In addition to giving tours and lecturing, he travels around the world teaching kink awareness to various private groups. New kink-friendly/sex positive classes are also in development for 2012. He is also responsible for the infamous Northwestern University Fucksaw incident when he was teaching his class Networking for Kinky People to the Human Sexuality class. No fucksaws were harmed during this event.

Sunny Megatron is a pleasure advocate, sex blogger, sexpert, adult sex educator and accidental superhero. Along with Ken, she is one of the infamous Northwestern Fucksaw Four and is the proud owner of that fucksaw heard around the world.

On any given weekend you can find Sunny hosting Red Light District Sex Tours and bachelorette parties for Weird Chicago Tours.

She particularly enjoys helping those curious about adding a little spice to their sex lives that aren’t sure where to begin.

Ethical Non-Monogamy: Navigating Open Relationships @ Meow University at Good Gyrll Studio
Jun 30 @ 9:00 PM – Jul 1 @ 12:00 AM

Polyamory workshop ChicagoIt seems everyone’s talking about non-monogamous relationships these days.  Polyamory has recently been featured on prime time news shows, magazine covers and reality TV programs.  If you’ve thought about exploring some form of non-monogamy, you’ve probably wondered:

Is there a difference between and open relationship and a polyamorous one?   How do swinging and group sex factor in? What is the appropriate way to approach someone for a threesome? How is jealousy managed with multiple partners? Isn’t “open-relationship” just a fancy term for cheating?  Are people poly because they like to have lots of sex?  How I talk to my partner about opening up our relationship?  What happens if I get jealous? 

There is no magic formula for an open relationship or one right way to be poly. In this workshop Ken and Sunny explain different types of non-monogamous relationships and give you tools to craft and maintain a relationship that’s right for you (and them!).

 

This class is through Chicago’s Meow University

And will take place at:

Good Gyrrl Studio
1200 W 35th St
Chicago, IL 60609

Eventbrite ticket page and additional details coming soon!

Kinky Sexceptional Weekend with Midori – Sexuality & Care Professional Training
Feb 24 @ 9:00 AM – Feb 25 @ 6:00 PM

100% ONLINE CONFERENCE

JOIN INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR – MIDORI FOR THIS ONLINE KINKY SEXCEPTIONAL WEEKEND WITH SHA IN FEBRUARY!

GET READY FOR TWO DAYS OF UNIQUE DEEP DIVES INTO THE REALITIES AND CHALLENGES OF BDSM AS PRACTICED BY PEOPLE TODAY. WE WILL EXPLORE THE EXISTING TOOLS, LANGUAGE, IDENTITY FRAMEWORK AND STRATEGIES COMMONLY USED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

 

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

We will unpack the personal assumptions, unspoken expectations, general cultural stereotyping, and kink subcultures’ own mythologizing narratives. These biases may be held by clients as well as clinicians. For the clients, these may lead to unproductive, unfulfilling or even toxic sexual experiences or relationships. For clinicians, this course fills many gaps in therapy discourse of BDSM sexuality, where clients often go unserved.

Midori will introduce one practical framework around language of play and strategy navigation of desire as well as help you become proficient in an effective model of sex and BDSM negotiation where mutuality and collaboration is emphasized.

Midori’s presentation will be frank and we are encouraging everyone’s first person perspective discussions. Expect break out discussions, role playing conversations, lectures and Q&A.

Over these two days, you will dive into:

  • What BDSM practitioners are seeking and the challenges that they experience

  • Practical, judgement-free framework and language of BDSM

  •  Improving cultural proficiency of North American BDSM

  • Understanding how clients may use Midori’s “BDSM Appetite Grid” for better play and pleasure

  • Learning Midori’s method of collaborative and co-creative BDSM negotiation

  • Considering constructive versus destructive erotic humiliation play

  • Gaining working knowledge of a model to conceptualize and discuss humiliation play

  • Frank and illuminating discussion with a subject matter expert educator with decades of lived experience

DATES FOR THIS ONLINE CONFERENCE:

SATURDAY FEB 24TH, 2023, 10AM – 6PM CST
