Real Sex Versus Porn Sex Workshop
With Jamye Waxman
Sex on film is a whole lot different than sex in real life. Adult actors and actresses are sexual superstars, bending and twisting in ways most "civilians" can't. In this workshop Jamye invites you to dissect the sex in porn, and takes you behind the scenes to uncover how reality is turned into fantasy. From lubrication and communication to things you should only see in porn (and even that's debatable) Jamye will break down the barriers between real sex and porn sex, and help you navigate your own sex life so that you can get the best information, and education, from both worlds.In this workshop we'll discuss aspects of what goes in to making an adult film, and tips on how you should and shouldn't have sex like a porn star.
