Sex Positive folx can enjoy speed dating with us - make mates, not dates/ non-gendered partnering/ sex positive space/ body positive/ fun
We're taking our much loved Sex Positive Speed Dating online to help sex positive folx get connected in lovely ways.
Don't you hate speed dating? People move around asking the same questions over and over again and then comes the pressure to choose someone at the end of the evening. It all feels just a *little bit* forced. So we decided to throw the rules out of the window and create something entirely new and fun. Here's what we came up with:
Make mates, not dates: when we're trying really hard to get a date, we all start to act a bit weird, so let's focus on making friends and then take it from there (if you want to?) with no pressure whatsoever! It's far more relaxed for everyone! You can't have fun if you're always thinking about meeting THE ONE!
Non-gendered pairings: we know that gender is a spectrum and that some people don't identify as men or women, so we're randomly going to decide who gets to meet who.
Sex positive: this means that we celebrate sex and sexuality in all its forms in a shame-free environment. We want sexual freedom for everyone! This includes being LGBTQ+ friendly, kink friendly, poly friendly and generally...friendly!
Body positive: all bodies are beautiful and welcome!
Consent & Boundaries: the easiest way to have a good time is to establish shared values and we really care about everyone feeling comfortable and safe during the event. Therefore, we will start with a short consent and boundaries workshop, where attendance is mandatory.
FUN: don't worry, we've got this one covered, we're just letting you know what to expect :)
