Big Fat Sex

A sexuality workshop that is truly one size fits all. Hanne Blank's book Big Big Love: A Sex and Relationships Guide for People of Size (and Those Who Love Them), now in an all-new updated edition, is the only handbook on sex, sexuality, and sexual self-confidence for people of all genders and orientations and for bodies of all sizes of large. Come talk and learn about the ins and outs of sex toys, sex aids, and positions for big folks -- yes you can get on top! -- as well as ways to cope with the insecurities that go along with living in a culture where you can never be too rich or too thin. Bring your questions and be prepared to supersize your sex life!
