HOW TO BE IN AN
OPEN RELATIONSHIP

7:00pm
 - 
8:30pm

Open relationships might sound like a lot of fun — and they can be — but they are also more complex and uniquely challenging. Join sex educator and NYU professor Dr. Zhana Vrangalova, as she uses scientifically-backed information to help you figure out whether consensual non-monogamy is right for you, and, if so, guide you through the 5 key steps for how to design your perfect open relationship, and the best practices to making it work long-term.


This event, part of the Touchpoint Sex Ed Series in partnership with The Assemblage, is free and open to the public.

ABOUT
TOUCHPOINT SEX ED

7:00pm
 - 
8:30pm

At touchpoint, we think sexual education shouldn't just make you a better partner--it should make you a better person.  And so, in partnership with The Assemblage, we've decided to put together a series of workshops that will empower you to show up better in the bedroom--and all the other places you interact with humans, too.

 

The Touchpoint Sex Ed Series is a collection of workshops around all things love and sex, taught by a mix of thought leaders and real people from the touchpoint community.

 

All workshops in this series are free and open-to-the-public.

 

If you are interested in teaching a workshop, you can apply here.

ceo - ALCOR L IFE EXTENSION FOUNDATION

Max More is CEO of Alcor Life Extension Foundation. Max's 1990 essay "Transhumanism: Toward a Futurist Philosophy" established the global movement. As a strategist, inventor Ray Kurzweil claimed that "Max More's ideas are very influential among other big thinkers, who in turn are influence leaders themselves." Marvin Minsky, Father of AI, said of Max: "We have a dreadful shortage of people who know so much, can both think so boldly and clearly, and can express themselves so articulately. Carl Sagan was another such one-and managed to capture the public eye. But Sagan is gone and has not been replaced. I see Max as my candidate for that post."
