Declaring Our Erotic -- Let's write about sex!

Declaring Our Erotic -- Let's write about sex! Jan 30, 2010, 1-4pm An erotic writing workshop for queer women -- in honor of the Body Heat: Femme Porn Tour! Ever read through a sexy short story and thought, "I'd like to do that!" This writing workshop is for queer women who's considered writing erotic stories or writing about sex, or who'd like to get more comfortable doing so! No previous writing experience is necessary. We each need safe space in which to be our whole erotic selves -- to delve into the fantasies and imaginings that we've learned or been told don't "go with" our public sexual identities. In this workshop we'll celebrate and struggle with the fullness of our erotic expression. In this 3-hour class, you'll have the chance to try your hand at some explicit erotic writing. We'll write in response to exercises designed to tap into different aspects of our sexual selves: memory, fantasy, experience, relationship with the body, and more. Don't be surprised if you find, as have previous participants, that you're more comfortable discussing your own sexual desires after practicing writing about fictional sex! Bring your notebooks or laptops and your most open mind. Saturday, January 30, 2010, 1:00-4:00 PM, at the writing ourselves whole workshop space, 870 Market St, SF! Who: 18+. Cost: $20
