Kumbay-Ahh-Ahh-Ahhh!!!: Building a Community Around Shared Sexual Interests
Friday, January 23 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern

There are plenty of national organizations that will help you build up a community around secularism, knitting, or a variety of other shared interests. But what about a shared interest in, say, polyamory or kink? Having sex be an explicit part of your community introduces both challenges and benefits. Our panelists will share their years of experience building and running successful communities where sex is a significant part of what brings them together.

Kinky Sex: Learning the Ropes (See What We Did There?)
Saturday, January 24 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern

“Kinky” is a term that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean? Learn the basics of power exchange, fetishes, and all the different ways you can relate with others and/or have sex (but might not have imagined before!) We’ll also talk about ways to get involved in the kink scene, and how kink intersects with other matters of sexuality such as polyamory and being queer.

Did You Remember Your (Love) Life Vest? Polyamory in the Deep End
Sunday, January 25 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern

At FtBCon 2, we provided a panel on the basics of Skeptics Open Up: Polyamory in the Skeptical Community. Now, we return to the subject of polyamory to delve deeper. For this panel, we assume you have basic knowledge of polyamory (and you can gain that from the last conference’s poly panel and many other sources).

There’s more to polyamory than managing jealousy, multiple calendars, and safer sex. How do you decide whether and how to share your status as poly with family, co-workers, and other acquaintances? How do you blend family and finances? How do you explain polyamory to the children in your life? We’ll cover all of this and more from a panel with years of successful (and occasionally unsuccessful) polyamory.
