about this workshop
We live in a sexually illiterate society. There is little to no permission to examine openly our sexuality in terms of orientation, behavior and fantasies. Most people, gay and straight alike, do not know if their sexual fantasies and/or sexual acts are healthy versus unhealthy. While gay men are
 more inclined to act out their sexual desires and fantasies more openly than their heterosexual counterparts, there still lies confusion as to what is positive and self-affirming and what is not.
There is also confusion about what is sex, what is love and what is intimacy. This workshop will explore the definitions of each of these and
how to integrate them all together for gay men. Much of our culture as gay men, as well as for our heterosexual counterparts, are confused
about how to make this integration. There is also confusion about how to have healthy sex, love and intimacy without having to have all of
them combined. This workshop will help clarify all of this.
-
How do you define sex?
-
What is healthy versus unhealthy sex?
-
Do you understand the secret logic of your sexual fantasies?
-
What is your sexual shadow?
-
Are you sexually addicted, compulsive or just have a large sexual appetite?
-
Do you carry sexual shame?
-
How do you feel about your body?
-
Do you want to improve your sex life?
-
Are you getting the love you want in your relationship?
-
Are you keeping the love you find when you think you found Mr. Right?
-
What is your definition of love?
-
What is your definition of intimacy?
The
goal of this workshop is to learn more about yourself as
a gay man, develop tools and practices to live in
integrity and be accountable, and to be able to identify
your needs and communicate them effectively without your
reactive mind getting in your way. It will also help you
to develop strong relationships (both intimate and
non-intimate).
These are just some of the questions we will be examining at the upcoming workshop. The workshop will include guided imagery, experiential exercises, communication exercises and lectures.
We will explore sexual behavior and fantasies with understanding, compassion, and without judgment.
This workshop is based on the article from the magazine, “In The Family”,
The Men In The Mirror: Understanding Gay Men and Their
Porn, Summer, 2002 by Joe Kort.
