Sex Toys 101 for Queer Boys tonight at Venus Envy

By Bradley Turcotte • August 21, 2012 2:31 am EDT

Adult store Venus Envy may be seen as being tailored to the girls of Ottawa, yet tonight the sensual shop is offering a free workshop for boys.

Sex Toys 101 for Queer Boys will address everything from anal and sensation toys to the proper use of lube.

The workshop will be led by Mark Schaan, who, aside from leading educational, sex-positive workshops such as this, has been an integral part of the Ten Oaks Project for many years.

The workshop is open to any man who plays, or wants to play, with other men, regardless of identity.

Sex Toys 101 for Queer Boys

Tues, Aug 21, 6:30-8:30pm

Free

Venus Envy, 320 Lisgar St
