Thank You for YOUR Support!
During the past month our work at Sex Positive World has impacted people far and wide! As many of you are aware or even donated to the cause, our Executive Director, Jamie Love, and Remote Education Coordinator, Lady V, went around the U.S. east coast teaching workshops and hosting events. While on this trip, we also met up with a few of our new friends in New York who are on their way to building a robust chapter of Sex Positive New York City! Here's an update on our East Coast Tour!
Thanks to YOU we were able to spread this impact. Your funds helped put gas in the vehicle of growth (and our car). During our time we reached people in Detroit, Michigan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New York, New York! While we made it to Toronto, Ontario, we sadly had to cancel two events due to illness, but Lady V is back on her feet!
Your funds helped cover expenses such as lodging, fuel, flights, tolls, COFFEE, food, and medicine. Without your support, we wouldn’t have been able to make this a successful venture. Often, touring costs can exceed or come close to ticket sales. Making our work often not feasible. Not worrying about a bottom line has allowed us to focus on our work and the people we impact with it.
Thank you for the bottom of our hearts and souls for helping make this impact happen. Even in the face of a sex negative culture, we will continue to thrive and spread joy filled education across the U.S. and around the world. Whether you donated $1 or $1000, your contribution made a difference in making this happen. It’s not about the amount donated but about the having the support of others behind us who also believe in our mission here at Sex Positive World.
With love,
Jamie Love and Lady V
A little bit about our Adventure:
Detroit, MI
Gender Affirming Intimacy at Affirmations
Our first engagement was in Lady V’s hometown of Detroit, Michigan at the queer center where Lady V started her gender transition! We taught “Gender Affirming Intimacy" to a group of roughly twenty folx of all different genders and educational backgrounds.
The workshop had a deep impact on how people viewed their own personal terminology. New phrases for different body parts and phrases during intimacy were a big eye opener for quite a few attendees!
Intro to Human Cow Roleplay at Oblige Rope Boutique
Lady V was MOO-ved to teach her class “Holy Cow! - Intro to Human Cow Roleplay” at Oblige Rope Boutique! A gorgeous dungeon and rope space located in the heart of Detroit, MI.
The class was filled with a lot of laughs and lot more moos! We had quite a few people show up in cow print as well. Overall, Lady V was able to share a lot of new techniques and ideas with our friends in Detroit!
Philly, PA
Gender Affirming Intimacy at The Nest
In Philly for Gender Affirming Intimacy we had a packed room! We facilitated the workshop in the gorgeously curated lounge of The Nest, a dungeon located in Philadelphia.
Depending on the demographic of the room, Gender Affirming Intimacy can often be more geared towards certain genders or issues. This time we had a lot of gender expansive love in the room as Jamie Love hit deep on points around non-binary erasure and representation.
Bite Club at The Nest
Bite Club Philly was INCREDIBLE! Between the vibe the DJ and Lady V were laying down, the vibe the owners of The Nest put together with their lighting and production design, and the feral energy of our attendees, it was one for the books.
We ended up making a room full of people VERY happy. It was the communal connection a lot of people needed. Something to bring us together to scream, shout, and slam each other down on the mats.
New York City, NY
Meeting Murray & Lee
In New York, we met some of our friends helping foster our future chapter of Sex Positive NYC. On this night, Jamie Love and Lady V met up with SP World’s Secretary, Karen Hery and our friends Lee and Murray for some delicious Thai food in Brooklyn.
During this night we chatted and vibed about the meaning of connection, how in the city that has it all, how we could make a difference and build a beautiful community from the Bronx to the Battery to Brooklyn.
We’re highly looking forward to fostering our NYC chapter in 2025!
Bite Club at HMU
You’ve gotta BITE for your right to party!!! The energy at Bite Club NYC was bonkers!
By the end of the night we we’re going so hard, we turned off the music just to hear the sounds of bodies hitting the mats. Lady V ended up dropping the mic and just SCREAMING into the crowd…giving her a vocal hemorrhage (whoops).
Lady V, doing her best Brene Browne impression, got deep on the mic about feeling isolated or different, even in abstract communities like ours and how we can bring people together. Lady V made it a goal for everyone in the room to talk to at least ONE person before leaving for the night.
At the end of the night, people hung out and chatted with people they never met before. The goal of making connections was beautifully met and Jamie Love and Lady V got 2 AM pizza in Chinatown.
Toronto, Canada
OOF! Lady V ended up getting really sick the first day in Ontario and ended up losing her voice from the vocal hemorrhage and being sick. After realizing this was questionably bronchitis and not exhaustion, we decided to cancel the events.
While Lady V spent her days sick in bed with her Nintendo, she was watched by a mocking image of Marilyn Monroe seemingly laughing at her above her head nailed into an even more uncanny faux brick wall. Meanwhile, Jamie Love got wet crossing off seeing another wonder of the world, Niagara Falls!
Thanks again for all you support!
Lady V & Jamie Love
