Penis to Prostate: A Guide to Internal and External Pleasure

$15 – $25
Stella Harris

This class will be held LIVE online via Zoom — Zoom links are sent out 3 days prior and then again 1 hour prior to start time. The class will be recorded and available for a limited time shortly following the class. Registration deadline: 1 hour prior to class PST. No day-of cancellations.

No one in society has it easy when it comes to sex. Harmful ideas about the way sex and bodies should work can build shame and embarrassment for anyone who operates outside the mainstream porn example. For some, the emphasis on performance and “doing” can create a great deal of stress and anxiety. It can also feel difficult to adjust to the sometimes vulnerable role of receiving touch or penetration.

In this class, Stella Harris will discuss communication techniques and ways to create intimacy that don’t require an erection, as well as how to relax, slow down, and enjoy a range of sensations without being goal-oriented or rushing to a finish line. Whether exploring on your own body or with a partner, this class will teach you external and internal touch techniques to make anal play accessible.

This class is for anyone with a penis or prostate, or who likes playing with them!
