When is the last time you sat down and really discussed safer sex practices with your partners? How comfortable are you starting this discourse with new partners? Do you ever feel like you’re playing roulette when you’re making decisions that might affect you and your partners’ health?
Do you wrestle with shame, guilt, fear or embarrassment from outdated sex ed information, or sex-negative messaging on social media and in pop culture?
Join the leaders of Spiritual Polyamory NYC, Jeri Lynn Astra Herbert & Kyle Applegate, for an upbeat, positive, polyamory-focused discussion regarding the 3 levels of fluid bonding and whether or not it is the right choice for you, STI screening, changes in sexual epidemiology, the best practices for protection, and how to have ongoing conversations surrounding these issues.
