“I had my FIRST MULTIPLE ORGASMS ever, immediately following the workshop! My partner and I got way more creative and communicative about everything. I trust him with my pussy on a new level. My confidence grew. I knew more about what turns me on and when, and how to communicate this effectively and sexily.” - A.G.
“I was able to apply what I learned the next day and my partner squirted 4 times! This is the first time I have been able to achieve this result. I paid a lot of attention to slowing down and really listening to my partner and not just going in without a game plan. The pleasure increase I was able to provide increased my confidence and I enjoyed the sexual experience even more knowing that my partner was enjoying it.“ - L.L.
“I’ve just always been so nervous about having someone between my legs. The pressure of time or that he wasn’t liking it or the ‘how do I smell’ and ‘what do I taste like’ was replaced by ‘let’s try this’ and ‘how does that feel’ and we just played around for hours. And eventually, not really worrying about it, led to the FIRST ORGASM from oral that I have had in TEN YEARS!!” - M.S.
“My communication with my primary partner got instantly smoother and our sexual connection improved as a result. Moreover, the suggested exercises gave me shortcuts for how to learn about new partners’ preferences in a hot way.” - J.H.
“I came into it expecting to learn a lot of things to teach my future partners and in no way expected to learn how to become a better communicator and receiver. All valuable lessons that I won't soon forget. Thank you for that!" - J.D.

These difficulties can create stress, leading to miscommunication and conflict, challenges with initiation and completion, and friction around different ways of doing things. We reframe these challenges as predictable patterns rather than personal shortcomings, offering practical strategies to work with neurological differences instead of against them. This workshop is designed for autistic and ADHD adults, single or partnered, and their loved ones.
