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 DESIRE and INITIATION. So many couples experience a desire discrepancy, and yet there is a lot of important frameworks that better help us understand our desire and initiation needs. This session will include an educational component about desire frameworks (spontaneous vs. responsive), sex needs (emotional vs. sexual connection) and initiation. Sometimes just learning about these frameworks can ‘solve’ desire challenges in relationships, and help you better understand your own sexuality. 💕

Here are a few new guidelines for our men’s group:

1. We meet online via Zoom.
2. You must 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. 
3. You must 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.
4. My emails often go to spam because these topics are deliciously naughty. Look for emails from me hello@AndreaBertoli.com and Universe (the ticketing platform). 
5. 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.
