It’s a new year, we’re fundraising for new futures, and anything is possible! After the runaway success of the Fisting Workshop led by Malic over our 13 Days of A+ in 2020, we’ve been working on figuring out how to bring you more content that gives you the concrete know-how about queer sex that it can be tough to get through written articles in a format as close to IRL as possible. We wanted it to be actually useful for folks of all kinds of experience and background and give you concrete knowledge beyond just asking your partner what they’re into, and we wanted it to be led by queer people whose insight on sex & relationships you trust in a format that’s as accessible as possible. And we’re ready to make it happen! We’re bringing you a brand new live video series exploring the building blocks of queer sex, led by real queer sex-having people! This month, Shelli Nicole is bringing you a world of knowledge and insight about masturbation!

Autostraddle’s Queer Sex 101 Workshop Series is made possible through the support of A+ Members. The live workshop is available to A+ members only. Live realtime captioning will be provided. The recording of this workshop will be available for free to the public within 72 hours of the initial workshop. Thank you A+ members for making this possible!

Support Independent Queer Media
We’re raising funds to make it through the end of July. 99% of the people who read this site don’t support. Will you be one of the ones who do? Joining A+ is one of the best ways to support Autostraddle — plus you get access to bonus content while keeping the site 99% free for everyone. Will you join today?
Just to clarify, by “The recording of this workshop will be available for free to the public within 72 hours of the initial workshop.” do you mean for everyone or just for A Plus members?
Everyone! A+ members get access to the live workshop so you can interact / ask questions live. Ultimately though, because this workshop is something that is helpful to our community in general, even people who can’t afford to support, we’re going to make it available to everyone. This series is supported by funds from A+ members (as with most things we do) and we want to recognize that support while also doing the greatest good we can for our queer community.
Got it, thanks!
Is there a way for A+ members who live in timezones that don’t allow for watching live to submit questions? 8pm EST is 2am for me, and I’m sad to miss out on the interactive component! It was one of my favorite parts of the fisting workshop :D Either way, HELL YEAH I’m so excited that you are continuing with live workshops!!!!!!
Yes! You can go ahead and use the form linked above to submit questions ahead of time! here it is again:
