Trans Sex for Trans and Sexy

Come to talk about bodies, language, behaviors, and desires (and coming!) - all presented with trans*, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming people in mind. Our communities have particular concerns, as well as special opportunities for fun and frolic, that are often left out of mainstream Sex Ed. We'll talk about what can be adapted for our bodies (how /do/ you safely rubber up a transguy's dicklet?) and how to do it (have you been looking for the secrets to making a double-dong work with any combo of holes? We have them...) Here's a chance to learn about the care, feeding, and delight of your tingly bits (and/or those of your partner) in a safe and trans-positive environment. This class is for trans*, genderqueer, and gender non-conforming people and our partners only, and certainly does recognize that T/GQ/GNC people can be partners of T/GQ/GNC people (double your pleasure, double your fun!).
