For many queers, gender roles are a construct which we discard as one of those Tools Of The Patriarchy when we begin deconstructing heteronormativity. But regardless of the rejection of the compulsive normative roles, many queers still uncover and meander our way toward our own unique gender identities and expressions.

Adding gender dynamics to your role play in sex can be a delightful and informative way to encourage deeper gender self-discovery, to solidify or express identities which are budding, or to further identities already in progress.

This will be an interactive workshop on exploring the addition of gender to power dynamics in sexual role play scenarios to increase desire, vulnerability, self-knowledge, and intimacy
