  • 5+ phrases you can use to define boundaries

Why should you take this course?

  1. You're not a mind reader. Everyone's preferences and comfort with sex is different. You need the ability to talk about what you want (and don't want), and to discover what your partner likes (and doesn't like).
  2. You're worried that talking about sex might ruin the experience. Have you felt before like you wanted to feel closer to a partner, but didn't quite know how to get there? This course is designed to give you the skills to start conversations that will lead to more intimacy, not less.
  3. You just don't even know where to start! Whether you want to engage in casual sex or just feel more comfortable entering into conversations about sex with friends, learning important vocabulary and phrases will build a strong foundation.
