Sex with Erectile Difficulties
with Hudson

8:30pm Central Time
This is an in-person event at The Tool Shed
Erectile dysfunction (having trouble getting/keeping an erection during sex) can feel like a huge disruption to your sex life. For some, it may also undermine confidence and self-esteem.
There are many possible physical causes for ED including diabetes, high blood pressure, spinal cord injuries, prostate cancer treatments, multiple sclerosis, and side effects to certain medications. Stress, alcohol use, depression, and anxiety are also possible culprits. No matter the cause, ED doesn't need to be the end of enjoyable sex!
In this class we'll talk about some of the products that are available to help enhance your sex life while experiencing ED. We'll also discuss strategies to help confront some common ED obstacles.
FREE! Pre-registration is required, see ticket link below.

Sex and Cancer
with Hudson
Tuesday, October 27, 2026
8:30pm Central Time
This is an in-person event at The Tool Shed
A cancer diagnosis comes with many unknowns and can impact some of the most important areas of our lives—including sex. Cancer treatments such as drugs, radiation, and surgeries can influence not only how our bodies look and function, but also how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to our sexual partners. This can be especially true in the case of cancers that affect parts of the body we associate with sex and sexuality, such as breast, prostate, testicular, or gynecologic cancers. The impacts can be felt both by the person with cancer as well as their intimate partner(s).
In this class, we'll talk about some of the common issues shared by folks who have experienced diagnosis and treatment for cancer when it comes to sexuality, and we'll share bits of wisdom that people have gathered on that journey. We'll offer strategies for navigating challenges, and resources for support.

Sexual harm doesn’t exist in a vacuum—it affects all of us and every time it happens, strong emotions are evoked. Join Aredvi and Ignacio for a thought-provoking webinar, to explore abolition and transformative justice in action. We’ll discuss healing possibilities for addressing harm as an alternative to punishment, shame, and isolation. Let’s challenge the punitive mindset and make healing possible for people who have suffered and caused harm. Together, we can prepare to respond to harm with compassion and a deep commitment to breaking cycles of harm. We are dreaming beyond punishment toward a future where healing and transformation take center stage.
