It is time to transform your relationship to sex from limited, private, and unexamined to expansive, playful, and healing.
Join OpenLev and Kinhood for an intimate journey into the realms of sex and sexuality. In this 8-week series, we will explore topics of sexual identity, sexual anatomy, pleasure, communication, consent, kink, eros, needs & boundaries collaboratively. This offering is for any male-identifying individual who seek to evolve their language and conversation around sex-related topics to be more expansive, playful, and healing.
These conversations are so often kept in private places or remain tucked away within our romantic relationships—especially for men. Yet, we so often yearn for openness in how we talk and feel about sex. Men need a safe space to explore and find language for their experiences in service to the integrity of their relationships.
This is an opportunity to come together around these rich topics and necessary conversations.
*this course is specifically welcoming of all men including queer and trans men.
if you an hold an identity beyond cis/het male, we’d love to talk with you about what inclusivity means to us. While this course will integrate some Jewish teachings, it is open to all folks regardless of religious identity.
explore your sexuality with openness and ease.

Testimonials from the past two Sex & Sexuality cohort:
“This is the only space I've been in where exploring sexuality freely, messily, fearfully, and experimentally, was not only tolerated but celebrated. To be able to discuss topics as diverse as shame, trauma, desire or lack there of, lifestyle, sensuality vs sexuality, consent, and sexuality in culture, history and mythology, was so rich, challenging, necessary to unpack in such a suppressed and yet sexually driven culture.”
-
“This was a beautiful space of deep, sprawling exploration of socialization, shame, desire, self-connection, and transformation. There were intimate confessions and connections, and lots of space for moving through it all.”
-
“The Kinhood sexuality course helped me open up to so many layers of my sexuality that I didn't have access to. It helped me channel my erotic being in a deeply embodied way.”
-
“This course felt so sacred to me. So many of the moments of the course felt so rare - moments to talk about sex, my body, early experiences... that I hadn't been invited to share with any one else before. The group so quickly became a place with so much safety and so much vulnerable learning.”
“An incredible, eye-opening experience. As my first men's group, I am leaving very encouraged and hopeful. It feels like the starting part of a healing journey, and it has given me some language to continue the conversation with men about sex & sexuality. I am amazed that such connection, honesty, and vulnerability could take place in the context of a Zoom. I felt very held and seen, encouraged to lay down old wounds and stories and to look at sex & sexuality with wonder and exploration again.”
“Men's work is brand new to me, and I couldn't have asked for better guides into exploring my soul.”
