A little more than a slap and a tickle

This two-hour workshop will explore the increase in erotic sensation to be found in anything from a slap and a tickle to the kiss of a cane on your bottom (and the adrenaline high that follows). There are ways to incorporate these things into your sex play that are both safe and sexy. We will talk about how to explore this type of sensation play safely and with clear communication between you and your partner.

Jennifer will demonstrate with an array of toys she will bring. Questions and audience participation make this a fun and interactive class.

A pleasure-seeker's guide to kinky Vancouver

You know that you're ready to play. You want to find an event somewhere in this city where you'll meet other kinky connaisseurs and have an exciting time, but you have no idea where to go or to even where to look for the information. …Or perhaps you already know where to go, but you don't know what to expect once you arrive. Do you know what to wear to pass the dress code of these events? Once in the door, are there any House or Venue Rules that keep you safe?

Vancouver is a kinky city full of sex events, play parties, swing clubs/groups, fetish nights, and many other sensual attractions. We will spend time talking about some basic language that is used in these communities, then discuss local resources for educational, play, and social opportunities.

There is no requirement to attend this workshop with someone else; attend alone or with a friend or partner.

Ask Jennifer

Join Jennifer in this informal discussion where she'll answer your burning sex and sexuality questions. Have you ever wanted to hire her privately and been unable to? This is your chance to to have that sit-down sex talk you've been wanting to have for a long, long time.

This is an opportunity for you to learn about types of sexual activities you may find fascinating but know little about. Ask pointed questions about a technique of interest to you, or inquire about the safety considerations of another. Interested to know why some people find something kinky when others consider it part of their usual sex play?

If you plan on attending the class and are on the shy side, feel free to e-mail Jennifer your questions in advance and she'll ensure that they get included in the class.

Between our legs: Masturbation for women (a women-only class)

There is more to masturbating than making sure that an orgasm happens—like making sure that toes curl, nipples get attention, minds are stimulated, and all other senses are being indulged. Successful masturbation is masturbation that you enjoy and that gets you off.

As women we have the power to do all of this to ourselves. Join Jennifer for a light, informative, and honest talk about self-loving and all the add-ons that you can bring to your solo sex play for added pleasure.

Bi-curious? Where to start for girls who want to date girls (a women-only class)

Making the move from bi-curious to bisexual can be a tough one. This workshop will cover the basics on dating for bisexual women. Tips on finding the right woman and on what to do when you find one will be among the things we discuss. We will cover some tricks for writing that personal ad or finding the events and places to meet other bi women.

We will also discuss etiquette used when dating women…because so many of us are used to dating only men. Often, bisexual women have male partners, and discussing when or even whether they are included in your bisexual experiences will also be covered.

Bottoming skills: Learning how to bottom from a bottom

Do you want to give yourself up to someone in an erotic sense? Do you want to surrender to a partner's wishes, orders, or demands? Learn how to fly in rope bondage, S/M, or roleplay?

You'd like to learn some skills as a bottom, then? Excellent! Now let's make you a better play partner…or perhaps a more sought-after one.

Whether you're looking for insights on bottoming for your first or hundredth time, this class will offer you new ways to look at how you present yourself both for play and to partners. Join Jennifer as she shares with you the process of making your bottoming fantasies become sexy realities. Learn to bottom from this bottom as we discuss the journey of bottoming from the mental self-recognition of our desires to presenting oneself for play to a top.

A good top is critical to a good bottoming experience, and we'll spend some time talking about what makes one. For some, the journey of bottoming flows into submission and surrender over an evening or a long relationship, while for others, it becomes a way of life. Safewords, S/M play, negotiation skills, conditioning of erotic responses, and many other needed topics for bottoms will be addressed while still leaving time for Q&A at the end.

Butt sex and anal pleasure

Fear not, anal sex advice is here in a practical, fun class to prepare you for the experience of maximum anal pleasure. Whether you want to dive in deep or be the one to bend over, this class will discuss anal hygiene and anatomy, positions for play, ideas for seducing our lover to enjoy this treat, and products to enhance anal pleasure and orgasms. We will also cover ways in which you can slowly add butt play into your regular sexual repertoire. The role of oral-anal stimulation, finger play, butt plugs, and finally the cock for those slow to warm to the idea of butt sex will be discussed as a journey.

Bring your questions and as a group we'll discuss our collective experiences with this powerful form of intimacy.

Please bring a notebook and pen to class.

Cock sucking: The blow job, hand job class (also called ORAL: On him)

Giving great head is an erotic activity that takes practice, time and the belief that a job worth doing is worth doing really, really well. Jennifer will spend the evening demonstrating oral sex techniques that you too will be able to master by night's end.

This class will cover basic anatomy, hygiene and preparing for blow jobs, a blow job, and a full on hand job along with stroking and sucking techniques for the beginner cocksucker to the more advanced fellatio aficionado, who also will learn deep throat skills and gagging help. There will be tips on toys, lube, positions, and how to set the mood.

A fantastic class. Fun and informative to listen to, even better if you choose to practice along on aids that will be provided.

