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.
Reid demonstrating energetic orgasms and what he calls “Tantric Twitchies” (Kriyas)
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!

Sexuality educators Sunny Megatron and Ken Melvoin-Berg are super excited to have sex and relationship expert, Allison Moon at The Studio Chicago on Wednesday, May 29th 2013 from 8-10pm!
Wanna add another tool to your box but don’t know where to start? Love the idea but nervous about the execution?
Strap-on play, once considered taboo, is now en vogue, and, for many of us, an essential part of our sex lives. But unless you had the chutzpah to blaze your own trail or a special someone to show you the ropes, buckling up and pitching or catching can be intimidating.
Join Sapphic savant and veteran pegster, Allison Moon, for this fun, informative, and sexy introduction to the world of harnesses, dildos, lubes and moves for all genders.
In this workshop, you will learn…
- The ins and outs of strap-on play
- How to choose a dildo and a harness that’s right for you
- Fun positions for giving and receiving
- Special considerations for anuses and pegging.
- How to brooch the subject of strap-ons with your partner and integrate it into your regular sex life
- and, especially… What not to do!
- Plus a few advanced tips and tricks that will leave your lovers coming back for more…

About The Studio Chicago and Hosts Sunny Megatron & Ken Melvoin-Berg
The Studio is Chicago’s premier, upscale playspace located just outside of downtown Chicago. This independent kink and erotic arts community believes in continual learning and hosts educational events on a regular basis. The Studio is the home of the popular Rough Crowd Educational Series, Black Beat Chicago, On The Edge BDSM Workshop Series, among many others. The space is clean, sober and non-smoking. Anyone 18+ years of age can attend our educational events.
Sexuality and BDSM educators, Sunny Megatron and Ken Melvoin-Berg are partners in every sense of the word. They co-teach classes across the U.S. on BDSM, polyamory, sexual techniques, sex toys 101 and more. Ken & Sunny are most known for their approachability, humor and ability to present alternative sexuality topics in a way that is accessible and understandable to the mainstream. Their most recent endeavor features the couple as host and co-host for Outside the Box on X3Sixty, a web-based television network devoted to sex and the adult industry.
It 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!
