Whatever you call it (or do not call it), it falls
outside of the parameters of one-on-one romantic/sexual partnership. Maybe you
watched "Polyamory: Married and Dating". Maybe you have dreamed about
it ever since you had two boyfriends when you were six years old. Maybe you
look at the statistics on cheating and do not want to be a part of them, or you
know you are just not up for being with one person (or sex/gender) for the rest
of your life. Or, perhaps you already tried it and want to know how to heal the
whiplash of a challenging experience and get back in the driver’s seat.
Please join us -- Paget and Philippe -- on May 5 as we
guide you through the many baby steps towards opening your relationship so you
can do it gracefully and safely. We have been together for over 10 years, and
started off open. As we crashed, burned, and floundered through the first 8
years of opening our relationship, we learned a LOT. Our philosophy is: Learn
from OUR mistakes, so you do not have to make them yourself.
What we will cover:
* What is open/poly/non-mono you?
* Why is it for you? What is in it for you?
* What fantasies do you have about this lifestyle?
* What peak sexual/emotional experiences have you had
around this lifestyle?
* Do you want to do it together as a unit (with other
close lover(s)) or separately?
* Do you want to date friends or strangers?
* Do you want to do it as long term or short term
relationships? Or friends with benefits? Or one night stands?
* How much can you and do you want to share with your
other lovers?
* In what ways do you want to connect lovers? (flirty,
sensual, sexual (no fluids), sexual (fluids), etc.)
* Where are you now and where do you want to be?
* What are the baby steps that will get you closer?
How the evening will go:
A 2-3h experiential connected conversational workshop
followed by an optional 1-2h period of practice/play/conversation with others
in the class.
Cost: Cost: $50/couple, $30/single
