Ken and I are super excited to have sex and relationship expert, Reid Mihalko, at The Studio on Monday, March 4th!
When I first heard about Reid’s Energetic Sex for Pragmatists class not only did I want to take it, I wished I could make it available to the Chicago community too— my wish came true! I‘ve always been interested in tantric principles and energy work but find most learning resources a bit too “new agey” for my taste. Because of this I’ve steered clear of any class that mentions “chakras,” over-uses the phrase “paradigm shift,” or is otherwise heavily rooted in New Age Spirituality.
If this describes you too, we’ve got your back. Join us on Monday 3/4 for some no-nonsense instruction that will help you ramp up and harness your sexual energy.
If you haven’t attended one of Reid’s Mihalko’s classes before you’re in for a real treat. He’s wicked smart and hilariously funny. Reid is known worldwide for his TV appearances, workshops, university lectures and a whole lot more. In other words, he’s kind of a big deal! You can learn more about Reid HERE
Energetic Sex for Pragmatists Class Description:
Explore Kundalini, the “Tantric Twitchies” and Vibrational Luvin’ Without the Woo-Woo! (with live Demos, too)
Remember that Cosmo magazine article that talked about how Tantra and breathing could give you explosive orgasms? How about the urban legend about Sting having sex for eight hour stints?
Regardless of your tolerance for words like “chakras” and “yoni,” there is a non New Agey way to understanding and incorporating ecstatic experiences into your bedroom routine that is fun, easy, and explosive.
If you or a lover have ever experienced post-orgasmic spasms or “twitches” after lovemaking, or feelings of heat and tension in your lower back, hands, neck or throat… You might be more energetic in your sex life than you think! And if you’ve never experienced those things but would like to, you might be pleasantly surprised how easily energetic sex is to grasp and play with.

Join sex and relationship expert Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com for an evening of frank, fun, and electrifying learning targeted for folks who aren’t necessarily New Agey.
Reid promises to drop the woo-woo and leave his Sandskrit-to-English dictionary at home! And, for those of you who say Namasté instead of “thank you,” Reid’s got you covered, too!
You will be introduced to:
- Reid’s particular views on how sexual energy “behaves” and how it “works,” as well as ways you can begin accessing more energetic awareness in the bedroom
- What Kriyas (“the twitchys”) can look like and what to do when you or a lover experiences them
- Three possible approaches for engaging sexual energy and expanding it when exploring energetic sex with a partner or solo with yourself
- What playing a singing saw has to do with energetic sex and expanding your lovemaking
- Simple breathing and “presence” techniques to build up energetic awareness
- How to use “pressure play” and where so you can help unlock and activate points on your lover’s body to augment energetic experiences during love making
- A few advance tips and tricks that will make you smile and your partner moan regardless of whether “the twitchys” happen or not!
Whatever your level of experience with sex that seems to be “more than just sex,” Reid’s humorous and informative instruction, sex education, and live demonstrations on this esoteric (and yet more common than you think) realm of energetic sex is not to be missed!

Performer Bios:
– While Sexual Folklorist Dixie De La Tour has been telling true, dirty stories for ages, it was in early 2007 that she founded Bawdy Storytelling, the Nation’s original sex and storytelling series. She was looking to encourage real connections in the San Francisco sexual underground, and, as the song goes, “Up from the ground came a bubbling crude…” Internationally known as the ‘Grande Dame of Dirty Storytelling,” Dixie has taken Bawdy from an industrial loft in the Bay Area to a multi-city live storytelling event that welcomes true stories from any and all communities (LGBTQIA, kink, polyamory, swingers, vanilla, and many more). Dixie and Bawdy Storytelling have been praised by press both big and small; She has been lauded by Master Storyteller Mike Daisey as a “masterful emcee, and her show is everything that works for storytelling—she creates a warm, safe space in which stories can bloom with dark hilarity, salacious textures, and moments of deep connection.” Dixie has hosted and curated Bawdy Storytelling events at Yale Sex Week, the Bondage Awards, CatalystCon Sexuality Conference, Dark Odyssey, FetFest, and more, as well as her home turf of the Bawdy Mainstage and BawdySlam shows. She works with each storyteller, crafting and curating, to make sure that the evening is a cohesive whole. She also leads storytelling workshops where would be storytellers can hone their craft (while arousing their audience). In her spare time, Dixie can be found causing trouble in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Portland, and any other major city where literate perverts gather to tell dirty stories.
– Sunny Megatron is a sex and BDSM educator, pleasure advocate, and award winning sex blogging superhero. She’s also the host & executive producer of Showtime’s Sex with Sunny Megatron. She has been featured in Huffington Post, AVN Magazine, Cosmo, as well as a variety sexuality blogs. In addition to running her own Youtube channel, Sunny is showcased on CalExotics channel as one of their Expert Sexperts. She also hosts the sexual health and wellness web series “Outside the Box” on the X3Sixty Network. Sunny teaches sexuality, relationship, and kink workshops with husband, Ken Melvoin-Berg.
As a lifestyle BDSM player, Sunny is passionate about freedom of sexual expression, sex positivity, self exploration, and pleasure based sex ed. Her goal is to normalize alternate sexuality practices and end sexual stigma. Sexuality isn’t shameful and it’s time we stop making it out to be.
– Rachel Lark is a singer/songwriter who sings about Sex, Drugs, heartbreak, and Messy Apartments. An up-and-coming San Francisco artist with a die-hard cult following, Rachel Lark has quickly become the musical muse of the sex-positive revolution. Her music has been featured on The Savage Lovecast, and she performs frequently San Francisco counterculture haunts like Bawdy Storytelling and Tourette’s Without Regrets.
Her music is always lyrically based with a strong foundation of passionate songwriting, while the timbres vary depending on the performance. Sometimes she’s bantering with the crowd over some ukulele plucking, and at other times she’ll be behind her laptop and synthesizers creating dance beats to accompany her layered vocal harmonies. In 2014 she released her debut EP, “I Wouldn’t Worry” followed by her first full-length album, “Lark After Dark,” and her Christmas album “Hung For The Holidays.” In 2015 she successfully funded a music video and new album through a Kickstarter campaign and is set to release both her new album, “Vagenius” and her new music video for Warm, Bloody, and Tender in August 2015.
