The vulva is magical and a gateway to pleasure!
In this workshop, Relationship Counselor and Clinical Sexologist Dr Martha Tara Lee will help you to understand the vulva and the vagina better (and how to give pleasure with touch), regardless of your gender or sexual orientation. You will feel more comfortable with this part of the body and more in tune with your own needs or that of your partner.
‘The Art of Vulva Pleasuring’ is based on the tantric vulva massage techniques developed by Dr Joseph Kramer who created the Sexological Bodywork certification. As a trained sexological bodyworker, Relationship Counselor & Clinical Sexologist, Dr Martha Tara Lee has been teaching these techniques for the past 10 years. As a facilitator she has a direct, straight-talking, and witty facilitation style. Prepare for sometimes irreverent jokes, personal anecdotes, and plenty of fun!
If you are a person with a vulva then you are very welcome to come and learn more about your body. When you are comfortable in your body, and know it intimately, your sexuality is yours to celebrate and share. More pleasure can be yours.
If you seeking to please a vulva owner ... Yes, this workshop is also for you! You can increase your sexual knowledge and skills, and give more pleasure. And then with more knowledge and skills, comes confidence.
You will Learn:
These are the same techniques taught to vulva owners (and their partners) who experience Vaginismus, painful sex, and lack of orgasm. They are, therefore, therapeutic techniques often taught and used in tantra and somatic bodywork. You may well save yourself years of heartache, confusion, and sexual anxiety due to a lack of understanding about sexual functioning. All your emotions, questions, and laughter are welcomed!
Format:
Interactive and Experiential parts:
Almost the entire workshop will be interactive and experiential. This is a clothing-optional hands-on workshop – please bring your own sarong or towel to lie on / preferred lubricant / plastic gloves if possible. You can also bring pillow(s) for back / head support if you like (the venue will also have some cushions). You can do self-massage or have your partner (of any gender) practice these techniques on you alongside Dr Martha’s demonstration with explanation on a live model. If you are attending alone, you can choose to see if there are other participant(s) willing to work with you, others’ willing for you to witness them, or just witness the presenter’s demonstration.
Core Benefits for Participants:

The Art of Vulva Pleasuring is presented by Dr Martha Tara Lee (from Eros Coaching in Singapore) who strives to be one of the best sexologists in the world. She has a great knowledge of her material, and is very direct and humorous (to the point of irreverence) in her delivery. She doesn’t subscribe to the idea that we need to take ourselves too seriously when talking about sex.

Tickets, Logistics, and Late Policy:
Tickets are released in ‘rounds’, where ‘round one’ and ‘round two’ tickets are discounted to encourage you to book in early. There is no other difference between the ‘rounds’ of tickets. Tickets range in price from $95 to $125, per person. It is never possible to buy tickets on the door, nor by paying with cash. See our FAQ for more information on this. 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. |
MORE QUESTIONS?
VERSION FOR SINGLES & COUPLES. Couples can work together, and singles may work on themselves, witness, or work with other singles (but this is not guaranteed).
Q: Who are these workshops for?
A: For individuals or couples who wish to learn more about sexual anatomy, and genital massage – regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, race, religion, or nationality.
Q: I don’t have a partner to come with.
A: This workshop is being offered to individuals or couples at this time, so it is a non-issue. If you attend with your partner, you’d get to use the same terms/vocabulary after the workshop which makes life easier. You also have the option to attend with a friend - it’s fun to learn together!
Q: But… I’m shy!
A: Don’t worry. You will never be forced to do or say anything during the workshop. Many participants in the past have chosen to just sit and learn without saying a word. We respect individual choice.
Q: How can I persuade my partner to attend these workshops? (though not beyond what is right for them and their boundaries)
A: You could explain that Dr Martha has been running such workshops for close to 10 years, and many participants have said they had to overcome their resistance and are now glad they attended it. We suggest you might encourage your partner by saying that there will be other shy people there too, and everybody attending is there to learn to improve their lives.
Q: I don’t see why I need to learn about massaging my own genitals (I can’t possibly do it right?)
A: Actually you can (massage your own genitals) – not all the strokes though. Each of us need to learn about our sexual anatomy so we can claim our sexuality fully. It is only when we know who we are and what we like, that we will be able to communicate better and more deeply with our partner(s).
Q: Will there be nudity?
A: Yes, we will be doing live demonstrations plus there is optional hands-on practice for participants as they follow along.
Q: Will there be touch?
A: Yes, between consenting partners.

A: Yes on our pre-arranged live models.
Q: Do you need any live models?

Q: Ratio of talk to experiential?
A: About 50/50 percent.
Q: What should I bring?
A: A towel or sarong for lying on the floor. Pillow(s) for back/head support, if you like. Any preferred lubricant and plastic gloves (we will also provide these). A wrap or sweater in case it gets cool. A water bottle is advisable.
Q: What should I wear?
A: Please come wearing loose-fitting comfortable clothes so you have the option of sitting on the floor.

"Very safe space, respectful and interactive. The "parade" was a great way to normalise the differences and similarities between vulvas."
•
"Liberating. I loved the frank, open uninhibited approach."
•
"What a wonderful workshop! I had wanted to do a vulva massage course for years and Dr Lee's workshop was everything I had hoped for and MORE. I love the openness, the sex positivity, her serious but light-hearted, joyful presentation, the safe and cordial environment and the clear and varied instructions. I also very appreciate how Dr Lee went through all the techniques twice. I’m very keen on incorporating the techniques into a whole body sensual massage and into the wider context of connecting with and holding space for the vulva-owner."
•
"The educator was brilliant, and while the nudity and intimacy of touch was confronting at first, it ended up being really freeing and powerful, and great to sit with the barriers of my internalised shame/prudery as it arose. It was a really informative and respectful space. Vulvas are awesome! It felt like a really important thing to bring vulva-owners' pleasure to a central position. I also loved being in a space with people who were excited about the possibilities of learning more."
•
“The lesson is great and very good for those who are very new in sex.”
•
“Dr Martha gave many tips that were very easy to understand. She also answered the queries patiently.”
•
“This is a good workshop which let me know learn about womens genital organ and what can give her pleasure about sex and what we should take care of when we have the first sex so that she has a good sex experience.”
•
“Dr Martha is the live sexopedia who has tons of knowledge about the female anatomy, yoni massage techniques, and she was so passionate that she covered more advanced techniques not listed in the syllabus too. I would recommend anybody to attend this to have transformation live.”
•
“I enjoyed Martha’s vulva massage class. In this course, I learned an easy and a structured way to massage with confidence ... I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn vulva massage.”
•
“This short course allows me to better understand a woman’s body and also help my partner to explore and be in touch with her body.”
•
“Very knowledgeable about anatomy, physiology, and sexology. Introduced new ways of understanding female sexuality and pleasure.”
