*** This event will now be held online. Join us from the comfort of your home! ***
The current situation calls us to connect deeply to ourselves, to slow down, and to be very boundaried. This is the perfect opportunity to explore what you want, and how to talk about it to make it happen in ways that take care of yourself and others. The theme for this edition of Sex Club will be ‘Sex and Intimacy in Isolation’. Does going to see a lover count as ‘essential travel’? Can you have sex over Zoom? What happens when you’re single or are with your partner 24 hours a day with no escape? Whether isolation means you’re having more sex than ever or none at all, let’s get together and talk about it.
At time, more than ever, we want Sex Club to be accessible to everyone, regardless of income. Please email us at sexclubevent@gmail.com, if your income has fallen away due to the coronavirus. We offer free and discounted tickets to people who are affected. We're all in the same boat <3

A much needed and safe space to share experiences, anxieties and celebrations regarding sex, desire and intimacy. I leave thinking how the world and our communities could be different if we were all able to share our vulnerabilities more freely with each other. - Liz C.
★ Do you want to talk about sex in detail?
★ Do you want to learn from the experience & knowledge of others?
★ Do you want to connect with like-minded people and make new friends?
Sex Club breaks the taboos around intimacy and sexuality. Come listen, come share with curiosity and in juicy detail, about sex, no sex, sexual dynamics, myths, monogamy, polyamory, the vagina, the penis, the anus, orgasms, no orgasms, spirituality, communication, menstruation, insecurities, pain, pleasure… you name it.
We believe that sharing experiences and becoming comfortable with talking about our sexuality is a first step to experiencing a more fun and conscious sex life. Come by yourself, with your friend(s), lover(s), partner(s).
FORMAT
The space will be held safely yet bravely. It is confidential and we each share only what we feel to share. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, experience, religious beliefs, and otherwise.
The facilitators did a great job of creating a warm, relaxed, curious and respectful atmosphere. I was touched and amazed by some of the things people shared, deep and vulnerable experiences that normally you would never get a chance to hear about. I came away feeling very uplifted and at peace with the world. Thank you! - Helena L.
Participants will be invited to joined resource document with a closed Facebook Group to continue to keep the dialogue going, and we'll also share a resource document with practises, books and websites that might be helpful for your further sexploration.

David Chambers - Authentic Dating Podcast:
★★★★★ - WOW.... Just WOW. So much fun, so insightful, so open, accepting and the space was so well held. Met some amazing people and we discuss topics that i hadn't thought I would be interested in. I can't wait to the next one. My only complaint is that I wish it was all day. :)
Amy Cooper - Secret Seed Society:
★★★★★ - I have taken part in these conversational Sex Clubs before and found them really fascinating, safe, reassuring, enlightening, lightening, stimulating and opening I recommend them. It is not therapy but it is therapeutic, it is not about kinks or being straight or queer, it's whatever the group brings. The variety makes the conversation richer and the difference between us has always seemed to be reassuring. Come if you have sex, come if you don't have sex, come if you feel convinced you know something about sex and would like to share, come if you have no idea what questions you would ask about sex or what you would share. My take home was that we navigate sex for ourselves and can find inspiration and connection from others. Try it..."
Mark Wagner - MKII:
★★★★★ - What a blessing to have discovered Sex Club! A sharing circle where we can finally impart our experience, thoughts and feelings on a theme that concerns all of us: Sexuality. Staying well clear of personal judgement, opinions and dogma the atmosphere is warm and welcoming and most importantly acceptant of one and all. For me personally, the 'session' facilitated the integrated realisation that from here on, the evolution of my sexuality was intricately connected to my ability to communicate about sexuality.... So what better place to start than Sex Club!"

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATORS
Juliane Mueller
I’m a facilitator of transformational spaces, community activist and artist. Sexual liberation is at the heart of individual transformation, without which there can be no meaningful societal progress. To this end, I have co-founded Sex Club in 2017, a conversational and experiential group space to normalise talking about sex and its nuances, to share knowledge and experiences, and to redefine sexuality as a spectrum. I am an experienced space holder, having co-founded an intentional community in London and received training in non-violent communication, co-counselling and mindfulness-based resilience.
My artistic and personal enquiry is the authentic expression of self through creativity, intellect, emotion and sexuality. I consult on collective experience design at festivals, transformational co-created events and artist residencies. I spent 10 years in the corporate tech industry before my calling into the nonprofit sector and I remembered that I'm an artist, as we all are.
Jem Stopes
Jem is a Bristol based facilitator, mediator and event producer. Their experience co-creating and facilitating within sex-positive spaces spans several years and their own explorations of body positivity, consent and embodiment go further still. They bring a sense of calm and deep empathy into the spaces they facilitate, along with a playfulness and irreverence that keeps things vibrant.
They keep themselves busy with a range of facilitation and event production work; from teaching mental resilience in workplaces to running a mobile sauna. What’s got them most excited right now is the imminent launch of Bristol’s first outdoor, clothing-optional spa.
