Held twice a month, the Pleasure 101 workshop is an honest attempt to educate attendees on aspects of anatomy, sex, pleasure and stimulation. “Any kind of sex-ed in India is set in very binary terms, and almost always discussed in the context of reproduction or abstinence. Through this workshop, Gosh! will initiate conversations about sex in terms of pleasure that are also queer and trans-inclusive. We’re talking about sex in general, not just the aspect of reproduction,” says 26-year-old Mumbai-based Nikita Barton, a sexuality educator and curator. The idea was born last April, from the need to help their friend understand their anatomy.
