Cum learn the art of pleasure in this brand new DeCal section from the Sexual Health Education Program (SHEP)! No experience in any sexual activity needed, and no requirements to have taken a sex class before!

If you’re looking for an intro class on sex, you might want to also check out the Sex 101: Topics in Sexual Health for a broader range of topics (like identity, STIs and protection, etc.). If you’ve taken Sex 101 already, then you’ll be prepped with the basics for this course!

This class will be a discussion-based course on the various ways to get pleasure out of sexual experiences, no matter what someone’s gender/sex/orientation/hxstory. This class will mostly focus on how to actually approach sexual pleasure through mechanics, techniques, and communication through considerations of anatomy and the sexual response cycle, LGBTQ+ identities, fetishes, kinks, BDSM, aesthetics, porn, drugs, and more. This class will also make its best effort to be as inclusive as possible of all genders, orientations, sexes, levels of ability, class, education, race, ethnicity, and other identities.

As the class is mostly discussion based, keeping up with the readings and attendance is expected.

If you’re ready to test your knowledge of sexual pleasure, expand on what you already know, or are starting from scratch, we’re ready to teach you!
