Other Community Events to Enjoy!
The CSPC throws amazing parties and hosts many important discussions on various topics. But luckily, we live in a place where there are many more options to dive into sex- and body-positive culture. The list below is just a sampling of some great events coming up in the next month.
We include non-CSPC events in every issue. If you have an event suggestion, please email Marissa at newsletter@thecspc.org and it might make it into our next issue!
May 30–August 8
Consent Academy: Consent and Leadership Summer Series ($300+ | online)
Consent and Leadership is a unique opportunity for leaders to deepen their understanding of consent, power, trauma, and accountability. It consists of 8 workshops and one optional lab, each exploring the knowledge, skills, and practices anyone who finds themselves in a position of influence or authority needs in order to foster a consensual space.

Beacon Cinema - Ask Any Buddy ($13 | in person)
ASK ANY BUDDY is a throbbing feature-length fever-dream collage of real desire, cruising, and fucking. The piece uses fragments from 126 theatrical feature films spanning the years 1968-1986 to create a kaleidoscopic day in the life snapshot of urban gay culture in the era — or at least how it looked in the movies.
July 22 (every Monday through August)
Emerald City Trapeze Arts - Beginner Shibari ($25 | in person)
In this foundational session, students will learn fundamental ties and techniques to begin their rope journey. Though fundamental, these techniques can be combined in uncountable ways to produce elaborate shapes and scenarios. Besides learning technical skills, we will focus on rope bondage as a movement and acrobatic art, with emphasis on flow, aesthetics, and partner connection.

Pan Eros - And All About that Ass: Anal Play 101 ($15 | in person)
Anal play can be a wonderful experience that can deepen your understanding of your own body and what turns you on. Unfortunately, we are fed Puritanical messages that sex involving your butt is dirty, unnatural, and taboo. In this class, Nyx will bust these myths and share tips on how to make anal exploration fulfilling and worthwhile. We will look at toys specifically designed for the task, lubricants, books and more.
August 6
Sex Positive World - The Pleasure Talk ($0–$25 | online)
This class builds upon skills learned using these tools, and offers an updated framework created by and for our Sex Positive community. You can use The Pleasure Talk in your own relationships, at our events, and anywhere you find yourself in intimate connections with others.
Editor’s note for all events*
As a reminder, these are non-CSPC events. We include them as a way to open your mind to possible other experiences, but we have no control over them, their content, or their missions.
