Let's Talk About Sex: A Radical Honesty Online Series
Online Series | Saturdays: February 18 - March 18, 2023 | $200 - $400
What is this workshop?
The title says it all.
We are going to get together and talk about sex, Radical Honesty-style. Many of us haven’t spent much time speaking openly about our sexual selves.
Sex could easily be added to politics and religion, on the list of things you’re “not supposed to talk about.”
Luckily, we in the Radical Honesty community rarely adhere to such shoulds.
So rather than withhold, let’s bare it all.
What Will We Do?
In this course, you’ll be introduced to exercises you haven’t experienced in previous Radical Honesty workshops.
You’ll have the opportunity to reveal out loud what you like, what you don’t like, what you’ve done, and what you’d like to do, in the context of sex.
All the while practicing the Radical Honesty fundamentals of noticing and reporting.
We will borrow games from Betty Martin and Joseph Kramer and other experts, along with exercises we’ve developed on our own.
We’ll also chat about fantasies, and explore your Core Erotic Theme – a concept proffered by Jack Morin in his book The Erotic Mind.
Additionally, you’ll get to explore your relationship with pleasure, and taboo.
You’ll also have the opportunity to be in contact with the group via email in between calls, and to reflect and practice by doing optional self-study assignments.
Our intention is to create a space for you to share what you’ve kept hidden about your sexual self.
And to do so in community, with support from each other and the coaches.
Betty Martin has said that the antidote to shame is being seen.
We hope this series serves as an opportunity for you to be seen, and to fully experience whatever comes up for you when you are totally revealed.
Testimonials from past participants of this series:
"I have been waiting for Radical Honesty meetups around sexuality, and am happy that they finally happened. So much came up for me in these sessions. I appreciate Lindsay and Tony very much for creating and holding this space. I perceived them as very present, as making themselves vulnerable and as very much reliable throughout these journeys through our sexual experiences, trauma and desires. Would love to join a follow up." -K.S.
"I found the class to be very cathartic and humbling. I learned a lot about myself through the exercises, and through the experiences of the other participants. I enjoyed sharing a part of myself with the group that wouldn’t normally be spoken out loud or would happen behind closed doors. It was really good to evaluate my self-talk. The more I shared, the more I realized the stories I tell myself are silly and ridiculous. Before the course, I had some levels of shame about sex, and my own sense of worthiness in having it. As the group progressed, I felt challenged by my own edges and blind spots, but I also felt a shift from fear and insecurity towards being more playful and loving. The facilitators did a great job of guiding us down the rabbit hole, and overall, I feel a lot lighter and less inhibited than before. Also, it was a lot of fun." -D.S.

What are the requirements for attendance?
We would like for every participant to be familiar with the Radical Honesty basics, and to have been led through the fundamental exercises (I Notice/I Imagine and Sometimes I Pretend) by a certified Radical Honesty Trainer.
As such, those who have attended an 8-Day Intensive, Weekend Workshop, or online course are eligible.
If you do not meet these requirements and are still interested in attending this series, you can book an individual coaching session with Lindsay wherein you’ll be led through these exercises before attending the course.
