There is far too little research about how psychoactive substances affect our brains, and vicariously, how they affect our sexual experiences when we engage in drug play.

This workshop will walk you through the basic understanding of how the human brain works when it comes to addiction, novelty seeking, and drug seeking behaviors. This will also give you an overview of the four aspects that makeup our sexuality, and how drugs have an effect on each of those differently.

We will discuss some of the main recreational substances that are used, and how they interact with our bodies during different sexual experiences.

This workshop will be an overview of the full "Sex on Substances" course that is available on turningviolet.com

This event will be recorded and sent out to ticket holders within a few days after the livestream.

The livestream link is emailed to ticket holders upon their purchase, and twice in the days leading up to the event. Please check your spam inbox if you do not receive your link on by 8 AM the morning of the event.
