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.

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!

Reid’s Tantra for Beginners and the first Hands-On Energetic Sex 2-Day Intensive went so well, that he’s running it again, July 1oth and 11th in Santa Monica…

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.

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

Register ASAP.

Date: Saturday and Sunday, July 10th and 11th, 2010
Time: Saturday time: 1-5, Sunday time: 1-5pm
Location: Shiatsu Massage School of Santa Monica
2309 Main Street
Santa Monica CA 90405
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.

Feel a little intimidate or embarrassed by the idea of adult toys? Do you think deep throating is impossible to learn? Perhaps your asking yourself, “Dental dams? What the heck are dental dams!?”

That was, until now…

Time: 8-10pm Pacific
Cost: FREE! – Psssst… July is also “Buy 1 vibrator, get the 2nd half off” at The Pleasure Chest!

• How to deep throat and how to teach your lovers!
• Great tips for oral sex on men and women
• The basics of safer sex and how to negotiate safer sex with ease

If you (or your partners) think “prophylactic” is the name of a Star Wars character, get your butt to this workshop!

If you want a dildo or want to upgrade on the one you already have, if you don’t have a clue where to start or which one is right for you or your lover… If you think that deep throating is only for porn stars or that dental dams are just for the dentist’s office… Then Reid’s Dilods, Dental Dams and Deep Throating is for you!

This is a two-hour, co-ed workshop for all sexual orientations, identities, and relationship statuses. This workshop includes some live, fully-clothed demonstrations, explicit language and lots of laughter. Like all of Reid’s R-rated workshops: No participation or nudity required by participants.

Dr. Charles Glickman and Dr. Carol Queen invited me to chime in on a conversation happening on the Good Vibrations blog about how today’s Sex-Positive Movement might be creating it’s own form of Sex-Negativism… Hmmmmm…

Sex-Positivity Round Robin: The Sexual-rati, Role Modeling, and Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion by Reid Mihalko

“It ain’t easy being this easy,” is a phrase that recently shot across the Twitter-sphere. I uttered this bumper sticker-worthy quip to a roomful of sex and tech geeks at the 3rd annual Sex 2.0 conference (a conference focusing on the intersection of social media, feminism, and sexuality). True to the nature of the conference, my peers laughed and nodded in sex-positive approval as they blasted the sound bite across the Interwebs.

I identify as a sex-positive slut. My preferred way of getting to know someone is through sensuality and sexuality (Which, btw, is my definition of “slut”). I am also the person who created the non-sexual, boundary and intimacy workshop/social event known as Cuddle Party, the media darling that launched my career when it blew up in the news in 2004.

You might be asking yourself, eyebrow raised and head tilted sideways, “How does a slut create a non-sexual workshop?” The irony isn’t lost on me, either. My journey from Cuddle Party creator to Show-N-Tell sex educator illustrates a lot of what the comment which kicked-off this thread of essays points at: a socio-sexual illustration of Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion – To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.

Reid with the legendary feminist, author, and sex geek Dr. Carol Queen

I think the struggle that anyone goes through to discover and claim or reclaim their sexual expression produces a Newton-esque effect: the freedom released in that reclamation must be defended and protected, which is a less-than-expansive reaction. And like Dr. Queen and Dr. Glickman have expressed so eloquently, there isn’t a whole lot of role modeling, or at least hasn’t been till now, for how to combat the human tendency to reactively reduce life into a see-saw: Two sides. Pick one.

Sharing sensuality with others is a lot of work. [...]
