A candid potentially graphic discussion of sexual behaviors--the ones you want to keep and the ones, which no longer work for you. You will have an opportunity to discuss and create a sane and sound ideal for your current and future sex life.
3a: Orestes C. 11:45am-1:00pm Art Room 2

3b: Matthew R. 11:45am-1:00pm Room 4
"Sex, Internet and Porn Addictions"
Explore the effects of online media on the problems of sex and pornography addiction. The goal of this workshop is to offer strategies for coping and putting an end to destructive behaviors.

4b: Jason T. 2:00pm-3:15pm Room 4
"Moving into the Action Steps"

5a: Charles R. 3:30pm-5:30pm Art Room 2
"Sexual Compulsion, Masculinity, and the Gay Man"
Explore the 4 main archetypes of mature masculine identity: the King, Warrior, Lover and Magician.
