Humpday Erotica: Bedtime Stories for Grownups
One Wednesday evening per month, Sarah will read you a grown-up bedtime story. By that, we mean some top-shelf feminist patriarchy-smashing erotica. Then you’ll discuss!

Sex-Positive Parenting
How do we raise kids to love and respect their bodies, to enjoy pleasure without shame, and to practice and expect consent in every interaction? How and when do we talk with our kids about sex? How do we help keep them safe and happy as they blossom into sexual beings? This three-part class is a chance for parents to come together, share their questions and struggles, and learn some of the best ways to set our kids up for a fulfilling sexual future with less shame and more pleasure.
Spend your lunch hour with host Sarah Goodrich of Goodrich Sexuality Education. Join her via Zoom on three Thursdays 12:00-1:00pm EST: Feb 6, 13, 20.

Sex Ed Book Club: Come As You Are (Chapters 4-6)
Sex Ed Book Club meets monthly on a Wednesday evening 7:30-9:00pm on Zoom. Sarah will choose books with truly helpful sex ed content, and you’ll discuss a manageable chunk so that it’s easy to keep up. The facilitated conversation will include what’s in the book as well as how it applies to our lives. Come nerd out with Sarah!
Come As You Are, by Emily Nagoski, is the most comprehensive book about sex that Sarah has found, particularly for people with vulvas (or people having sex with people with vulvas).
For February 19, you’ll discuss chapters 4-6. Themes include:
emotional context (stress, attachment style, and more)
cultural context (sex negativity, body image, and more)
arousal (including arousal noncorcordance, which is a super helpful concept!)

Pleasure at the Center
Pleasure is perhaps the most delicious way to weaken the patriarchy. This 4-week class series will start by demonstrating how this is true. You will explore how prioritizing pleasure can transform your relationship with your body, the relationships with the people you love, and even how you relate with your work and all the things that fill your days.
The class will include pleasure practices to weave into all aspects of your life. It will also include specific information about maximizing sexual pleasure, both solo and with partners. There will be opportunities to share and learn from one another in a tightly held container where consent always comes first.
Hosted by Sarah Goodrich of Goodrich Sexuality Education.
Three-Week Series: Tuesdays, March 18th, 25th, and April 1st (ALL 7:00-9:00pm)
