[sws_yellow_box box_size=”100″] Porn Smart! A Free Class About Understanding & Enjoying Porn [/sws_yellow_box]
Porn often brings up strong feelings and lots of questions.
“Is watching porn bad for me?”
“Why do I like the kind of porn I like?”
“If my partner watches porn, does that mean they aren’t attracted to me anymore?”
This lecture-style class covers basic information about porn, common concerns, and ways to create your own definition of healthy porn use for you and your relationships. Participants will explore how to develop a relationship with porn that has a positive effect on their sexual self and their relationships.
This event is free!
ASL interpretation available with 72 hours notice.
Everyone is welcome at The Smitten Kitten. This event is open to people of all genders, sexual orientations and relationships styles. Our space is accessible for people using mobility devices. Seating is limited, so please arrive early to guarantee admission!
