out the last two days of the month. Whew!

No sooner am I’m back at Fruitopia, my East Bay event space, than it occurs to me that I might not want to unpack. Why? I leave on Monday to teach in Los Angeles for 10-days. But… But…. When I was calendaring this all out, it looked so relaaaaaaxed.

I think it’s time to call Delta or Virgin America to see if they’ll sponsor me… Hehehe… Virgin Airlines, official sponsor of ReidAboutSex? Hmmmm…. Who’s got Sir Branson on their speed-dial?

Where ever I am this month, will you’ll join me? Yes? Great! Can’t? No worries, I’ve got a few things you can check out from where ever you are… One of ‘em just so happens to be this newsletter!

Picture of the Month: Three’s Company…

I’ve included some more pics down below from my workshops, but THIS one, which is obviously NOT from my travels had to get top billing, as I’m sure you can agree…

I had to post this on account that it made me laugh so hard. Tip of the hat to my friends from the Poly-Living conference who sent it along. Apparently, this frustrated feline might have gotten more tail (sorry, couldn’t resist) if they’d listened to my Initiating Successful Threesomes podclass, but who can say for sure, right? Join me in Seattle this October, why don’cha? I’ll be teaching my Negotiating Successful Threesomes workshop at the Poly Living West Cost conference, happening from the 23rd to the 24th.

Got Facebook? Fan me, why don’cha!

Video of the Month: Joseph Kramer!

It’s taken me forever to get around to editing some of the valuable footage I’ve got sitting in my hard drive. With apologies to the patient pioneer of Sexological Bodywork and founder of the New School for Erotic Touch, Joseph Kramer, for taking months to get this uploading to YouTube, here is Part 1 of what turned out to be an amazing interview. I was deeply honored that Joseph granted me the interview and took time out of his busy schedule to drive into San Fran in hallacious traffic it turns out.*

Thanks again, Joseph, for sharing so deeply your views, opinions and journey. It was a blast!

(*Traffic on the Bay Bridge was unbelievable that evening and ended up making Joseph late for the interview. As an added bonus, go to my ReidAboutSex YouTube channel to see the Prologue bit from Joesph’s interview, the part I edited out. Watch it to find out how a soccer game made Joseph late and what we did in response to that…)

College Speaking Tour

As many of you who’ve attended my workshops know and can see from the Joseph Kramer interview above, I’ve been dutifully filming footage of everything I’ve been teaching for about a year now. As some of you know, footage doesn’t edit itself! And while I’ve got a long history of working in the film and television world (actor, writer, producer), I’m not the fastest film editor in the West… Heck, I’m not the fastest editor anywhere in the U.S. for that matter!

To make matters worse,  I’ve also been gathering and digitizing lots of old footage of me teaching and being interviewed. I even have a bunch of my old Soap Opera acting gigs and old commercials on disc now (I was an actor, film producer and fight choreographer prior to launching my career as a sex and relationship expert, if you didn’t know).

Here’s the headshot that landed me a McDonalds commercial where I played a… Wait for it… Wait… You guessed it: a hockey player! Just wait till I show you my ESPN2 commercial with me as a Swedish lumberjack! Flannel never looked so sexy…

Thanks Ron Rinaldi at www.RonRinaldi.com for the headshot!

As my friend and old bartending/waitering buddy, Hollywood actor Billy Crudup (who’s also the voice for MasterCard in those commercials) would say, “Priceless!”

Short story long, I hope to have a lot of fun video stuff available for you in the coming months, including some really fun and insightful clips from some past in-store teaching gigs and college gigs. I know it’s Summer now and school’s out, but if you want to book me to come to speak at your College or University this September and October, I’m beginning to book my Fall Tour now, so email me at Reid (at) ReidAboutSex.com.

Speaking of college tours, hopefully, I’ll be able to include your school in something really BIG and exciting that I’ve been plotting now for several months… Nothing is certain yet, but, if I can manage to pull it off, it’s going to be awesomely fun and make for some great video footage, and maybe bring me to your Campus. Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!

Month in Review, in Pics…

It’s been a busy month on the road… And I’ve got the pix to prove it!

Whoa! Look at that Brooklyn, NY, sunset!... Hey! Who put that cool refreshing beverage in my hand? I'm supposed to be workin'!

I swear I was busting my hump the four days I was in the Big Apple; however, my trip home to New York City was nearly entirely filled with Relationship Coaching and Sex Ed Mentoring Clients. The one night I did have a few free hours, I stole away to Brooklyn to a BBQ hosted by the amazingly smart (and cute) sexual civil rights lawyer Diana Adams, Esq., who collaborated with me on the Women Who Give Too Much teleclass series.

After a quick skip to Akron, Ohio, for a wedding, it was back on a plane to the Windy City for…

And so it begins…

It was my first trip to Chicago as a sex and relationship educator and, truth be told, I was a tad nervous…

At Chicago's The Pleasure Chest letting off a little nervous energy before my first Chicago workshop EVER: Dildos, Dental Dams and Deep Throating!

