The Eroticism of Play: Going beyond the Cliché
Copyright :
Come join renowned sexologists Drs. Emily Nagoski & Lexx Brown-James as they examine how the erotic power of play impacts intimacy and relationship bonding. During this keynote, you'll learn how to use play as a supportive intervention to increase relationship intimacy when it is not specifically explicit. Building upon frameworks from Adrienne Marie Brown's Pleasure Activism and Tricia Hersey's Nap Ministry, Drs. Nagoski and Brown-James present going beyond cliché of play to support providers in removing their own playfulness obstacles to help their clients experience greater levels of pleasure in relationships. Additional training beyond this workshop would be required for independent practice and implementation of these techniques.
