June Is Busting With M.Christian Classes!

June is going to be a fun, fun, fun month for classes! 


The big thing, of course, is the very cool "Meet the Editors" Live Interactive Web Event that I'll be doing with Jean Marie Stine and Sascha llyvich on June 29th at 5-6:30 PM (Eastern Standard Time).

More info is coming soon but here's the info and the URL to register for this extremely fun (and informative) event:
Those interested in meeting editors of erotica and erotic romance may be interested in attending our free, live, one-time-only online panel on June 29th at 5-6:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. To register, visit the event's registration page at http://crsex.org/meettheeditors.

This is an exciting opportunity for those writing, or thinking about writing, their first hot romance or erotic book, whether you're an established writer or a beginner. Our editors are seasoned professionals who currently work with many different types of writers of erotica and erotic romance—and are all also writers themselves. They'll offer useful tips, Q/As, and one-on-one sessions with participants at the panel.

Once registered, participants in our free "Meet the Editors" event can use Creative Sexuality's site to log in to a simple control panel that lets them talk to editors via a text-based IM/chat window, or use a device microphone if they have one, to pitch their own book ideas or ask questions about the writing, editing, and publishing process.

We'll present all three of our editors, each of whom will help open the event by offering advice and insights into how to write, publish and market erotic romance and erotica today. Then they'll take questions from the audience.

Remember, June 29th at 5-6:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

On Tuesday, June 18th, I'll be teaching Teaching Impact Play: Beyond Floggers And Canes at the Citadel, in San Francisco:
Tuesday, June 18, 2013: 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM

SF Citadel Community Center
181 Eddy Street, San Francisco

Cost: $20.00 at the door
Dress code: Whatever makes you comfortable

Join this workshop to receive (ahem) 'hands-on' instruction in a wide and sometimes-strange variety of different impact toys hands, hairbrushes, paddles, crops, wooden spoons, batons, quirts, and more. While often the physics of these toys are sometimes closely related, to use each one effectively takes particular skill and techniques that are not immediately apparent. Participants will learn not only how to inflict the most pleasure as well as pain but also how to use each item without hurting the wield-er as well as the wield-ee.

The world is the now the Internet ... and if you don't know how to use it then you are at a serious disadvantage in making any kind of connection: employment, social, artistic and – most of all – erotic. This class will not just explore how to use the Internet and various sites as a resource to explore your own sexuality – in any form – but also how to create an effective and alluring online profile. But creating a digital 'self' is only part of it: participants will also get tips on how to reach out in imaginative ways that will get a positive response, the important things that are too often forgotten and other social niceties that can be the difference between frustration and disappointment and having a wonderful – and best of all – sexy time online!

Reminder: Magic Words: Using Erotic Writing To Explore Your Hidden Sexuality And Spirituality

Here's a reminder about my upcoming class: Magic Words: Using Erotic Writing To Explore Your Hidden Sexuality And Spirituality:

Magic Words: Using Erotic Writing To Explore Your Hidden Sexuality And Spirituality


SF Citadel Community Center
181 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA

8:00 PM –10:00 PM

$20 at door

There are many ways to reach your inner sexual and spiritual self -but one of the most surprisingly powerful paths is through the written word. In this lecture/workshop, participants will hear how erotic writing (fiction as well non-fiction) can reach hidden places that often lay unexposed, help make personal discoveries and to assist in a personal journey of self and sensuality. Participants will learn how to free their erotic writing voices, how to develop their writing towards discovering their erotic spirits within, and when to silence -- and when to listen -- to the inner critic.
