Often sexuality is overlooked as an integral part of health and well being. Sexuality is seen as something that is a luxury or in some cases a chore, but increasingly there is eveidence to suggest that paying attention to one’s sexuality, sexual vitality and relationships regardless of age, orientation or relationship stautus can have huge benefits to overall physical and emotional well-being.
My approach to sex and sexuality is humorous, witty and engaging, earning me a strong following and great respect from my diverse audience and also my peers and colleagues. My primary point of difference is my emphasis on sex education for adults, eliminating the shame and embarrassment of not knowing, emphasising the importance of pleasure for health & well-being, and addressing even the raciest topics in a fun, inclusive, intelligent & light-hearted way. Contact me  or email cyndi@cyndidarnell.com to enquire about attending any of these workshops and / or having me come to your venue, club, university, college, TAFE, business lunch, conference or party to teach, present or speak. I can also create workshops or seminars to YOUR specifications and demographic; just let me know if you have an idea for a workshop or presentation you don’t see listed here.

Whether you have a community group or a club, are looking for an alternative to the same old boring buck’s or hen’s night, or are just interested in spicing up your business lunches with a little work/ life balance for your staff here is a range of topics you can choose from:

General Workshops

  • Passion Primers: Having A Better Time In The Bedroom

This is a workshop for lovers who are interested in taking their sexuality and their relationship a step further. In this workshop we’ll look at the inhibitors to sex and pleasure and how we can work around them to create more intimacy and connection. We’ll work on some physical techniques to get you closer than ever before and also look at ways of improving your communication to get the juices flowing in your relationship. You’ll learn how to REALLY explore your partner and reinvigorate the passion in your relationship(s) while learning more about some commonly used bedroom accessories as well as physical skills to enhance your pleasure as both a giver and a receiver.

  •  Dating Again: What You Need To Know

Just out of a relationship and back on the singles scene with gusto?  You’re older, wiser and more experienced in many ways, but getting it on with a new lover hasn’t happened in a while. You’re not alone and in this workshop we’ll explore getting to know yourself again in a new dating environment. This workshop will help you  work out what you want in a  lover, rather than just what you don’t want, and you’ll learn about boundary setting, saying ‘no’ and expressing yourself better. You’ll learn about the importance of physical presentation to create a good impression and creating a great online profile to attract the kind of people you want. You’ll gain dating tips and tricks to keep the conversation flowing while really getting the most out of your date and your time together. You’ll have a refresher on the importance of safer sex practices, the common STIs, their prevalence and how you can avoid them whilst still having a good time, and negotiating (or terminating) the next date.

  • Exploring Your Unique Feminine Sexuality

Over the years, sex and sexuality have not been easy to discuss, nor have there been many places you could go to get the kind of information you really wanted to know. Doctors often don’t know much about it, and sometimes it feels too personal to ask your friends about their private sexuality.

In this workshop, you will learn more about what sex and sexuality can be and how you can start having better sex right away. This is everything you wanted to know about women’s sex and pleasure, but didn’t know who to ask. Understand more about female anatomy, the G-spot and how it works, clitoral pleasure, orgasms and the hows and whys of masturbation. You will learn more about your own sexuality by understanding just how ‘normal’ sex is, and how to improve your verbal and non-verbal communication skills to increase your pleasure and confidence.  You will understand why men and women often respond differently in the bedroom, what that means for your sex life, what can be done about it and how to better express yourself sexually. In short, this is a crash course in YOU!
