Outline

The workshop aims to address issues of self image and sexual comfort, often taboo topics in public. Our bodies are meant to give us pleasure but seldom does anyone discuss how. There are also various socially dictated ideas about what is acceptable and what is not, what is diserable and what is not, what is moral and what is not. Deconstructing these ideas and accepting one’s desires and wants will be one of the goals of this workshop. Similarly, given the amount of confusing, conflicting “knowledge” that there is out there, this workshop will look to provide adequate scientific knowledge.
