Aging Kinky AF Workshop

Aging Kinky AF reframes aging as erotic evolution—especially for Black, Brown, queer, disabled, and sex-working communities. We blend clinical insight, public health, and lived kink expertise to dismantle ageism and center pleasure as resistance. Attendees will learn adaptive strategies for desire, consent, and connection as bodies, roles, and needs shift across the lifespan. Through quick somatic check-ins, workbook prompts, and facilitated dialogue, we model kink-affirming, trauma-informed practice you can use with clients, partners, and communities right now. Participants will leave with language, tools, and a mini “Desire Intimacy Wellness Inventory™️” they can immediately implement in practice.

What to Expect:

• Expect a thoughtful, engaging, and practical workshop that blends clinical insight, lived experience, and guided reflection. We will explore aging, kink, and pleasure through a trauma-informed and body-affirming lens, with space for somatic check-ins, workbook prompts, and discussion. Attendees will leave with tools, language, and strategies they can apply immediately in practice, partnership, and community.

Who This Space is For: Clinicians, Sex workers, unlicensed professionals, and the general public
