Unveiling Pleasurable Consent: Exploring Boundaries at Ourgasm Festival
In April, I had the pleasure of journeying to the Ourgasm Festival- The UK’s first Sex Positive Festival, nestled within the underground vibes of Loko Club in Bristol, for a day filled with tantalising conversations, delicious acts and plenty of yummy shopping. Cruising up to Bristol at the break of dawn, I was excited to share my talk "Making Consent Pleasurable" with a fresh crowd!
As I stepped into Loko Club, the air crackled with anticipation, drawing in attendees ready to soak in a day of discovery and deliciousness. Taking center stage within the industrial backdrop, I dove into the importance of consent and boundaries, weaving in my expertise as a queer sex and relationship coach.
Throughout the session, we embarked on a dynamic journey of discourse and discovery, engaging in vibrant discussions and immersive exercises designed to illuminate the transformative power of integrating consent into our intimate interactions. Despite the unconventional setting, the audience embraced the conversation with fervor and enthusiasm, fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect and open-mindedness
As the day progressed, it was wonderful to meet more people that are working to change the narrative around Queerness and Sex, cementing the importance of communication and mutual understanding in creating empowering sexual experiences. And to cap it off, we indulged in some late-night treats at Tim Hortons (My first time!)—where the Honey Crulla and Apple Fritter stole the spotlight, leaving us all in doughnut heaven!
