Devote an entire day to upping your erotic touch & intimacy skills (giving AND receiving!) so you can say goodbye to bedroom insecurities and hello to a new YOU filled with self-confidence and Jedi-level abilities. This special workshop is for all genders, all experience levels and sexual orientations, and includes LIVE demonstrations and time for you to practice.

Join sex and relationship educators Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com and Wilrieke Sophia of Exploring Deeper for a unique, day-long practicum filled with humorous, down-to-earth, Show-N-Tell-N-Then-Practice sex education. Let Wilrieke and Reid teach and demonstrate their best teachings and favorite techniques for creating AND receiving sensual and sexual pleasure, then let them support you and your partner while you have time and space to TRY YOUR NEW SKILLS ON EACH OTHER!*

Yep. You read that correctly. This workshop will include explicit demonstrations where you get to watch and ask questions, and then you will have the opportunity to try out and practice with your partner(s).*

* This is not a couples class per se. The practicum experience is optional, never mandatory. You can buy your ticket with one or two others. This way you already know people that you may potentially practice with. You can also look for practice partners at the event itself (we will support that process). We do not guarantee you a practice partner – in such case, you are welcome to witness or practice on your own body.

Schedule for the Day:
Morning Session (11.00-14.00) – Energetic Sex, Kriyas, and Orgasms
Lunch Break (14.00-15.00) – Bring your own lunch/semi-pot luck style
Afternoon Session (15.00-18.00) – Explicit Demos + Play/Research and Exploration

MORNING SESSION – Energetic Sex, Kriyas, and Orgasms
We’ll begin our journey by expanding your awareness and understanding of how to connect, play, and augment your erotic energy (and the energy of those you frolic with!)…
Let Wilrieke and Reid show you how playing with sexual energy can help you and your lovers reach heightened states of arousal and connection with your clothes on!

Learn how accessing your pelvic floor muscles through pressure, pushing, pulling, and squeezing can turbocharge your abilities to drop into your energetic body (and help your lovers drop into theirs).

Let us introduce you to Resonance Play and Reid’s “Chakrahs within Chakrahs” concepts. Through live demos and invitations to test out techniques on yourself and your partner(s), deepen your experiences with Kriyas and energetic orgasms.

Expand beyond the limiting concepts of binary masculine/feminine polarity and start seeing erotic connection as the color wheel that it can be so you can play with all of the crayons in the crayon box of pleasure and fulfillment!

While we will be exploring energetic sex and you will be invited to participate in exercises at your own comfort level, the morning session will be fully clothed, giving the group time to connect, drop in, and build a safer container for the afternoon’s more explicit demonstrations and practice sessions. With both sessions, voyeurism is participation and you are invited to adjust exercises so that they work for you, change your mind at anytime, and opt-out as you please.

AFTERNOON SESSION – Explicit Demos + Play/Research and Exploration
We will continue our journey, increasing the heat and building upon what we’ve already covered, first with Wilrieke and Reid teaching and demonstrating explicit techniques. This will be Show ‘N Tell at it’s more fun and adult! Demonstrations will include nudity, pleasure, and laughter. Demonstrations will also include time for you to ask questions and get your questions answered.

After Show ‘N Tell, Reid and Wilrieke will open up the rest of the afternoon for the “Then Try” portion of the workshop title. This will be a “dojo-style,” research and development session where YOU and your classmates get to partner up and pick what techniques you’d like to practice, explore, and play with. Consent, respect, and non-pressured negotiation are mandatory. This will be time to develop your new skills with willing partners while getting support from us. Again, we are not promising you partners to practice with. Voyerism is participation as is changing your mind or opting out. You are also not required to practice only as a couple.

Demonstrations we are already planning to cover:
– Giving and Receiving Cunnilingus – from slow and gentle to building up arousal and surfing heightened states of pleasure
– Vulva/Vagina Fingering Techniques + Using Toys
– Oral and Hand Sex Techniques for Flaccid Penis Pleasuring!
– Blowjobs & Deepthroating (for all genders because strapons are fun, too!)
– Pegging, Prostate Massage, and G-Spot Pleasuring from the Rear
– Positions, Communication Techniques, and Safer Sex Approaches for All of the Above…
– Requests for Demonstrations – What else would you like to see us demonstrate? They’re not promising to take all requests, but if there is time, curiosity, and desire… Who knows what you could learn! 😉

“Thank you so much for the class, Reid! I tried out my new knowledge out on my partner and WOW. Just wow. He loved it. Then it was my turn and OHMAIGAD WOW. Thaaaaank you!”

ABOUT REID MIHALKO (USA)
As seen on NETFLIX’ “Chelsea Does…” alongside Chelsea Handler, Reid Mihalko (he/him) of ReidAboutSex.com is an internationally known sex and relationship educator helping adults become the change they want to see in the bedroom by creating more self-esteem, self-confidence, and greater health and accountability in their relationships and sex lives. Reid uses an inspiring mixture of humor, personal stories, keen insight, and comprehensive sexual health information to change the lives of his audiences and clients.

In early 2018, some very brave people came forward during #MeToo sharing harms that Reid had caused them. Reid stepped down from teaching and initiated a restorative justice-based accountability process to address his misconduct and make amends if and where possible. The formal, year-long process along with Reid’s apology and resources were shared publicly and can be found at TinyURL.com/reidaccountability. Going forward, Reid’s projects and appearances will include pointing people towards resources and experts on restorative and transformative justice-based accountability processes.

Reid’s workshops and college lectures have been attended by over 60,000 people from all over the globe. His Youtube videos have been viewed over 5 million times. He has appeared in media such as Oprah’s Our America With Lisa Ling on OWN, NETFLIX, Montel, Dr. Phil’s The Doctors on CBS, Bravo’s Miss Advised, Fox News, in Newsweek, Seventeen, GQ, The Washington Post, and in thirteen countries and at least seven languages.
Reid is also founder of Sex Geek Summer Camp, Sex Geek Conservatory, and Sex Geek School for Gifted Sex Geeks, which help sex educators learn valuable business skills that allow them to reach more people with greater ease, transform more lives, and make a better living as sexperts.
