The casual sex space is ….. a little taboo. ⚠️
What do I mean when I say casual sex? I’m talking friends with benefits, one night stands, holiday flings, lovers, exploring options after a break-up etc. 🍆😏
Anything that isn’t a committed relationship where you are BUILDING, basically.
I hear so many challenges around:
- not feeling “respected” (the slut shaming is real).
- not knowing how to be clear about your casual interest
- fear of getting too “emotionally involved” and complicating things
- fear of coming across as creepy so you hesitate to express interest
I get it. It’s murky AF. And we’d love to introduce a new paradigm to casual sex THAT IS LIBERATING AF.. One where you get to enjoy:
- HOURS of open conversations about sex with different sexual partners!
- Designing what kind of sexual relating works for you (rather than falling into the default "committed relationship").
- Learning YOUR true boundaries (rather than ones that come from from cultural shaming!)
- Being in integrity with your desires. (I find being with casual partners encourages me to become more confident vocally!)
Here's my two cents – casual sex isn't necessarily devoid of emotions or meaningful connections. IN FACT- the casual space can be deeply beautiful.
It doesn't mean you're seeking superficiality!! It simply means you're not seeking the traditional relationship escalator.
.....So Paulina and I are here to get those wheels in motion …… 🛞🛞🛞 to start paving a relationship to casual sex that is easeful, playful, and clear.
We will walk through 4 conversational pillars:
- Stage 1: Expressing attraction
- Stage 2: Pre-sex conversation on STI’s, your sexual desires, your sexual boundaries
- Stage 3: Defining the relationship. Can you be intentional about what you are creating together? Remember that you don’t need to neatly fit into pre-defined societal buckets of sexual relating. Maybe you want casual sex with late night phone calls and emotional support? Maybe you want strictly once a week casual fucks? Or sex, with deep conversations? Or sex only in certain circumstances?
- Stage 4: Post-sex conversation What are your aftercare desires, what did the sex mean to you, what are your expectations are going forward, what sex feedback do you want to share?
If you can start to think about these conversational pillars, you will be able to navigate these casual relationships with more confidence and ease. You will bring a lot more self-responsibility to your interactions.
The result? You can bring a healthy communication culture into all your sexual interactions, which creates safety and trust.
SEXY AF, am I right? ;)

THE FACILITATORS
Paulina Tenner
It took Paulina over 30 years of her life (literally!!) for her conditioning around casual dating to change. She used to think it’s only ok to play with people once there’s a deep commitment or marriage. Only with one person at a time, no exception. She's now fully owning her omnisexual, polyamorous nature, embracing casual dating as a fun and healing form of relating. She completely appreciates relationship commitments aren’t for everyone and in certain contexts, they just don’t feel right. She can’t wait to share how this kind of relating can feel wholesome for everyone involved. She believes it is possible for those in casual relating to meet her evolving relating needs. Her message to the world is simple: pleasure, joy and beauty is to be found in all types of relating, provided they come from a loving place in self.
Paulina likes to call herself a Transcendental Whore and a Sensual Domme. She is a keen practitioner and student of tantra, shamanism, BDSM and other forms of conscious sexuality with organisations such as ISTA (also as an assistant). She has extensive experience as Temple night host and facilitator, circling facilitator (meditation in connection), as well as a fetish model and burlesque artist! 💃 She’s passionate about open and wholesome sexual expression and creating spaces where others can access their full sensual and sexual potential. She’s also a deeply spiritual being (think Catholic Tantric Shaman meets a Buddhist Alchemist type of scenario 😅). She’s currently on a mission to penetrate the planet, with full consent. The planet is currently busy getting wet for Paulina 😁
