Upcoming Teaching and Speaking Dates

Okay folks, I’ve got a whole lot of fun stuff planned for this summer and I’d love to see you for some of it. I’ll be teaching, speaking and doing a little traveling with one of my favorite fellow educators. to get the skinny on the what, when and where, read on!

In August I head to Washington DC for the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit where I, along with Crista Anne and Stephen Biggs will be speaking on Sex & Depression. My stay at Woodhull is being sponsored by the wonderful folks at Doxy!

From Woodhull I hit the road with the fabulous Elle Chase– one of my favorite sex educators and the force behind Smut For Smarties and Lady Cheeky. Elle and I are hitting NYC where we are doing back to back FREE classes at the Pleasure Chest!

Finally Elle and I will be teaming up for our first-ever class together! We’ll be busting sexual myths, sipping champagne and answering all sorts of questions- all at a new shop that I’m so excited to come see, Please!
