Eros Study: Glory Hole (2023)
Performative Lecture & Embodied Research.
06–11–2023
INVITATION: You’re invited to eros studies, an intimate gathering: part educational series, part munch*, part oral history but mainly a series of mostly horizontal conversations that invite collective exploration into the realms of ecology, sexuality, kink, and BDSM organized by Cy X.
How might the design of the glory hole and its embedded rituals of dissociation and depersonalization lend themselves to new erotic configurations? Can dissociative tendencies be used to create space to be more present with sensation? What role does communication play in establishing agreements within erotic encounters that involve distance and anonymity? What are the glory holes that we encounter in our every day?
There will be curated herbal beverages, open conversations, and a hand hole somatic practice to invite more of the body into conversation. . . it is not enough to just *talk* about holes.
Come flirt, learn, dream, fantasize, meet a new friend, share your thoughts on holes, and see glory holes in real life.
This space is for and centers queer and trans folks and our erotic expressions <3 all are welcum who respect this. Tickets are limited in order to maintain a smaller group dynamic with higher priced options for a paypig or any gender zaddy who wants to support the mission and this space.
