Big Lust: Embracing Sexuality in a Fat Body

Your fat body deserves all the sexual intimacy & pleasure you desire! Learn to live your best sexual life in this workshop with a sex coach

Right at this moment, countless fat people of all shapes, orientations, genders, ages, and levels of ability are having fulfilling and even mind-blowing sex. Why shouldn’t you be one of them?

One of the most damaging myths about fatness is that it makes us undesirable, unattractive, even unfuckable. That’s a fatphobic lie, and it’s time for the truth: Pleasure is your birthright no matter your size or shape, you CAN have amazing sex with a fat body, and there are plenty of people out there who genuinely revel in their partners’ fat bodies. The key is in making sure the sex you’re having fits your body– not the other way around.

In this fat liberation workshop with fat activist and sex educator/coach Rebecca Rose Vassy, learn how to embrace your sexuality, your body, and your sex life. Discover:

• How to adapt your positions and surroundings to make your body comfortable during sex
• How to talk to your lover about your body’s needs and how to touch and talk to you the way that feels good to YOU
• How to explore your sexuality and pleasure solo, giving yourself the space to become a loving partner to your body
• How to work through fears and body image issues that come up around sex for you
• How to vet potential sex partners for body affirmation and safety before you have sex with them
• BONUS: Begin to see yourself through the eyes, words, and desires of people who enjoy their partners’ fat bodies

An active, pleasure-filled sex life isn’t something you must put off until/unless you lose weight. Intimacy and pleasure is yours for the taking right now as you transform your relationship to fat-bodied sex.

There will be a Q&A discussion period with a method for submitting questions or experiences anonymously. This class is inclusive of and welcomes people of all genders, orientations, lovestyles, neurotypes, and levels of physical ability.
