Anal August: Anal Play 101

About this event

Curious about anal play but not sure where to start? Whether you’re completely new or looking to build a stronger foundation, this beginner-friendly class offers a shame-free, practical introduction to one of the most misunderstood forms of pleasure. Together, we’ll explore anatomy, consent, communication, hygiene, lubrication, toys, and techniques for comfortable, pleasurable anal play. You’ll learn how to work with your body instead of against it, helping you replace fear and misinformation with confidence and curiosity. We’ll also bust common myths, discuss safety, and talk honestly about cleanliness, discomfort, and the realities of exploring anal play with yourself or a partner. This class welcomes people of all genders, bodies, orientations, and experience levels. There are no explicit demonstrations or nudity—just honest education in a warm, inclusive environment where questions are encouraged and pleasure is never one-size-fits-all. All anal pleasure products at Awakening will be 15% off for attendees on the evening of the workshop. This will be part of a series at Awakening for August - follow our Eventbrite page to receive notifications about our events!
