Liquid Love: Bodygliding with Coconut Oil (Online edition)

In this  workshop we will experience what it is to slide over, around and on top of each other with massage oil. Liquid Love is a collective experience exploring the sensuality of flowing skin to skin contact. We will begin with dry massage in small groups with your chosen partner or partners. And then once the warm, fine, neutral oil is on your skin, you will have the option of moving in a sea together with others.

We want to connect with our community during this very special time. What place does eroticism have for us today? How are we coping with what life is throwing at us? We invite you to come to a zoom group of listening, sharing and support. There will also be some energetic and breathing exercises to move our erotic energy. No advice will be given without it being specifically requested. The group is between 60-90 minutes once a week. There is a maximum of 6 participants. The enrolment fee is by donation. (Recommended donation is $25 or $10 if you are low income). Prior enrolment is required to receive the zoom link.  Book Now so as not to miss out.

Many men, myself included, get their emotional support from the women their lives. Now is a great time for us to learn new ways to support one another. There is no shame if you are having difficulties at this very challenging time. Our next meeting is happening next Thursday. Feel welcome to come along:

We welcome men of all ages, abilities, sexual orientations, as well as trans-men.

Peter Banki, Ph.D founded Erotic Living (previously known as the School of Really Good Sex) in 2015. Prior to that he curated Xplore - Festival of the Art of Lust in Sydney from 2011-2013. He says: “When you are intimate with someone, you witness them at their most open and vulnerable, whatever their role happens to be. Much more than their skills or competence, it’s their being that is exciting.

Peter has an extensive background in Iyengar yoga, dance and the martial arts (Capoeira Angola). His somatic and movement practice forms the basis of his work in the sphere of eroticism.

Peter has also been a scholar and teacher of European philosophy and literature for much of his adult life. Philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Georges Bataille, Anne Dufourmantelle, Avital Ronell and Jean-Luc Nancy have most inspired him in his thinking about sexuality and eroticism. He holds a Ph.D in German studies from New York University (September, 2009). His book The Forgiveness To Come:  the Holocaust and the Hyper-Ethical  came out recently with Fordham University Press. Articles about Peter's work on The Festival of Really Good Sex have been featured in many news outlets, including The GuardianArcher MagazineABC Radio National and news.com. He has also been interviewed about the Festival of Death and Dying, which he also founded and directs, on ABC Radio and the Sydney Morning Herald. His work on apology and forgiveness has been featured on 2SER and on the philosophers’ zone on ABC Radio National.

Weekly Online Support Group for Women and Queers (led by Sarah Roffey)

How are we coping with what life is currently throwing at us?  How can erotic living help? Now is a great time for us to learn new ways to support one another. There is no shame if you are having difficulties at this very challenging time.

We invite you to come to a zoom group of listening, sharing and support. There will also be some energetic and breathing exercises to move our erotic energy. No advice will be given without it being specifically requested. The group is between 60-90 minutes once a week. There is a maximum of 6 participants. The enrolment fee is by donation. (Recommended donation is $25 or $10 if you are low income). Prior enrolment is required to receive the zoom link.  Book Now so as not to miss out.

We welcome you to come if you identify either as a woman or as queer. For us “queer” describes the full LGBTQIA+ spectrum and therefore any person who self-identifies as not cis-gendered and/or not heterosexual. For us “woman” describes any person who identifies and lives as such. For us “men” describes any person who identifies and lives as such. All categories, “queer”, “women” and “men” can overlap but do not necessarily have to.

Time: Monday, April 20, 7pm (GMT + 11, Canberra, Melbourne Sydney time)

Location: Online (Zoom)

A zoom link will be sent to you on enrolment.

The group will be led by Sarah Roffey.

Sarah Roffey has been a member of Erotic Living since 2011. She says that it has given her opportunities especially to push herself out of her comfort zone, which for her has less to do with sexuality and more to do with confronting shyness: talking to people, being in front of people and running workshops.

She has qualifications in Gender and Cultural Studies and Social work. She is one of the founders of OFF THE WALL INC and also one of the founders and facilitators of Sydney’s Critical Perspectives on Madness Reading Group. She has experience facilitating therapeutic and educational groups and workshops, including on sex and madness. She is informed in her work by her own experiences of distress and other states of mind and is interested in challenging dominant approaches to what is often termed 'mental illness'. Sarah is interested in the intersections between the body, writing, literature, erotica, sexuality, madness and the exploration of diverse experiences.
