Healthy Hookups

Wednesday, March 18th — 7:30 p.m. — $25

An encounter can be brief, while still respectful and meaningful. This class will help you figure out if hookups are for you, and if so, how to get what you want from a casual sex scenario! You can’t get what you want if you don’t know what you want, so we’ll explore motivations for casual sex and how to get your needs met in a casual rendezvous. As not all “hookups” are the same, we’ll talk about both one-time scenarios and how to build an ongoing friends-with-benefits relationship. We’ll discuss negotiation tools, safety, and how to meet people interested in the same things you are — without game playing or ghosting.
