In the 1st part of this event, you will hear directly from Erin what has been happening behind the scenes at SPLA. Attendees can ask questions, pitch event ideas, and meet fellow members at this casual virtual event.

The 2nd part of this event features a special guest to share their knowledge about a specific topic in the realm of sexuality, sensuality, body positivity, consent/boundaries, dating, intimacy, relationships and other related topics.

Our special guest for Mon, Oct 25 is Sex Educator Marla Renee Stewart! Marla's chosen topic of discussion for this hour-long conversation is ‘The Art of Dirty Talk.’ She will give us some sexy dirty talk tips, why we should talk dirty, and how it can improve your sex life.

More about Marla’s workshop:

Are you a little shy when it comes to expressing yourself in the bedroom? Or maybe you’re good in bed, but you want to bring your sexual life to new level? This workshop will help you to speak up in bed, as well as get you and your partner to a more sexually arousing state. Practicing words, power, intonation and intention, we will help you to magnify your sexual potential. We will use our creative imaginations to guide us in imagery that enhances our sexual energy and also learn ways to stimulate our hormones to achieve our sexual goals.
