Sex Café: Pleasure Anatomy for All Bodies

Friday, March 13th · 6pm · Pollinate Hive House, Des Moines Free will donation · All are welcome

What does pleasure actually look like when we stop performing it for someone else?

That’s the question we’re sitting with at this month’s Sex Café. “Pleasure Anatomy for All Bodies” isn’t about textbook diagrams or checking boxes. It’s about making space for the real, complicated, sometimes awkward conversation about what feels good in your body, on your terms.

Whether you’re navigating chronic pain, disability, aging, body changes, trauma recovery, or just the quiet exhaustion of being told your body should work a certain way, this gathering is for you. And if none of those apply but you’re curious? You’re welcome here too.

Sex Café is open to everyone. All genders, sexualities, relationship configurations, and experience levels belong in this room. You don’t need to be an expert on your own body to show up. That’s kind of the whole point.

This is a facilitated, low-pressure conversation circle. There’s no pressure to share, no homework, no “right” answers. Just a room full of humans being honest together. A warm welcome. A grounding opening. Real talk. Laughter is likely. Tears are fine. You won’t be put on the spot.

This is a body-affirming, identity-affirming, shame-free zone.

Sex is a fundamental part of the human experience, yet there are very few safe spaces to talk about our lives as sexual beings. Sex Café aims to change that. Come and be a part of the dialog.

    Too late of notice to make this, have dinner plans at 530p and would not want to interrupt near the end.

    Still trying to work on starting a recurring death circle event with you and other death doulas.

      We typically run the 2nd Friday of every month, April we will be the 3rd (4/17). And yes! Let’s find a time to chat about details on that.

        I put April on my calendar.

        Happy to meet or talk on the phone about my idea and your experience to start a regular and consistent Death Circle. I heard that Dog Eared Books in Ames has one on the first Monday of the month and will be trying to visit it next month.

        Love, Kevin Marken
