Have you examined what you stand for and why when it comes to your sexuality?
Our attitudes express themselves through our words and actions. Your attitude is an outward expression of who you are, rather than what you do or know.
Attitude reflects behaviour: your attitude towards another determines the other’s attitude towards you.
In short, your attitude determines outcome and the quality of the life you have.
So what should I do?
Change your attitudes and change your life.
A few years back when I was in Sydney attending the WAS conference I also participated in a SAR’s workshop at the University of Sydney as part of my Masters degree. It’s a workshop for anyone who wishes to better understand their own sexuality and that of others, as well as for people who are working in the fields related to sex and sexuality. SAR provided innovative and practical information, training and skills necessary for becoming a more competent, sensitive, professional and for your personal functioning.
SAR is a process-oriented, structured group experience to promote participants’ awareness of their values, beliefs and attitudes on various issues in sexuality, and to assist them in understanding how these attitudes and values affect them professionally and personally. It is a powerful way to increase one’s sexuality comfort and change attitudes that may interfere with effective communication and teaching about sexuality.
What the SAR experience involved was viewing a series of sexually explicit films and discussing reactions in a small group facilitated by an experienced sexuality educator. The workshop is designed to increase understanding of the wide spectrum of human sexual arousal and behavior. Topics explored included fantasy; sexual myths; masturbation; heterosexual, gay, lesbian and bisexual relationships; transgender; alternative relationships; disability and aging.
It was a great experience and if you ever get an opportunity I would encourage anyone to attend.
Or you could always attend our upcoming Monthly Movie Salons.
Watch a different themed movie each month and follow up with lively discussions.
Lounge, nosh on popcorn and chat about the movie.
Enjoy surprise visits from special guests.
Some of the movies are instructional and educational and others entertaining and inspirational.
