All,
I wanted to throw out an idea. The reason I couldn't attend the last meeting was because I attended the Center for Sex Positive Culture board meeting. They seem to be doing a lot of the same things that AESA is trying to do and they have a lot of energy. I was wondering if AESA might be interested in merging the two groups. I haven't explored with them if they are even interested in that. Since they are fairly young relative to our group they may enjoy some of our wisdom. Many of them aren't necessarily practitioners either, so we would bring a lot of that to the table. The advantage that they have is energy. They are out in the community and becoming fairly well known. On their Facebook page they have over 200 followers. I just thought I would throw the idea out there for discussion. |

Sounds interesting Dan. Perhaps some other AESA members would like visit this group and see if they agree that merging would be a good idea.

I've looked at some of the info on them on line. One of the things we talked about extensively in the last meeting was the need to be neutral and essentially safe feeling to as many people as possible. This was a concern in talking about where to host events and presentations. If Education is our focus as it seemed we were largely agreed it should be, we are reaching out to people who may have inhibitions and reservations about sex and their own sexuality but have a desire to learn how to have better relationships.
I suspect that most of our current and past members would enjoy the Center for Sex Positive Culture but my feeling is that merging with them would probably scare away much of the general population that needs better sex and intimacy education the most. I am, of course, just one voice with the view of a lay person, other members may feel differently. It seems they are more about creating opportunities to interact socially and sexually than about education of people who are not already part of the sex positive community. |

Hi Everyone. I'm fairly new to this Meet Up. I have signed up for a class offered by this group in March.
I was also on Facebook with about 127 people on my page. I spent too much needed time on there away from my family. Needless to say, I'm no longer on Facebook and wouldn't be able to access any information you have if you joined groups with the Center for Sex Positive Culture on FB. I'm primarily on this Meet Up to receive more education and group experiences through your workshops or classes. Thanks. :-D |

some of their activities are focused on getting together sexually, but some are educational too. For example, they just had a blow-job class as given by a gay man. they also have Porn Night which watches and then analyzes porn. By adding our influence we could add the educational aspect to it. They are reaching out and bringing people in to their realm. i don't know if they are scaring people or not, but they are growing.
I think having a couple of us attend one of their Board meetings would be a great idea. |

I'm not on any of your boards or organizers committees, but I do hope you continue with AESA in the future as it is. By the way, I had no idea that gay men gave blow jobs differently than women do. Is there really a difference if your partner tells you what they want and you please them on your own? Anyway... Porn Night is not an activity in my home or family either. I'm not scared off by something like this, but there may be some other people who are. I think (as a non-practitioner) that if people choose to "hook up" with others and have sex it should be a private matter outside of a group that is supposed to be focused on educating people. PEACE THX :-D
