This is a crash-course in ethical techniques for creating connection, ensuring consent, and having better sex.
Nowadays, hook-up culture is bigger than ever. Online dating gives us access to thousands of potential partners at the touch - or swipe - of a button. But many of us still aren't getting exactly what we want, and we don’t know why. Stories of disrespect and disappointment are common.
‘An Introduction to Ethical Hook Ups’ is a crash course in better casual sex, with straightforward skills for finding the right partners (and saying no to the wrong ones), making genuine connections, and negotiating sexual encounters that leave everyone better off. Feel good about yourself and enjoy having sex!
This course is designed for people of all ages and genders. It's a practical and sex-positive approach to having great sex.
Questions answered include:
Unlike popular hook-up approaches that treat people like objects to be used and discarded, this workshop will give you new ideas on how to approach casual in a way that’s more likely to get you laid, yet also treats everybody well.
This crash course won’t teach you basic social skills (it assumes you have these already) or guarantee you sexual success (because that’s impossible). But it will share ideas about what could give you an edge, help you make sense of what you want out of a hook up, and show you how to help make that happen.
Facilitator: Georgie Wolf
An Introduction to Ethical Hook Ups is presented by Georgie Wolf (from Curious Creatures and The Art of the Hook Up). Georgie is an Aussie escort, writer, and educator with a mission: to help others lead more successful sex lives. Find out more about Georgie and the team.

Tickets
Our 'rounds' of tickets are really simple: they're all the same, except that some of them are cheaper, to encourage you to book in early (because it makes a huge difference to us in terms of planning). Round One tickets are similar to 'early bird' tickets, and make up almost half of all ticket sales. Round Two tickets, slightly more expensive than Round One, also make up almost half of all ticket sales. Round Three tickets are generally only there once we're close to being sold out, but can squeeze in a late-comer or two. If you're feeling generous, you can buy whatever ticket feels right, but in general, folks buy the cheapest ones available. For this workshop, tickets range in price from $75 to $125, per person. Logistics LATE POLICY: Unless otherwise stated, workshops start at the advertised time, and doors will be locked ten minutes later. This is because late arrivals interrupt the dynamic of the group, and will miss crucial safety information. TICKETS ON DOOR?: All workshop tickets must be pre-purchased online, before the event. It is never possible to pay cash at the door; you will be turned away. More info at https://www.curiouscreatures.biz/faq.html |

"I really enjoyed the presenter who mixed humour and comfort with good / relevant specific knowledge."
