How many and what type of workshops/classes have you previously facilitated?
I've facilitated a large number of workshops for gay. bisexual, transgender and curious men under Touch Without Agenda for the last 5 years. I have also run mixed gender events under Touch Without Agenda. These often involved erotic explorations and experiences. I've also run workshops for Naked Man Festival (2024 and running them 2025 as well) - external anal massage and introduction to conscious kink. I also ran a workshop for men at Manshine 2025 in April on the somatic exploration of Whole, Healed and Dependable in relation to sex or sexuality from the masculine. I've also run a number of professional development sessions for Sex workers through Respect INC QLD.
What qualities do you bring to your facilitation?
I'm a creative and energetic facilitator. I lean heavily on my counseling and somatic therapy skills and like to run heavily interactive and experiential events. I work hard to create a container of consent and safety through somatic exercises.
What relevant skills and experience/qualifications do you have in addition to Sexological Bodywork?
I'm a trained trauma informed psycho-sexual counselor working in LGBTIQ+ health and men's sexuality. I'm also a therapeutic sex worker under the Interactive Erotic Education framework (IEE) and part of the IEE team providing training. I'm currently churning my way through a Social Work Masters Dissertation on the intersection of ethics and care in sex work.
Facilitator Bio
Have you ever wondered if there was more to sex? My name is Anthony and I work in Sex Coaching. My work explored sexual empowerment, intimacy coaching and conscious touch through one on one sessions, structured workshops and groups. I identify as a queer cis-male.
My work is informed by training in Sexological Bodworking, Interactive Erotic Education and Counseling. I incorporate elements of Tantra, Body Electric and Mindfulness to help discover new possibilities. I do this through Talk sessions, One Way Touch sessions and Two Way Touch sessions, Group Workshops and Online Sex Coaching.
My touch sessions are an amazing way to explore touch and pleasure, and widen your abilities to explore quality sexual experiences. It’s a safe sanctuary where people can release guilt and shame about their sexual practices and explore their erotic needs with no judgment or agenda. My passion is helping people discover, grow and explore their sexual self, and I have a 15 year career in sex and erotic work across massage, BDSM and therapeutic types of work. I'm grateful to be part of the team who created the wonderful Interactive Erotic Education training and framework (Intereros).
Contact me with any questions and I look forward to working with you to explore eros.
Workshop 1 Name:
Queer Erotic Embodiment - Creating The Container
# of participants:
15
Workshop 1 duration:
90 Minute Workshop, 2 Hour Workshop
Equipment needed:
Speaker
Workshop 1's Intention:
This workshop aims to explore the concepts of the erotic through self touch, movement, somatic process and simple partnered exercises.
Participants will explore their own sense of the queer erotica across a number of domains - and if comfortable, share it with the group.
The workshop aims to have participants create a felt sense of queerness in their erotic lives to further develop in their own time.
Workshop 1 rough format:
Workshop will be delivered as an experiential process. Participants will engage in some ice breakers and consent exercises before being led through somatic exercises and reflective practice. Participants will be invited to share these with other participants in small groups. This workshop is about building the container for understanding.
• Explore embodied consent and communication practices
• Tune into sensation, breath, and body wisdom as anchors for safety
• Name and negotiate boundaries with clarity and compassion
• Honor the diversity of queer erotic expression in all its forms
• Develop a sense of the intersection between queerness, body, identity and desire.
Workshop 1 program description:
In this experiential workshop, we will gather to co-create the safe, consensual, and vibrant container that will hold our exploration of queer erotic embodiment. Before we touch the erotic, we tend to the ground through cultivating presence, consent, trust, and self-awareness as the soil from which authentic connection can grow.
Through somatic practices, guided reflection, and group agreements, we’ll explore what it means to bring our full queer selves - our desires, boundaries, identities, and bodies. We’ll move gently between personal inquiry and collective co-regulation, establishing the energetic and emotional framework that allows erotic aliveness to unfold with integrity and care.
Open to all queer and questioning folks of every body, gender, and experience level. Come as you are. Expect slowness, curiosity, and deep respect for the complexity of being an erotic, embodied, queer human.

Workshop 2 Name:
The Erotic Art of Impact Play
# of participants:
15
Workshop 2 duration:
2 Hour Workshop
Equipment needed:
Speaker
Workshop 2's Intention:
This workshop aims to give participants a taster of the impact part of BDSM through several simple games.
Participants will learn safety, consent and boundaries of the activity. As well as the role our nervous system plays in the activity.
Participants will explore both giving and receiving impact play within their boundaries
Conscious and mindful kink practices will be presented and explored and connected to somatic process.
Workshop 2 rough format:
This workshop is experiential. Participants will firstly be taken through a series of ice breakers and consent exercises. Next some learning around impact play, such as safety. Participants will use the traffic light consent model in a paired slapping exercise. Participants will learn about implements and how the can be used - and then taken through a series of small exercises to explore using conscious kink practice.
Workshop 2 program description:
Impact play, when practiced with presence, consent, and embodied awareness can be a profound pathway into connection, power, and trust. This workshop invites participants to explore the art of impact not merely as technique, but as a somatic experience between bodies, sensations, and emotions.
Through mindful practice, breath work, and partnered exercises, we’ll learn to attune to the subtleties of giving and receiving impact - whether through hands, implements, or energetic intention. Rather than focusing on performance or aesthetic, this session centers felt experience, communication and our nervous system in the process.
