F*cking with Gender with Sinclair Sexsmith

cqa1 — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:07:55 +0000

Has Singles Awareness Day put sex on your mind? Join the Columbia Queer Alliance and Mr. Sinclair Sexsmith of the Sugarbutch Chronicles for an interactive workshop on gender expression, identities, labels, transcending mutually exclusive binaries, queer culture, and hot sweaty sex.

We’ll explore how our culture values sex, how to get what we want out of relationships, how to turn up the heat on our own sex drive, and how to communicate better with our lovers. We’ll play with…concepts of how gender identity and sexual identity intersect, butch/femme roles as a language of desire, how labels can be restrictive or liberating, whether gender is a fetish or a kink, and how to have more dirty queer sex.

See you there in Hamilton 309 on Monday, February 13th at 8:00 pm!