Dildos, Dental Dams, and Deep Throating has begun... As evidenced by the... proliferation of... Dildos! Double fisting, you say?

My patented Neo from The Matrix's "over the shoulder" move got a good laugh from the workshop participants... "Are you saying I can dodge dildos?" "No, Neo. I'm saying one day, you won't have to!"

Demonstrating how to properly place a dental dam on a store display (displaying a strap-on harness, btw) in my Dildos, Dental Dams and Deep Throating workshop...

Now it's a mask!... Demonstrating how to properly use a dental dam to the audinece at Chicago's The Pleasure Chest during Dildos, Dental Dams and Deep Throating!

Under NO circumstances should you try to deep throat THIS!... Showing off one of my favorite toys to NOT deep throat, NJoy's ever awesome "The Eleven!"

Day-2: Anal Pleasure for Beginners. Time to help folks put the "Us" in anus...

Describing how you can access the G-spot and P-Spot (the prostate) via anal pleasuring... Yes, that's an official latex "Belladonna Extreme Pussy and Ass" in my lap. How'd THAT get there?!?

I'd always dreamnt of working with Belladonna... I should have been more specific. (The Secret DVD warned me this might happen.)

Demonstraing a trick Nina Hartley likes to teach called the "door bell," which can create lots of exciting sensations without ever penetrating the anus... (Belladonna was kind enough to tirelessly hold her butt cheeks apart for me during the entire workshop!)

I love my job... Deep, hearthfelt thanks to the amazingly knowledgable staff at Chicago's The Pleasure Chest! See you in November!

I was very pleased with how well The Pleasure Chest gigs went. Thursday in Chicago was devoted to Relationship Coaching and Sex Ed Mentoring (and catching up on emails). Friday was devoted to prepping for the two and a half day long Foundations of Facilitation Weekend Training Intensive, which got kicked off by an awesome, 22-person Chicago Cuddle Party! White Sox and Cubs fans cuddling together! Unbelievable!

Potential Cuddle Party Facilitators and workshop leaders at Chicago's Foundation of Facilitation weekend intensive. After nearly 14 hours of intense but fun training (with several more hours to go), it's time to let off some steam by applying serious facilitator skills sets to none other than... a silly game of Itsy Bitsy Spider!

All work and no play... LET'S EAT! Lunch time at Foundations of Facilitation. (Many thanks to Roman, our chef, who prepared some of the yummiest FoF Training grub yet!)

The next upcoming Foundations of Facilitation Weekend Intensives in are in Toronto, Canada, and Washington, D.C. in September and October. Wanna come?

I flew back to Oakland, CA, and promptly slept twelve hours! Woke up at 6am, went for a run, and been at my desk ever since, making phone calls, updating the website, and cranking out the June newsletter before it officially turns into July…

And what a busy, event-full July it’s going to be… Better make myself some more coffee!!! Shall I pour you a cup?

IRON SLUT SEX EDUCATOR SHOWDOWN!…

ABOUT SHERI: Sheri Winston CNM, RN, BSN, LMT, is a medical professional, sexuality educator and author who is on a mission to transform our culture’s attitudes about sex.

Wholistic Sexuality Teacher and Counselor, Founder & Executive Director of the Center for the Intimate Arts, Sheri’s journey began when she became a licensed massage therapist in 1980. She soon discovered that she felt called to become a midwife and began assisting and apprenticing at home births. That was rapidly followed by becoming a childbirth educator and doula (someone who provides professional labor support). In order to become a legal midwife, she attended nursing school and graduated valedictorian, summa cum laude, receiving her BSN (Bachelor’s degree in Science of Nursing) and becoming a RN (registered nurse). Finally, she attended midwifery school for her graduate education, becoming a certified nurse-midwife and gynecology nurse-practitioner.

Sheri has always been a teacher. During her first two decades of clinical practice, Sheri Winston also taught Childbirth Education & WomanCraft, classes on pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and women’s health issues.* A decade ago, in response to a growing awareness of the need for accurate, comprehensive, accessible and empowering information about sex, she expanded into sexuality education and began development of what has become her major work, the Wholistic Sexuality Curriculum.

Sheri is now retired from clinical practice to focus full time on teaching Workshops and Counseling through the Center for the Intimate Arts. She also lectures and makes appearances around the country to talk about sex and Wholistic Sexuality. Sheri believes her twenty years in women’s health care have given her an excellent foundation for sexuality education and counseling, and formed her unique approach.  She has also studied a wide variety of holistic healing modalities including integral health, herbalism, energy healing, psychological and emotional healing, women’s health, and many hands-on healing techniques.

She feels that life is for learning and believes that her current calling is to help transform our culture into one that celebrates sex as our vital life force, as a source of ecstasy, and as the glue and lubricant of delicious intimate relationships. She invites you to make your own journey to empowering yourself with information about your body, your potential and about Wholistic Sexuality!
