Men’s Conscious Sexuality Collective // Monthly Gathering [December]

about this event

This monthly gathering is for men looking to explore their pleasure potential, learn about conscious sexuality, and practice strategies for better relating.

This collective is organized and hosted by Andrea Bertoli, a men’s sexuality coach and sex educator, in service of men’s healing and growth. Each month, I will lead a discussion on a chosen topic, and the remaining time will be open for the attendees to reflect and process what they learned, share their experiences, and ask questions. You are welcome to attend monthly, or join us only once. 

My vision is that our work together is part learning session and part men’s circle for sharing of group wisdom and experience. Leading this group is a community service / love offering to the world, so there is no fee for attending (however, for those that feel inspired, I’ll provide donation options in the session).

The topic for December is EDGING & ORGASM CONTROL. A juicy topic to help you feel more into your body and expand your pleasure practice. If you want to read more about edging, check out my blog article about edging practice here.

After hosting a few of these circles, and getting feedback from the community, here are a few new guidelines for our group:

  1. Please be on time. After 10 minutes I will not let anyone else into the group. You are welcome to leave at any time, but you won’t be able to rejoin. 
  2. You need to have video on for our session. Whether you join for one session or many, your presence is important, and having a face allows us to feel more connected across the ether. You are welcome to go video off for short periods (ie: bio breaks or to answer the phone) but please plan to have your video on for the whole session.
  3. My intention is to create a safe(r) space for all men: this means that I’ll do my best to moderate and set the stage for kindness, respect, and openness, and that no hateful or disparaging comments are welcome. I am queer/kinky/poly/ENM/trans-loving and affirming, and I hope you are too. If you are rude, disrespectful, or hateful, I will remove you and you will not be allowed back into the circle, ever.

As our group grows, it may evolve and change, including guest speakers and experts. Join us once or every month to learn, grow, expand, share, and share space with other men to see… what might come up for you 🤭

This class is for anyone that identifies as a man; if you don’t identify as a man, please see other events here to find one that’s a better fit.

Some of the potential topics for upcoming discussions may include: 

  • Communication practices for couples 
  • Consent frameworks to help you have hotter sex
  • Body-based practices (breathwork, guided meditations, sensation play)
  • Kink/BDSM conversations about exploration, consent, and negotiation
  • Polyamory and non-monogamy conversations: exploration and actualization
  • Desire & arousal, anatomy & physiology 
  • Topics as requested by the ongoing group! What do you want to learn about?
