Inaugural Melbourne Really Good Sex Festival
1-3 April 2017 @ Pulse Brunswick
Workshops
Focussing on the senses, being blindfolded radically alters the notion of time and space, leading to the source of art: the intelligence of the body. If you are nervous, this is the ideal way to gently dip into the festival.
Many people think rope is just something you use to tie someone to a bedpost, but it can be much more. The process of tying and being tied can provide you with exquisite sensual and erotic experiences.
In this workshop, Mynx and Kintamar we will explore the eroticism of the feet. They will begin with a foot washing ritual and then participants will be free to explore with their chosen partners.
In this clothing optional workshop we will experience what it is to slide over each other with nuru massage oil.
Life drawing often propounds a notion that the model is an object of art, void of sexuality. At EroticART we want to celebrate sexuality, see the body in its full sexual power and allow this energy exchange to enhance a creative experience as the artists and as the models. The atmosphere will be sexy, with sensual music, erotica readings and some mulled wine to share.
Geared to those who are new to polyamorous and open relationships, or who are considering opening their lives to a multiplicity of relationships, this lecture/discussion will cover some of the basic tenets of sluthood — with special attention to the always-challenging issue of boundaries.
Many people within the kink world believe that you must choose a given role on one side or the other: top or bottom; dominant or submissive. If you don’t, you are considered not to know what you really want. There is, however, another school of thought that argues that one should cultivate the ability to enjoy all sides. From this point of view, growth consists not so much in going ever more deeply into a role that would somehow represent one’s true self, but in one’s openness to all the possibilities one can dream of.
Going to festivals and workshops to enliven your sex life is a fun and valuable experience, but it can also bring up your stuff! As a couple, how do you navigate this sensitive terrain? This workshop will teach you how to effectively handle it when either one of you gets very triggered.
Heavy restraint is the ultimate surrender. Nothing to do, nowhere to go, but venture into one's own consciousness via sensory deprivation contrasting with the inventiveness of layered and dynamic sensory stimulation.
Fun little activities that have made a lasting difference to lots of sex-lives.
The workshop is mostly practical. Exercises are carefully designed to suit you whatever mood you're in, and give you a very grounded experience of pro-actively engaging with your relationship to your body and sexuality.
You can either bring a partner, or be randomly paired for each exercise.
Much more then simply a series of ‘tricks’, in this workshop we’ll be exploring how to connect at a deeper level with the phallus. What is arising in you as the pleasurer? What is your relationship with your partner during fellatio? How do you engage in a way that is deeply pleasurable for you and the receiver?
Role-play offers a way to explore erotic fantasies that can be playful, liberating, revealing, and sometimes intense. They're a powerful way to get away from established patterns and discover new aspects of yourself and your sexuality.
This workshop will be an experiential exploration of what it feels like to be sexual with a disability.
This workshop works with elements from Authentic Movement, Contact Improvisation and Family Constellation. It begins with exercises about self-perception and perception of others, as well as attentiveness, presence and authenticity. In this way a space of sensitivity, trust and empathy is created. Interest and attraction, as well as reservation and aversion will be explored to establish clear communication and the protection of individual limits.
The village is a play structure where festival participants are invited to propose a 'shop' where passersby may come to have a sensory, erotic or challenging experience. 'Shops' can range from the gentle and healing (such laughing salon, erotic massage, dance lessons, nude yoga) to the more demanding (such as Spanking, Shibari Flying, Sensory Derivation, Fear rituals, Electric Stimulation, Humiliation to be King or Queen, Smut Making, etc. ). The options are limited only by your imagination.
All-Inclusive Ticket: $349
In this workshop, we use a variety of practices to heal shame, fear and anxiety about your body. Deeply embody and connect with your inner lover, enjoy new realms of pleasure in your body.