Please bring a notebook and pen to class.

Coming out of the closet

A discussion between all of us who have ever had to or are wrestling with the idea of coming out of the closet, either to someone in particular or to the world in general, in terms of how we identify ourselves—gender, whom or how many we love, or our chosen expressions of sexuality, sex and passion. Join in and lend this conversation your own thoughts and experiences. Hear others' stories and challenges, and share your own triumphs and tribulations in a supportive environment.

Erotic wax and ice play—a hands-on class

Temperature is probably the most fascinating sensation to incorporate into erotic play. You can use temperature to focus the attention of your partner on erogenous zones all over their body; to create a sense of well-being or extreme excitement.

This workshop will cover how to use temperature and incorporate both hot and cold sensations into your sex play. The tools will include hot wax, ice, and chilled metal items. There will be a live demonstration followed by an interactive portion in which everyone will get to practice with the sensations taught in the class.

Nudity or semi nudity is required.

Extended teasing and the art of foreplay

Extended teasing and the art of foreplay are about learning to enjoy the range of sensual delights that you can either accept or give to your partner—time together that may not be orgasm focused, but sensually based. From the anticipation of the event, arriving and being welcomed, sliding into our partner's safe embrace, and slipping into a frame of mind to know pleasure. Teasing to create a strong itch and building sexual energy up high, then decreasing it slowly at will, over and over, will have your partner peaking on the verge of orgasm for an extended period. Sometimes it's fun to give a genital focused orgasm while at other times allowing them to hover for prolonged periods can create joyous feelings of endorphins, intimacy, deep trust and whole body orgasms that will leave both of you floating for days.

Fetish basics

Fetish: Something that arouses sexual desire and it is not thought to be normal (of, or relating to, prevailing norms). In our society, the word fetish has taken on a broader meaning to also include people and types of activities. Many people eroticize types of dress, body parts, or even inanimate objects. Rope bound tight, garters and stockings, shoes, latex, rubber, leather, and foot-play are a few of the most common items and activities that people use for sexual gratification.

This workshop will introduce Vancouver resources for many common fetishes and put people on the right track to locating more esoteric resources for the less common or less out communities. We will also point out the ties between the fetish community and communities built around other forms of sexual expression such as BDSM, polyamory, and swinging.

Finding and stimulating the G-spot, and female ejaculation

The class for women who want to learn how to squirt and how to make it happen often.

Are you a squirter or gusher, or aspiring to be? Want to learn to stimulate your own G-spot or perhaps help your lady enjoy hers? This is the class for you. Join Jennifer and one of her lovely woman friends for a hands-in demonstration on techniques to please for G-spot stimulation and ejaculation potential.

When the G-spot is stroked, there is often a sensation or urge to urinate. By learning techniques to both understand then move beyond this urge many women can experience heightened arousal and for others ejaculation becomes possible.

You'll learn clitoral and G-spot anatomy from both an internal and external view. Choosing a toy or your own hands? Getting you both ready for the often transformative experience. You will get tips that are tried, tested and easy to grasp so you can finally stroke your own G-spot or that of your partner.

Please bring a notebook and pen to class.

Other topics such as pacing, leading, and following will be included, as well as how to let your partner know if a fantasy is or isn't working.

Fantasy players need to be reminded that the largest sex organ is between your ears—so be prepared to learn about effective commmunication.

There is no requirement to attend this workshop with someone else; attend alone or with a friend or partner.

For parents: Sex is a lifelong conversation

Talking about sex and sexuality isn't easy for the parents who wait until the teenaged years. From the moment your child is born they are bombarded with ideas and images of sex, many of which have values attached to them that you may not share or embrace. To have your voice heard you must begin to speak to your child about this wonderful subject before media, peers and other influences infiltrate your child's mind.

Children are constantly questioning not only what you as their parents model but also what they see in the world. Embracing our children's curiosity for honest information in a shame free environment can feel intimidating for some parents. This workshop will give you the tools to empower your children with the information that we may have wished we had as youths.

Do not leave your children to fumble around on their own in the dark! Attend this class and we will share our collective experiences as kinksters, polyamorous lovers, swingers, ethical non-monogamists, gender-queers, gender benders, gays, lesbians, and sex positive adults.

Liquid latex—an interactive class

Is it art? Clothing? A fetish? Liquid latex, painted as a single layer coating, adheres to your body like a second skin. Applied many layers over it becomes a top, thong, bold words written across your chest, or perhaps a cat suit or hot shorts for your night at the club or in the bedroom!

Navigating multi-partnered relationships and/or polyamory

Loving, dating or playing with more than one person—perhaps two, three, or even double digits. Is it possible to date more than one person and be ethical?

Being multi-partnered has obvious challenges and some not-so-obvious life obstacles that we'll discuss as a class.

Meeting new prospective partners? Getting together with someone you've been talking to on the computer and via phone and web cam? Met someone new in the local fetish or S/M scene?

Whether private or public, you need to be safe in your wild, rough, edgy, kinky sex life.
